This is indeed a rare feature for products in this class – but standard on the XENYX Q802USB mixer. With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. Our “one-knob” compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users.
