My Behringer XENYX 2442FX Mixer does not power up, the only light that comes on is the phantom power light. I opened it up and noticed that the switching power supply has multiple voltage outputs. We checked the 5-volt regulator which is a 7805, it isn't getting any input voltage to the regulator and we are not measuring any other voltages on the power supply output cable. Does anyone know what different voltages this supply puts out, and if so, can you provide a pinout with the various voltages? Also, does anyone know if I can buy a replacement power supply? Thanks.

You should find +/-15 volts and +5 volts as well as the phantom power... but that light can come on at much lower than desired voltage.

Note that the regulators are current limited so a short on the mixer board can kill one of the voltages.... but you are not getting any input from teh switching portion of the regulator so the switching part of the supply is apparently dead. To replace the supply you would have to call Behringer at 1-425-672-0816 to get the part number and an incident number and then call FullCompass which is their part distributor now.

When working on a switching power supply, use an isolation transformer for safety and use a 60 watt lamp in series with the power cord to limit current during testing.

The circuitry will be SIMILAR to the power supply found on page 9 of schematic you can download at:

SOURCE: My Behringer XENYX 2442FX Mixer does not power up,

You should find +/-15 volts and probably +12 volts an +5 volts as well as the +48 phantom supply. If only one of these is missing, check the regulator for it... most are three terminal regulators. If the one that is missing has a hot regulator you have a short someplace and this requires skill to locate Probably the fastest way is to use a thermal imaging camera... however I have often used a millivoltmeter to find where the supply drops tpo near zero. Using a "calibrated" finger and search for a hot component on the circuit board can be very effective. Likely one of the surface mounted chips has shorted. Replacing these requires skill so best leave board repair to a skilled repair person as you can easily damage the board permanently.

My Behringer Xenyx 2442Fx does not get power.I have checked the power cable also.Kindly help me out

The switching power supply has probably failed. See if you can get a number off the power supply board like SPS400 or similar. Unless you are electronically adept this is lkely NOT a DIY repair.

When the phantom power is on, some channels decide to come and to. Particularly with the SM57 mic

Don't know what you are saying. Phantom power is only used for Condenser mics and a few DI boxes. Make sure you ONLY use TRS or XLR cables into ANY/ALL inputs when using Phantom power. Please describe what you mean by :some channels decide to come". ONLY change Phantom power when system is off as you will get loud noise often by switching phantom while live.

I am using the SL 2442FX -pro, my question that if i turn on the phantom power switch and i'm using 15 dynamic microphones and only 1 condenser does it affect the performance of the dynamic mics?thank...

Your dynamic mics should be fine, phantom power provides one positive 48 volt potential to one side of the coil, and a negative 48 volt potential to the other side of the coil so your mics will effectively see 0 volts as these potentials will cancel each other out ( hence the name "phantom" power).
so provided that your microphones are wired properly internally, and your xlr leads are in good condition you will not damage any of your equipment.

I hope this has been helpful

Behringer xenyx 2442fx : I need to know the correct voltages out of power-supply. Mixer has been seen by a previous tech and now FX area and mixer level leds are off (I've been a user of this mixer...

You should find pwer supply voltages of +/- 15 volts going to most of the op-amps.
You should find 48 volts for the phantom power source.
You should find 5 volts for the FX DSP or any other logic circuits.
You should find a +12 volt.

Here is a manual close to your unit (yours is an expansion of it):

I have an Behringer Xenyx 1222FX that won't power on but when switching on the phantom power light does illuminate. Checked all fuses and those are fine

The phantom power light wouldn't illuminate unless the unit was powered on. Possibly the main power indicator light is burned out.

How do i hook up a powered moniter to the behringer xenyx 2442fx mixer?

hook it up to one of the aux output sends (1 or 2), and use the corresponding aux send knob per channel to put each channel necesarry into the monitor signal.

Behringer XENYX 2442FX Mixer. The power light does not come on, The +48V does come on. The solo light blinks Constancy. No sound. I checked the fuses, they seem to be OK. any ideas on what wrong

You have likely lost one, probably the +15 volt power supply... This is possibly a shorted component or a short on the circuit board causing this. It takes some skills at troubleshooting to find this. Sometimes using a thermal imaging camera will show hot spot... other times you have to search with a millivoltmeter. The rude solo light is driven by an op amp that uses both polarities of 15 volts and to turn it on it pulls negative... Hence I suspect the +15 is missing.
