Bluetooth Mixer Setup and Tutorial - How to Use an Audio Mixer

If you are wondering how to setup a USB mixer or Bluetooth audio mixer this video should be helpful. I show how to use a mixer and audio mixer basics. For this video I am using my Pyle PMXU83BT Digital USB Bluetooth Mixer.
In this video I explain:

[@fantasylive1102]

Man! I'm hoping you can help me out! I just bought this to use for a podcast so my main use case will be using it via usb to my PC. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my computer to recognize it. Nothing happens when I plug it in. Doesn't download the drivers automatically like the site says it will. Did you have to do anything special for your PC to recognize and download drivers? Instead of saying "PC" in the display, it just says "NO". :/

[@smurfgdabossO4L]

Same Happening for me

[@PrestonKallshian]

There are no drivers. It uses windows sound settings. It is simply a USB headset so change your mic and speakers to the mixer in sound settings. It is plug and play.

[@politicamenteincorrectos4770]

Thanks for the video very helpful. I do have a question regarding the Main Out audio quality, when I connect everything, I hear some sort of white noise, is there a way to get rid of that? Is similar to what I can hear on your video when you are not talking, please let me know if is related to the quality of the mic or something else. Thanks in advance.

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yeah, in this video the mic and gains are pretty high so it's picking up too much. Adjust the mic gain down until that is not there and then test your levels. It's all about tweaking the knobs for your setup.

[@Inspiratietour]

Thx Preston for this instructions! Do i need an 8 channel if i'm a podcaster and want to have an interview with my phone?

[@PrestonKallshian]

You're welcome! You could use a 2 or 4 channel mixer for that. It's really about how many devices you will plug in. For the phone connection there are a couple of options. The Bluetooth will work great for talking on the phone thru the mixer however if you are using the Bluetooth you cannot connect to the PC via USB at the same time. I would either place the call through your computer instead of phone if possible (I do this with Google voice but apple probably has a way too), or get a headset connection wire for the phone which will allow a wired connection from the phone to the mixer. Let me know and I will help you.

Hello... great tutorial... but i have a question or 2.... i just purchased the 3 channel version of this mixer....the reason why i bought it , is to enhance my voice for my YT videos... here's one of my questions... will this unit hook up with my Blue Tooth speakers.... will this unit work with this Samson Technologies Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone....i'm not too sure of how to ask the next question .... i am ready to start my intro for my video... i have my mic plugged into this unit now i start recording... do my adjustment to this unit get recorded at the same time... i hope that made sense .... anyhow any help you can give me would be appreciated.... vinny

[@PrestonKallshian]

Good questions. No it can't hook to Bluetooth speakers. The Bluetooth is input only and it doesn't work while in PC/USB mode. Yes, it is made for XLR inputs so the Samson with XLR plugs into channel 1 and then mixer to PC via USB cable. The mixer becomes the audio input/output device. Whatever you can do with it will be heard in your PC recording.

Maybe I’m dumb. But I’m new to mixers, everytime I plug my XLR microphone cord in, it doesn’t seem to register that a mic is plugged in. I’m not sure what to do. I’m on the iMac but have a microphone to usb adapter for it, but what should I be plugging the red and white cord from it into

[@PrestonKallshian]

XLR microphone into one of the mixer xlr inputs. Make sure gain and levels are up for that channel. USB cord from mixer to computer. Make sure the mixer USB button is pushed and on PC settings not BT. Set computer sound input and output to the mixer.

[@sonofthewavmusic6927]

Probably a dumb question but three mics can be used with the Pyle too??

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yes, with the mixer in this video you can. That's the big difference in many of the 4, 6, 8 channel mixers is how many microphone inputs are there. Count the combo jacks on the mixer to be sure.

[@PrestonKallshian]

Hmmm...I'm not sure on that one. Seems like you would need to pan each mic to the specific side. This mixer does not have pan.

