can someone suggest a live sound mixer?
can someone suggest a live sound mixer? Posted on: 29.12.2009 by Wendolyn Glikman I really appreciate some help. Sorry for the long post.I am looking for a mixer with multiple outputs, one being dedicated sub output. I did some reading and research and I believe I just want to kill myself now... For simplicity, lets just say that I have four amps (don't really need to go in to the speakers) two amps for full range (these amps do have line out) one amp for midbass / highs (no line out) one amp for subwoofer (no line out) I got everything together now, but I would like to improve on it. The two things I don't like are: 1. RCA cables are used for the source (then, TRS and XLR from amps one and two to amps three and four) 2. No electronic crossover. I would like to have a mixer that has multiple outputs, preferrably all TRS / XLR, and at least one dedicated sub out or the ability to do an active crossover. Does this make sense? So, the outputs would be something like this: (XLR or TRS) one stereo or two mono full range one stereo or two mono high pass one mono sub TIA! | |

| Wendolyn Glikman 30.12.2009 | Oh, where I am right now, I have no need to input audio in to my laptop, I only need output. |
| Wendolyn Glikman 30.12.2009 | good question. I guess that all depends on what all I need to get. The Behringer BC DJ controller I have now is on loan from a friend. (I had been using my laptops headphones out to a gemini "DJ" mixer, then RCA out from the mixer to my amps. The VMX1000 is only $199. And the Behringer BC DJ controllers (2000 or 3000) are only $150 to $199. And they can basically assume the role of a sound card (USB in, RCA out), correct? So, for $400 but I will be set. Unless I am missing something. Thanks again, BTW... |
| Random X 30.12.2009 | What budget are you talking about... How much would you like to spend on the mixer? |
| Wendolyn Glikman 30.12.2009 | Actually, I don't even currently use the Behringer BC DJ controller, (I use internal traktor mixer), or CD players, so the preferred thing I would want would be something like a sound card with USB in and SUB out. Problem is, I check the stores and there are like 100 different choices...WTF? sound cards, dj mixers, pro sound mixers, converter boxes... I need to get the signal from my laptop to all my amps and I want balanced and not unbalanced. That is why I thought that the VMX1000 seems logical (and cheap). Good for future expansion. If I didn't use the Behringer BC DJ controller I could just use any old cheap USB to RCA soundcard. So is there something out there like the VMX1000 that has USB in and sub out so I can have one stop shopping? or should I just forget about that get a cheap sound card? I have seen plenty of mixers with USB in, but not with USB in and Sub out. Thanks again! |
| Delila Vandommelen 30.12.2009 | @Req : the bpm detection in their more recent ddm4000 seems to be pretty decent (and the effects are synced by default). Overall it seems to be their best mixer by far. |

I am believeing about this: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/VMX1000.aspx PC to Behringer BC DJ controller to the VMX1000 then to all my amps. I can also hook up two MIC's, two CD players and an MP3 player to the VMX1000. |
