    Hi Mic,
    that makes sense. Now I know where you're coming from I may be able to help a bit more. What re you going to be doing, are you a bedroom DJ or do you do gigs? Do you do Karaoke or ever do sound for live musicians? Do you do recording?
    I run classes on setting up and mixing live material for 'non professionals' in other words people who are not sound engineers but play in bands etc. and have to do their own mixing. We also hire equipment and provide services (such as mixing) to performance artists/bands etc. as well as run discos and karaokes etc. so have tried more combinations than you would believe but end up returning to fairly simple set-ups most of the time. DJs are a nightmare in the main, they have little concept of musical fidelity and seem to believe that when you hear distortion (they think it's loudness because it's hurting their ears) it's good! And as for the typical Karaoke mix, well, what can one say. Most of this is lack of knowledge and understanding and you are at least asking questions which is great. Let me have as much info as you can about what you're wanting to do as well as model numbers of what you've got and I'll see if I can be more constructive.
    Learning what each component you've got and how it will affect sound will take you a long time but you can pick up the basics by downloading and reading the manuals. In general however a long single chain of effects is not a good thing especially when some of them could be working against each other. Most good DJ software has a lot of this built in and if you're using vinyl you wouldn't want to be corrupting it.

This is going to be a nightmare. The only way will be in a daisychain with the crossover probably last, the sonic exciter before it, the virtualiser before that and the DJ mixer (which one are you using) at the beginning of the chain.
What on earth are you trying to do? As a DJ it is likely most of what you play will already have been compressed to the limit so the multicom may not have much to do unless you're going to use it to reverse the effects of the exciter in which case forget both of them.
I assume you're going to bi or tri amp so it is probable the crossover will be last as stated but trying to figure ANY way to get some use out of your list you might try the exciter in the Sub output of the crossover and the virtualiser on the mid and the multicom on mid top but this would just be trying to get anything of value from your list.
Forgive me but it seems you really don't know what you are doing as the equipment you are listing is not really for DJing and certainly would not normally be used in the only way you could really use it in your environment. Did you get a job lot or something?

SOURCE: i need a wiring diagram for the main circuit board

Behringer only gives schematics to their authorized service people.

I find I can usually trace stuff out as needed as the mixers are a very symetrical repeating circuitry.

Most components are readily available from other sources.

SOURCE: i need to get step by step direction to set up a behringer cx 340

You will need to carefully read all your manuals and proceed step by step Here is the first one to look at:http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/CX3400.aspx This crossover goes between the output of your board and the input of whatever power amps you are using. It has sections describing each setup and by what you have said, if you have enough amps you would probably need to run stereo 3 way which is described on pages 9,10 and 11. This would allow you to run a mono sub out setup. The grey areas are the connections and controls you use. Make absolutely sure your cables match the ones in the diagrams and read and heed carefully all the warnings. As far as your E.Q. and your Compressor they are separate topics as they are signal processors and are hooked up in the signal chain of your mixing board. They condition the input signals. Your crossover belongs in the output stage which as mentioned before is from the output of your board to the input of the crossover then from the outputs of your crossover to the inputs of your amplifiers and then on to your speaker systems. Try to find a friendly person on your end who does sound on a regular basis and has experience setting up and troubleshooting connection problems who wouldn't mind trading some advice for whatever help you could offer them. You have some good gear there and although there are people who will give Behringer gear a bad rap, I have never experienced any problems with mine. You absolutely have to understand all your gear inside out and not try to make it do something it is not designed to do. You also have to make sure you understand the differences between balanced and unbalanced cable connections and only use good quality cables designed for each application. If you're good at soldering and understand all the theory and want to do the work you can probably buy in bulk and customize everything to your own purpose. Enjoy your new equipment.

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: hook up audio ut to audio in from mixer to computer

You just need a USB audio interface ... the outputs from your mixer are analog, which will plug into the right/left inputs on the audio interface ... and the audio interface connects to the computer via USB ... this is a very common way to do it ...

There are a lot of devices out there ... I'm using a Tapco Link.USB audio interface ... not too expensive ... you don't need anything fancy ...

Once you get the USB audio interface (by the way, if you are using a Mac you probably do not need to install any software for it) then you want to make sure your audio inputs are set to use it ... there are two ways to do this .. first way is right in the Cooledit software, if there is a place to tell the software what the input audio device is ... if this is not possible then change your systems general audio settings to select the USB audio interface for sound input.

That's it!

SOURCE: How do i hook up my new behringer pmp 5000 mixer

Passive loudspeakers are connected to the two "Speakon" connectors on the back of the unit. BUY GOOD cables for your speakers!!!! Whatever you do don't have a speaker line come loose while driving audio out !!! You will arc- out the rear-most power amp... I know, I repaired two of these now with the problem.