[@teddybonkers337]

Hello sir✌️ Great video. I'm new to mixing boards and i have an idea but I don't know if is possible. I have a pair of Edifier s3000pro powered speakers with xlr balance inputs and I'm buying a pair of Kali in 8 powered monitors. My question is can I use a mixer board to make them play at the same time for my tv or streaming devices without breaking them? I would like to use my 2 different pairs of powered speakers as my home theater and music set up and listen to them at the same time. If this is possible can you recommend a board that would sound great and won't break the bank. I thank you in advanced sir. English is not main language so I hope I'm making myself coherent enough. 🙂✌️

[@PrestonKallshian]

I don't think you need a mixer for that. You only need to split the output from your TV to both sets of speakers. A simple headphones splitter and wires to each speaker set would do the same. For that much money I would buy a dedicated TV surround sound instead of monitors.

[@teddybonkers337]

[@borg386]

So can you send music via Bluetooth, but how do you( or can you) send the microphones through the Bluetooth? I want to send microphone signals to powered speakers via Bluetooth which I do already with Bluetooth speakers, but it would be nice to send microphone AND music to the speakers using a mixer. In other words can this mixer be used to send "everything " to the speakers? Thanks!

[@PrestonKallshian]

You can connect one BT device to the mixer for input. The Bluetooth is not an output. Mixer would output via cables to the powered speakers.

[@cdavid2583]

Thanks for the video Preston! 1. Is there any necessary for me to set the USB panel, when plugged via USB TYPE A cable from mixer to the computer? or it will detect automatically on the mixer. 2. Can I run OBS with Mixer on live streaming?

[@PrestonKallshian]

Push the USB selection button on the mixer. Mixer will connect to PC via USB and should display PC on the mixer. You'll change the windows sound input and output to mixer. Yes you can stream obs live. The mixer becomes the pc mic and speaker so really anything is possible.

[@beaustaab2207]

Would this work for a 6 person podcast??

[@PrestonKallshian]

I would recommend a mixer with more channels. This mixer can really only support 4 mics. If you need 6 mics plus some other devices plugged in/out I would get a 12 channel mixer because it will have the 6-8 mic inputs you need. The Pyle PMXU128BT would be my choice. I have a very similar mixer the PMXU46BT

[@tamephraim8155]

Can I podcast with this? Do I need a power amp because I only have a laptop? Can I connect with a usb ? And my last question is if I wanted to take live phone calls with this mixer?

[@PrestonKallshian]

This is perfect for a podcast. No need for an amp just plug it into your PC USB and plug your mics into the mixer.

[@PrestonKallshian]

You can do anything you can do with your PC through it as the sound device. Calls will work.

[@ricanrickie007]

Can I connect my "XLR Alto professional bluetooth" to this mixer to send music to my powered speakers wirelessly. One Alto connected to this mixer and one Alto connected to my speaker. Im being specific so you know exactly what my question is. Thank you.

[@carldehoney8633]

I don't use a go pro. Can this mixer be hooked up to my stand-alone Denon Prime4 ? If so, where do you connect the controller to the Pyle ?

[@PrestonKallshian]

Probably yes. You can pretty much plug any device into the mixer that's exactly what it is built for. Plug it into the Tape In with RCA plugs.

[@TheEvilDM]

I know this is old but still its a great overview of the board. The one thing I've noticed with this board is that if you are doing a podcast with people online, the board echos or loops back their sound to them. I have not figured out a way to stop that. I've tried on skype, zoom, discord... everytime the other people keep saying they hear themselves from me. I had to return the board, because with that issue, its no use to me.

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yeah, that is a setup issue. I have not had theat problem.

[@TheEvilDM]

@@PrestonKallshian called the company and their tech support said that’s how it works. So again, while a cool board, it didn’t work for me.

[@PrestonKallshian]

I've been using it for years without that issue.

[@PrestonKallshian]

I think the issue for those reporting feedback and echo is the windows sound settings. You need to unchecked the listen to this device checkbox in the advanced device properties of the sound input device.

