There are thousands of us out there starting a podcast without your musical/audio background so things such as mixers and how to use them are like learning a foreign language to us. We need instruction even more basic like: this is what the plug thingy looks like and here's where you put it (see we don't even know the names of the connectors). Owners Manuals are so thin and unhelpful these days, that if it weren't for such helpful people as yourself, I don't know what we'd do. They tell us what the knob is called, but we just don't know what that means or how /why we are supposed to turn it. Thanks again for your video. I'm now on Day Two of trying to get everything connected, and getting the correct cords and adapters, but at least with your video, I am more confident on how to use it once I finally get it all together. Fingers crossed:)

I have a similar small unit here...you made more sense than the instructions...great layman's explanations get the message across. Beneficial for those who are just starting out. I have a 12 hole Behringer, and a Yamaha 212s. Depends on the occasion and how big, whether I take the Yammy or Behringer. All three are great mixers. As a musician I have been picking the brains of all the soundguys and gals too, to get a reasonably respectable knowledge of sound gear. I found the small mixer in a small restaurant when I was doing solo, great with small 100w. Still had the quality, but lesser volume. If someone asked me 40 years ago I'd be using those things, I'd be saying get me a pilot's licence first...lol. If there's anyone around me who has a better knowledge to set my mixers up, even better if they volunteer their efforts...the winner is me with an even clearer sound...and the patrons win too. Unlike some musicians, I am not afraid to learn more even at the age of 70. If you think you have learnt everything, you haven't learnt as much as you think, and you are probably conceited. And I've met a few of them. Great down to earth vid.

I have been playing in bands for a few decades and I learned the hard way. One thing I did learn is that less is more. I also learned that being loud is not really a good thing. You need to play to within the limits of the PA system. If you push the system, it becomes harsh and distorted and you lose quality audio. Also, putting different instruments into a proper part of the EQ mix and keeping them clean and distinguishable is a great start to any mix. Thank you for your comment. I do appreciate the feedback.

There are only 4 low impedance plugs on this mixer. the other 8 channels are 4 stereo channels (Left & Right) that can be used as 8 high impedance channels.

@Tobinindustrial3 жыл бұрын
@@billfahrner587 The compressor is not crucial for low volume, light duty, easy listening music. A good overall balance of vocals and instruments is the key to pleasant and happy playing/listening. The compressor evens out the lows and highs of a signal to make the signals even and not spike. This is especially handy when you have an aggressive bass player who may cause "compression" spikes in signal and therefore causing possible distortion and harsh signals that can be offending to the ear. The bass drum can also be harsh and need compression or limiting. A limiter would remove the end attack of a kick drum and tighten up the sound and remove the sometimes audible rumblings and overtones. This mixer does not have that feature though :( Just be knowledgeable that there are many devices out there in the audio chain that can help provide a better musical experience. I wish you all the best with your setup. Please feel free to ask any further questions. Also, thank you for your service to Christ. May God bless you and your flock.

@Tobinindustrial5 жыл бұрын
Any powered speaker that is designed for Public Address (PA) speaker. Behringer, QSC, Mackie, Yamaha andother audio companies make powered speakers and non powered. Nonpowered speakers just need an external amp to amplify the audi to the speaker. The powered or non powered speaker typically come in and 8, 10, 12, 15 or 18 inch speaker with a tweeter or horn for the highs. There is usually a crossover built into the powered speakers. The speaker I am using is the Yamaha DXR10 powered speaker which has a 10 inch speaker and a horn. I have found Behringer to be the cheapest powered speaker out there currently and is typically of good quality. I hope this is helpful to you

Question? do I need a power amp to run the mixer? can I plug in two more speakers along with the power amp or is the power amp adequate? I am only using the mixer for personal use in my basement studio. Second do I need the direct imput box to plug in my guitar to the mixer? Thanks for your help
@Tobinindustrial11 ай бұрын
Hello there and thank you for dropping by with a comment. I appreciate your kind words on my video. About your first question, this mixer has a low preamp signal out so it would not have enough power to run a typical stage speaker. A powered mixer would be different as it has some built in power amp(s). Headphone speakers would work well but you will certainly need an amp of some kind to take the 'pre-amp' signal and boost it for your speakers. A typical power amp is usually stereo (Left and Right) so you just need to watch out for how low your amp can go in ohms. I don't want to make things complicated so I will just say that a typical PA speaker is usually 8 ohms and a typical amp can do 8 ohms or less. Two speakers should work fine with one amp hooked up to this mixer. Now, your second question. the simple answer is, YES... You can run your guitar directly into the input of a channel by a tyoical guitar cord. A 'direct input' device typically just splits the signal. one signal for th PA board and off to the amp and speakers. The second signal goes to your personal stage amp or monitor speaker. With a direct Input "DI" you can add more headroom since most 'DI's" have a low impedance which will allow the board to give that channel a bit more headroom. Also, some DI's and Mixers will offer you PHANTOM POWER... that is another good research item for you... This mixer has PHANTOM POWER built in. That wil be for when you get deeper into sound reinforcement techniques. I don't want to complicate things so I will just stop there. Youcan do your own research on the benefits of DI's and other things but just know, if you hav an amp and two speakers, you are well on your way to doing somesound reinforcement work with your PA. Good luck with it and God bless you!