Connect the recording device to either the "tape OUT" RCA jacks or either of the pairs of MAIN out TRS jacks.

Set the slide switch for the MAIN L/MAIN R (upper position) leave this in this position unless you understand what the other positions are for to avoid damage. You will NOT need the other positions.

Further: Power ALL interconnect devices from the SAME receptacle source to avoid ground loops and possible damage.

YOUR passive speakers should be rated at least 300 Watts RMS continuos power handling or 600 Watts peaks.

Drive consumer stereo speakers with this and you will smoke the speakers and MAYBE blow the amp. This is a powerful amplifier and if you don't have at least 15 inch speakers you MUST really hold down the volume lest you blow the speakers.

Above all read the manual... yes, it is a bit hard to understand...

If you have a problem you can contact me by email for a bit of help. I have wo of these I have been using at venues now.

How can I connect my Peavey xr600 mixer amp to my Behringer Super-x Pro cx2310 crossover?

That depends on what you want to end up doing. You will end up patching into/out of the jacks on the front. You do not come out of the jacks on the back to the crossover.

Behringer djx700 has no bass

Check that all the eqs are set not to cut bass, check there are no effects on and that the XPQ is off. If you still have the problem how sure are you there is no bass coming from the mixer? Have you tried it with another amp? We had one hire customer who had the same problem you describe and his amp had a crossover and it was set to act as a mid/top amp and wasn't giving him any bass, unsurprisingly, switching it back to full range sorted it.

How to wire up outboard effects, poweramps to mixer. Out to sub, mains, monitors each with own poweramp, and several outboard effects, eq's, comp/lim/gate, sonic maximizer, quadraverb, crossover.

I'd need to know what mixer you have, to know if there is a [line out] connection socket and an [internal amp in] connection socket.

"each with own poweramp" I presume means the ep1500's and NOT that the speakers are active (ie containing amps)

***If any of your speakers are active, ask the question again, with more detail.***

So if all your speakers are passive, I offer the following.

I assume there is [effect send] and [effect return] on the mixer

effect send>quadraverb>effect return

mixer line out > eq > compressor > sonic maximizer > crossover

sub output of crossover> amp > sub
high output of crossover to mixer's internal amp input
mixer's speaker output > main speakers

monitor output > other side of eq (>other side of compressor if desired, but use sparingly ) > other side of sonic max if it is true stereo , otherwise skip > amp > monitors

If your mixer doesn't have an input to its internal amp, we are "back to the drawing board"
With questions like this it pays to give as much detail as possible; model and make of each component etc
I have done my best with the the info you have provided.
Don't feed amp outputs into powered speakers

HOW TO WIRE GEMINI GRAPHIC EQ 3000 TO behringer djx750 proffessional MIXER

Line level output of the mixer would go into the line level inputs of the EQ, and the EQ line level outpputs to the line level inputs of the amplifier. If you are faced with a mix of unbalanced inputs or outputs, to balanced inputs or outputs it gets a little complicated because you need to matrix the balanced signal to unbalanced load and vice versa. There is no single answer to doing this either.

RCA jacks are unbalanced, 2 conductor 1/4 inch connections are unbalanced most of the time. XLR and 3 conductor 1/4 inch jacks and plugs can be either balanced or unbalanced.If either are wired so left and right are a single ring or tip on the 3 conductor 1/4 inch jack, it is unbalanced and they would share a common ground lead. XLR wired with one pin common with shield and right and left have a single conductor on the plug or jack, that is unbalanced.

How o u hook up behringer feedback destroyer to a powered mixer

In order for this to work properly it must be inserted between the last pre-amp stage and the power amp. Can you please update this with the mixer that you are using? With the make and model of the mixer, I can provide you with a connection description. Since each mixer will have different labeling and options, it is not possible for me to accurately describe the connections without hte make and model.

Thanks,
Dan

Show me how to hook up the Behringer destroyer pro?

What are you going to hook up to?

Essentially you connect the power cord to power and connect outputs from say a mixer to the inputs using TRS balanced cables... and connect the outputs of the unit to your power amplifier.

Note taht there are MANY other possibilities using "inserts:on some devices.

Im thinking about buying a djx750 and have rokit 5 monitors. would this work? what is the best way to connect them, to have good sound? it is just for a home dj setup, all on one desk, two cd decks,...

Here is alink to the manual:http://www.behringer.com/EN/downloads/pdf/DJX750_P0956_M_EN.pdf You should have no problems hooking them up (RCA to RCA). I've been using a Behringer XenyX1222FX board in my recording system for about 4 years now and have been quite satisfied with it's reliability. Try to find a dealer who will demo the mixer for you.