[@richiOMG]

Thank you very much for the video! Great overview Quick question: no submix, right? If I play from the USB channel, there's no way to send it only to the Monitor out and not through main out again, correct?

[@PrestonKallshian]

You might be able to do that. Not sure I understand so please explain. I use the main outs for speakers, "Send" can be used for sound output instead, or possibly the headphone jack or control room out. All are outputs at different levels.

[@richiOMG]

I would effectively be using the usb channel for both recording and playback, but i dont want the usb playback audio to pass through onto the usb record channel For example a lot of behringer mixers get around this issue with some toggle switches that send both usb and 2-track inputs to only control room/headphones, or to the main mix. Engaging control room/headphone routing stops the usb audio from coming out from the main out or usb out. Im wondering if there's something similar that can be done with this mixer

[@richiOMG]

@@PrestonKallshian Another scenario I could think would be a good explanation would be overdubbing Making a multitrack file on a DAW with only one track out of the USB built int interface: I would have to playback a previously recordad track, say a guitar, and then record vocals on a separate track, but I only would want the vocals, not guitar and vocals on the same track within the DAW

[@PrestonKallshian]

@@richiOMG The functions you mention on the Behringer are not available on this standard consumer-level mixer. That is the only downside, the USB audio passes thru back and forth continuously so may hinder some gaming activities and recording techniques. I have upgraded to the Pyle Pro mixer which adds the PFL and Mute features on each channel, although those features do not effect the USB channel and recording. Only the main out.

[@richiOMG]

@@PrestonKallshian Such a shame! I was hesitant to buy Behringer products because of their reputation of not standing the test of time, also separe phantom power switches for the xlr inputs on behringer mixers are rare I'll have to pick my poison Either way, this mixer is still great and probably will consider it for other applications, great bang for the buck Thanks for all the information, Preston. You've helped a lot. Definitely subbing and will look forward to more of your videos!

You cannot Bluetooth out of the mixer. Only into it. It is usually possible to connect via aux cable. Any device with a speaker can potentially play out loud the mixer sound. I would use a headphone splitter to connect headphones and an aux cord or one if the main outputs. There are many ways to do this.

[@PrestonKallshian]

I think you will run into echo issues if you do it this way due to the PC sound (and mic) being pumped back through the PC/MP3 channel on the mixer. If you really want your mics out loud you should be connecting the speakers to the mixer.

@@PrestonKallshian Preston, thank you for your reply and this very well done video. We use this mixer for our small church and so we use it to control our PA system, etc. That control seems to do nothing when we adjust it. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be used. Nothing changes if we move it up or down? Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@PrestonKallshian]

Ah, well it does not affect every output. Just the main I think so I'm not sure.

[@hashtagbeardedbanker]

Any help with why the board says PC but no computer will recognize it anymore?

[@PrestonKallshian]

Not sure. Never had that issue.

[@chadnoles5671]

I really just need somebody to sanity check me I'm trying to set up a dual PC stream with this board if I run from the USB to my gaming PC and then from control or headphones to the mic input on my streaming PC the audio should carry to both computers am I correct or do I need to rethink this

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yeah, certainly audio will flow out of those. I'm not sure if this is the optimal setup or not but it should work.

[@chadnoles5671]

@@PrestonKallshian what would be the optimal way of doing it if I've already got the equipment I'd prefer to do it the best way possible

[@PrestonKallshian]

Try it as you described. Typically I need to run a test stream (private) or do a local recording to see how it works.

[@terrysalazar9294]

If we’re trying to do a live stream can this mixer connect to OBS studio if so how

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yes, hook up the mixer to your pc via the USB connection. It becomes the mic or sound input into the pc and obs. I do this all the time.

[@gtoykeeper]

How do I setup the driver to actually start recording

[@PrestonKallshian]

There are no drivers. Just plug in the USB, make sure the mixer is in PC mode, then change the input/output sound device in the sound settings of the PC

[@BruceReacts]

Can I use 4 headphones at once? If so which inputs do I use?