Main out is a signal of all mixed audio that is processed through the board. It is a low wattage preamp signal ready to be boosted by a power amp signal. You can connect your CD player whereever you wish, on tany channel with high or low impedance. Just set the preamp siganls appropriately to not overdrive the audio chain. Some instruments or electronics will perform better depending on the the connection like High Imp. Low Imp or RCA inputs. It all depends on what you are using and the general output qualities of the unit. experiment on what sounds best or works best in the audio chain. Usually, if you look at an owner's manual, the companies will recommend how to hook up the unit for use.

Andy... nice work and thank you for this video! Hopefully you will be making more with other mixing boards and more complex setups. That's my issue... I recently purchased a PreSonus StudioLive AR8 USB Mixer and Audio Interface with Effects with the expectation of accomplishing many different setup options. I'm a newbie to mixers, but not to Amps, Guitar Pedals, Mic Vocals, with direct inputs. I still need to purchase some powered speakers, but for now I was hoping to be able to use my existing equipment, Fender Acoustic 30 DSP amp, Fender Champion 30 DSP Amp, GT-10 Guitar pedal, BeatBuddy Drum pedal, and my Sure Beta 58A mic. I think... to accomplish this, I need to get a single or most likely a dual DI box, to be able to use my Amps like speakers, to project the mix? But... this is were it get's more complex and fuzzy for me. I may not be able to use my existing equipment that way now? Anyway... maybe you will consider doing a video with a mixer that shows different ways to connect equipment? Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

Andy, Thanks for your reply. I have the Behringer XENYX 1202FX Mixer. There are no EQ's (hi, low, med) on the stereo bus. I also have a spare Stageworks M246- 6 channel mixer with EQ's on all channels. Is there anyway to hook up both mixers to utilize EQ's on the M246.? I know this is an unusual question. God Bless.
@Tobinindustrial3 жыл бұрын
I am sure that any preamp signal can be injected into another preamp input but I really don't see how that would make any discernable difference. My suggestion is that you buy a cheap eq to send the signal of the mixer in and then go out to the powered speaker or amp. I know this would not be channel specific eq adjustment as it will cover the whole mix of your system. If channel eq is what you desire, I'd just upgrade to a mixer that has that ability. They are relatively cheap used and a good price point new as well.

Although this would seem to be helpful, just know that every room and every type of speaker has it's own audio dynamic and so there is no absolute setting that is perfect for each PA or room acoustics. Understanding what each control does and how it effects the other controls is key and the rest comes down to listening with a keen ear to the acoustics and sound of the whole room. When the room begins to fill with people, the audio dynamics change again and so there may be a need to tweak the system once the audience is in the room. My personal settings for this demonstration may be totally different with your speakers in the room you have the system setup. Finally, it is the fault of lighting and the camera which makes the video not so clear. the camera is High Definition but I think the lighting is not very helpful in this video. Thanks for watching.

Run guitar to a the loop pedal. Pedal out to channel on mixer. If you need to use a stage amp, use DI box first. Guitar into DI and out to stage amp. Low impedance output of DI to low impedance of mixer. Adjust as necessary. This mixer is capable of phantom power as well in case your DI can use it.

Great, video. Thank you for taking the time to share - I learnt a lot. One question I have though is I was surprised to see that the level control of the mic is so sensitive. On at 1 and off at 0... might make fine adjustment tricky. Would you run it like that or turn down the gain, main mix, or amp level?
@Tobinindustrial3 жыл бұрын
In order for the mixer to operate most efficiently the main mix level needs to be at UNITY. It seems high but typically the channels are sensitive at this level and so the channel volumes sometimes just need to be at 1 or 2 position for proper balance levels. keep in mind that each mic or input device may not be equal so this mixer will give ample headroom for pretty much any instrument or mic. Trust ,me, it is a good thing when you have lots of volume left for headroom. Audio quality suffers when everything has to be up to maximum. Headroom is very important and the system runs smoothly and has lots left for larger venues.

@Tobinindustrial3 жыл бұрын
Some laptops can have a specialized audio component that is specifically designed to tap into a mixer via a stereo jack, USB or other port. Most laptops do have the stereo headphone out and that would work. You can also change some of the dynamics of the signal by changing the headphone out to an "audio out" via settings. You simply plug a stereo jack into the headphone jack and have the other end of the cord split into two XLR signals or 1/4 inch jack channels ( Use two balanced and mirrored channels on the board) You may also buy a cord that has a 3.5 stereo jack for the laptop and RCA jacks for the RCA input on the mixer. Just read the user manual on how to set up a signal for the RCA output. The push buttons can be a bit hard to figure out but persistence will pay off. Good luck with your setup.

If the mixer has not been dropped or mishandled, then it may be just a need to clean the inserts and switches so they make contact. Internally, there may be a wired plugin or a ribbon cable that has worked its way loose. I'd check to ensure all the pots are working and that your PSU is properly plugged into the socket and snug as well. Other than that, it would be difficult to troubleshoot beyond that without taking it apart myself. The effects unit is a seperate component and it may have failed.

