I am an absolute noob when it comes to utilizing mixers. I am trying to use my Behringer X2222fxusb with powered speakers in a live music setting. I cannot get anything out of the mixer.

Read the manuals for both the mixer and the active speakers. If you do not have the manuals, download them from the manufacturers websites. If you don't know hw to use equipment, don't buy it.

SOURCE: Need Behringer Eurorack mixer power supply connector

Those were used for mic connectors at one time,,, they are related to the Amp 91-MC3F family of connectors and those are out of production and they are demanding $20 to $50 for one connector.

That is a ridiculous price and I would be tempted to swap out the connector for a more available design.

On eBay item 250401122616 is one but they want $13 pus $11 shipping which is a rip off.

These were used on some OLD CD radio mics.

SOURCE: my effects on the behringer djx 700 dj mixer stop working how

This is a wild educated guess.

I repaired a Behringer guitar amp that had a DSP effects in it (BX1200 I believe).

The effects were on a seperate board and the board had its own 5 volt power supply. The filter capacitor for the 5 volt power on the board was UNDERSIZED and it had degraded causing the 5 volts to drop out of regulation, dipping to 4 volts. This caused the DSP effects to fail.

YOUR device MAY use the same DSP OR design.

Check the 5 volt power with an OSCILLOSCOPE to look for dips below the 5 volt operating point that occur at 120 HZ.

SOURCE: No Volume oe sound coming out of speakers

try connecting speakers to another sound source or if you have access to a ohm meter, check impedance of speakers, should measure 4~8 ohms.

SOURCE: How do I connect my behringer mixer desk to

The first thing to do is to swap teh L & R INPUTS to the amplifier. Did the speaker that works change?
If som the problem is with the setting of the mixer deck. If it did not change, then the problem is with your speaker wiring of the dead speaker, the speaker itself, or that side of the amp.
If the working speaker did swap, that means problem is with the mixer. The question then becomes how are you connecting to the mixer. You should be using TRS 1/4 inch connectors or preferably XLR from the MAIN outputs. These are balanced outputs connections.
If the inputs are from one of the mono inputs, the PAN control for that channel will control how much goes to each speaker... If at center, both will get same signal.
There are so many possibilities that I can't evaluate them until you try the test to find if it is problem of the amp or the mixer that I have given you to try.

SOURCE: Behringer XENYX 1622FX, won't power on. Phantom power works(?)

After reviewing the schematic, I don't understand how the Phantom power can REMAIN on with the power switch off... this CANNOT occur except for what energy is left in the 48 volt supply filter cap... This might last for minutes after the fuse went... UNLESS you have devices connected which are backfeeding the 48 volts. (which would be a disaster)

The 48 volts, +/- 12 volts and +/- 15 volts and the +5 volts ALL come from the SAME switching power supply. I suspect one of the filter caps went or the primary switching regulator a TDP245Y chip.

You should ONLY work on the line side of this using an ISOLATION transformer since the line side has lethal voltages.

To do testing, one replaces the fuse and puts a 60 Watt light bulb in series with the hot side of the inout line. The lamp "acts" as a resetable fuse and limits the current for testing. When all is well again, the lamp will remain out with the power flowing through it.

The D1 diode bridge and C7 input rectifier and filter are first things to check. You can do those with an ohmmeter.

I will caution you to ALWAYS power any and all equipment from the SAME power source. Plugging in devices from across the room will set up ground loops and any ground fault will fry equipment.

Behringer Europower PMP500 using 1/4 inch cables for speakers?

Question edited for maker.
Question moved from Musical Instruments to correct category.

Running a 1/4" cable has no bearing unless you are trying to run a hundred yards of cable. Check your plugs wiring and connections to the unit. Here is the manual.

Can't hear playback through Headphone socket, only through speaker monitors!

i suggest you contact Behringer Customer Service for advixce. Without the setup in front of me, it's hard to figure out the wire routeing, switch positions, ect. that may be leading to this problem. As they would be the people most familiar with the gear, they'sd be the people to ask. http://www.music-group.com/support/behringer/askquestion

How dso I connect a seperate mixer to a Behringer B215D powered speaker

Use the two balanced outputs, intot he inputs on the back of the speaker, 1/4 inch jack should fit.
Alternativly you can do the same via xlr, for a balanced connection.

Little or no sound

Have you tried another source into the same input on the mixer and does this also come through quiet? Have you checked the gain for the channel(s) you are using? Have you tried a different wire for the connection as well as different source? Is it on all channels? have you tried a different amp?

I don't have a problem. Just a question. I have a behringer pmp3000. Where is the best place to connect two mackie active speakers for maximum results.

There is no such thing as "MAXIMUM" results... Connect the speakers to the MAIN L and R jacks on the face using 1/4 inch TRS (balanced) interconnect cables. DO NOT USE TS unbalanced cables!!! Also an absolute requirement is that the connected active speakers are powered from the SAME receptacle as this mixer. Yes, this means running extension cords, but unless you can tolerate noise due to ground bounce and damage to your equipment respect this requirement... it isn't in the manuals but is well known among professional sound people. Also please read my tip in regard to a hazard for PMP mixers on Fixya tips regarding Channel A when using 1/4 inch adapters from the Speakon outputs.

How to hook up speakers? Sound sounds muffled

You DON'T connect speakers to this... this is NOT a powered mixer... you MUST use external amplifier !!!! You use bvalanced (TRS) cables to a suitable power amplifier which connects to speakers. Some Behringer mixers such as the PMP5000 have built in amplifiers to drive speakers... yours does not.

Will a Behringer UB2442fx-PRO run 2 main PA speakers plus two passive stage monitors without blowing up?

ALL the speakers will either have to be POWERED or have external amplifiers. The mixer has NO power amps capable of driving speakers. When connecting, make sure that the mixer is powered by the same receptacle as the speakers or amps. Used balanced line for interconnection.

How do I hook my preamp up to my computer?

Either through your computer's soundcard (1/8" mic input) or you'll have to get an interface such a an M-Audio FastTrack. There has to be something that converts the analog sound from the mixer to digital info that you're computer can utilize.

How to set up my power mixer?

First thing is to read my tip regarding a speaker polarity hazard of the PMP mixers.

Second thing is to VERIFY speaker cables are properly connected.

If you are using in stereo mode set the slider switch to MAIN L/Main R.

describing all possible configurations is not possible on here, but read your manual with this. If you don't have a manual, download one for free.