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yes, but you will need a headphones splitter. You can get one on Amazon that splits 4 ways

[@nzm5192]

Can you record a podcast straight to a usb?

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yes

[@bill_tin]

im having an issue. both my computer's sound and my microphone get routed through the same channel

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yeah, that can be an issue. Try turning down 7/8 a bit or the pc sound. The other thing you can do is change the PC output speaker to speakers or headphones instead of the mixer for output

[@PrestonKallshian]

I've got another mixer I'm going to review soon. Subscribe for updates

[@andrewmay4311]

Can you pair it with a Gemini dj mixer

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yes

[@trackmusic252]

i need help with mines when i use it in a recording program it records the beat and vocals and sound horrible.

[@PrestonKallshian]

Not sure 🤷‍♂️

[@ty-ip9iq]

Does this run with apple ?

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yes, connect via usb

[@WorldFlexWorkouts]

still a little confused, how do i connect it to my pc?

[@PrestonKallshian]

Using a USB cable.

[@johnmaoriroyalmusic3797]

at 4:16 what is the name of the double cable? Thank you

[@PrestonKallshian]

Thats an RCA to 3.5mm cable. They are very common

How to connect to a stereo receiver to mixer

Use RCA cable to connect to the "Tape IN"

[@brianbennion59]

How can one test the audio leaving the mixer via the pc usb interface? I see the device on my audio settings however signals from the mixer are not played on the computer if the input is set to usb mixer and the output is set to laptop speakers. Am I missing software to capture the audio coming from the mixer?

[@PrestonKallshian]

What sound is going into the mixer? The PC output setting will decide where the PC sound goes but cannot process the mic inputs through it i don't think. Not through the speakers but only to the recording on the PC

[@PrestonKallshian]

To answer more directly, I always do a quick test recording sound check to see if it's working.

[@brianbennion59]

For inputs I have one mic (ch 1) and one line in (ch 2) phone audio output in ch 5/6. To test the balance of these devices I have my head phones played into the mixer phone jack. I would like all the input channels to feed into my laptop for zoom meetings. My first attempt was to use the Bluetooth connection, but that seems to only be an input from my laptop. Next I tried the pc usb connection. The mixer shows pc. My laptop does show the usb audio device (lejeili???) in my selections for output and input devices. I set them both for the usb audio. However no audio from the mixer is observed in the laptop zoom meetings... What might I be doing incorrectly in my setup?

[@PrestonKallshian]

No this does work i do it all the time in zoom. Double check zoom audio settings independently, you can test your audio in zoom without doing a real meeting. Also, the mixer usb switch must be pushed and that channel needs to be turned up which is 7/8 on this one.

[@PrestonKallshian]

Double check all your levels. The main slider at 0, USB channel is turned up, usb selector switch is pushed.

[@terrysalazar9294]

Can this mixer be connected to a Mac

[@PrestonKallshian]

I believe so. The connection is usb

[@EdelbertoAbenido]

Down load to connect my Bluetooth speaker mixer

[@PrestonKallshian]

Bluetooth is input only. Speakers must be hard wired.

[@dallaslyric7146]

So, you're just going to skip how to set it up to your PC?

[@PrestonKallshian]

Sorry about that. You really just need to connect it via USB and switch the sound input and output to mixer.

[@dallaslyric7146]

@@PrestonKallshian it's ok. Thank you! I was trying to figure it out via Bluetooth but just went and purchased a USB cord. 😂.

[@PrestonKallshian]

Yeah, the Bluetooth is input only and cannot be used during pc operation so I never use Bluetooth. I can connect any device to the mixer with a wire and USB is 2 way to and from the PC so it is awesome.

[@kinginthenaught]

My Bluetooth don't work. Light flashes 3 or 4 times and stops.

[@PrestonKallshian]

What are you trying to connect? The Bluetooth is input only