@Tobinindustrial4 жыл бұрын
Hello Simon. Thank you for your comment and question. First, be sure you are comfortable with doing some of these below troubleshoot proceedures. If you are not, ten please take it to somebody who knows what to do like a technician or an electronics person... There are several things that may be causing this "hiss" in the system. First, can you confirm that the hiss is not being generated by the powered speaker? To test this you can plug in an instrument or a mic into the input of the powered speaker and do a sound check. Next, check all your cords to be sure they are working properly and use instrument cords for instruments and P.A. cords for running from the mixer, etc... Make sure the cords are properly shielded as well. Next, you can check the main sliders, volumes, gains, etc to be sure they are not causing a hiss. This may mean cleaning the pots internally with a contact cleaner like Deoxit or Nu-Trol. Any controls or plug ins on the powered speaker could use a cleaning spray as well. Pretty much any contact cleaner will give you good results and help you to troubleshoot this probable issue. Next, clean by spray the places where you are inserting cords. these plug ins can get dirty and there are small switch contacts that sometimes get corroded or dirty. Also, you can check the power supply for any issues. (voltage & amperage) Confirm that the mixer is achieving the proper grounding from the wall. (check power at home plug in for proper voltage... BE CAREFUL!) I would think that it is only a positive and negative wire (DC volts) at the plug in of the mixer so the mixer would not work if the ground there was bad or intermittent at best. Overall, the only other issue that I could think of is that a component has failed in the speaker system or mixer. This can also be a failure from a bad internal plug strip, ribbon cable, etc... Good luck with your troubleshoot. Please feel free to ask any other questions that you may have. God bless you!

Hello. I was wondering. Should I use DI boxes for mics and instruments? And I am using a bose S pro 1 for my speaker, and I plug that in the main out
@Tobinindustrial4 жыл бұрын
You typically use a DI box to effectively split your signal so that one independant signal can go to your personal stage amp and the other can be used for front of house and stage monitor audio mix. The low impedance channels are the best channels to use as they have more headroom and versatility in mixing. My suggestion is to use a DI box if you want to make a vocal mic or instrument with a 1/4 jack or other be stepped up to a low impedance signal that can go into the low impedance channels of your mixer. As I said, these first low impedance channels are the premium channels to use. Other than that, as long as your mics and instruments can be plugged into the low or high impedance channels, you are good to go. You can use the main out Left or right of the mixer as normal. The pan button on center will ensure eiether signal (Left & Right) is getting equal signals. God bless you and all the best with this.

@@RestoredSound Make sure your vocal mics are not in front of the speaker especially the tweeter/horn section. You may also be in a smaller room with too much volume on a microphine or instrument. Mics are the common culprit but it can also be cauae by an acoustic guitar with a pickup. You can buy a feedback buster for guitar that goes into the soundhole to decrease feedback. Other instruments may be the cause or some other input. You can turn off all channels and bring each one back on individually to see what may be the troubling mic or instrument. My best guess is the loudness of the mic or settings too high like the highs of the mic. Or the placement of the mic relative to the front of the main speaker.

XLR is the best option but 1/4 jack and RCA input is functional. As I mention. injecting your audio intomthose XLR channels opens up much more control of the capabilities of the mixer and all the built in tools. I use RCA to play compressed CD and digital audio. The key in using RCA is to ensure you have high quality audio files so you get highy quality audio. Using a laptop mixer program to play your files is a great help if it has EQ and audio control capabilities.
@Tobinindustrial4 жыл бұрын
I'd certainly would at least use two ono channels in an RCA to 1/4 conversion for better control. Use quality cables and adapters and balance the two mono signals equally. You may also use pan to take the left and right RCA signals to Left and Right of each channel. Example: Pan channel one 1/4 inch jack all the way left and channel 2 1/4 inch jack right. Experiment with these parameters and find what best suits your audio tastes. Enjoy.

You don't need to use the XLR. Yes, the 1/4 inch jack is a usable input for instruments but using XLR gives you the best amount of headroom and control. You won't notice the difference unless you try it. I used 1/4 inch jacks on the input for instruments for years with lots of success but if you want to get the most out of a channel, then the XLR input is premium. the difference is not mind blowing but it is a better way to input such instruments. DI boxes, especially good ones, will make a difference. Professional sound reinforcement techs always want you in a DI so they have more control and premium ability to make the instrument sound the best it can be. Please feel free to use the 1/4 input as you wish and I am sure you will still be a happy musician. the 1/4 inch jacks is a quick and easy way to inject instrument signals into the board. It is very convenient and a patch cable is easy to find as well.
@Tobinindustrial4 жыл бұрын
@El Cachafaz All professional venues like to use DI boxes on most instruments. The Arts and Culture centers across Canada typically have DI boxes for everything including microphones. If not for the DI boxes, you'd need to direct feed into the mixer which is sometimes 100 feet or more away. Snakes are also used to patch from the stage to the mixers and the Di splits the signal so that it can be also sent to your stage monitor. It is the most convenient way to do live sound on stage in my opinion> Each DI box is numbered for quick reference as well.
