Behringer MIX800 F.A.Q.

How do I connect the Behringer MIX800 to a PA system?

To connect the MIX800 to a PA system, use the main output jacks on the rear panel. Connect these outputs to the input channels on your PA mixer using standard 1/4" TRS cables. Ensure the MIX800's volume is adjusted to an appropriate level to avoid distortion.

What is the function of the Voice Canceller on the MIX800?

The Voice Canceller on the MIX800 reduces the vocal frequencies from a stereo source, effectively minimizing the lead vocals, allowing you to sing along with the remaining music. This feature works best with stereo recordings where vocals are centrally panned.

How can I reduce feedback when using the MIX800?

To reduce feedback, position microphones away from speakers, lower the volume to prevent microphone pickup of speaker sound, and adjust the EQ settings to cut frequencies that are prone to feedback. Additionally, use directional microphones to minimize ambient sound capture.

Can I use the MIX800 with a laptop for karaoke purposes?

Yes, you can connect your laptop to the MIX800 using a stereo mini-jack to dual 1/4" cable. Connect the mini-jack to your laptop's headphone output and the 1/4" jacks to the MIX800's input channels. Adjust the input levels on the MIX800 accordingly.

What maintenance is required for the MIX800?

The MIX800 requires minimal maintenance. Regularly check and clean the input and output jacks to ensure a good connection. Keep the unit in a dry, dust-free environment and periodically check the power supply for any wear or damage.

How do I connect multiple microphones to the MIX800?

The MIX800 has two microphone inputs. For additional microphones, use a microphone mixer to combine multiple mic signals into a single output and connect this output to one of the MIX800's mic inputs.

Why is there no sound coming from the MIX800?

First, check all cable connections to ensure they are secure. Verify that the power supply is connected and the unit is turned on. Next, check the volume levels on the MIX800 and your connected audio sources. Ensure that the correct input source is selected and functioning.

How do I apply an echo effect to my voice using the MIX800?

To apply an echo effect, connect an external effects processor to the MIX800's FX Send jack. Adjust the FX level control to send the desired amount of microphone signal to the effects processor, and return the processed signal to the MIX800's FX Return jack.

Can I record audio from the MIX800 to a computer?

Yes, connect the MIX800's main outputs to your computer's audio interface using 1/4" cables. Ensure your audio interface is properly set up with your recording software. Adjust the output levels on the MIX800 for optimal recording quality.

How do I reset the MIX800 to its factory settings?

The MIX800 does not have a factory reset function as it is an analog device. To restore default settings, manually adjust all controls to their neutral positions.
