Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

RE: Behringer - KX1200

I have NO Distortion, hiss, pops and crackles.

The packaging was extremely good, packing within packing.

Great eq for the lows of the kick and highs of the HH and CYMs

XLR inputs if you need 

Builting direct out if you need. I use a DI20 to allow the PA total 
house control.
