Question about a mixer
Question about a mixer Posted on: 20.05.2013 by Nga Mcquarter Hi there! Well, I've been looking to buy a 4-Channel Mixer lately and the one that surprised me was the Behringer NOX606 (I know, I know, Behringer uses to be shit). It has 4-EQs, two mics, FXs... There are a few questions I had about it:1. How does the USB soundcard work? Can you run each channel of your software like Traktor into each channel on the NOX606 or you can only output the sound from the computer to one channel? 2. Can you hook an effects module? like the Kaoss pad 3 or the RMX1000 3. Is the 4-band EQ very different than the 3-band EQ? I've seen it in the Allen & Heath's ones and people say it's awesome, but in a Behringer Mixer? whatever. 4. If you had to chose between the Behringer NOX606 and the American Audio 14MXR, which one would you pick? I saw the American Audio for 250 | |

Only SUPER expensive mixers have a built in interface. The good news is, we were just talking about a great (cheap!) audio interface that will do the job perfectly: http://www.esi-audio.com/products/maya44usb+/ It can be had for around |

If you're looking to do external mixing, the X1100 might be ideal (the X500 is nearly the same thing in a rackmount form factor). The X1600 adds internal effects, and the X1700 adds MIDI and DA converters, but these get expensive quickly. I have no experience with the Behringer products, but have been really happy with my Denon. Denon mixers seem to provide a great compromise between the low cost of American Audio, Behringer, etc. and the high quality of Allen and Heath, Pioneer, etc. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 22.05.2013 | Xone92 and Xone DB4 are quite different. That's analog vs digital (although the DB4 is supposed to be amazing, not that the 92 isnt). 606 vs 4K they look extremely similar on the spec sheet. I couldn't tell the difference without comparing them one line at a time. The Gigaport could work, but I'd recommend getting an NI Audio 8. |
| Nga Mcquarter 22.05.2013 | Hey sorry one last help please!! I've seen this interface you said, but it's only 4in4out, so I could only use 2 channels, right? Is there any interface that has 8 outputs? EDIT: No worries, I found another one from the same firm (ESI Gigaport HD+). Do you know if it's cool? |

| Nga Mcquarter 21.05.2013 | Thanksssss a lot!!!! Btw now that i've found this: what would you pick? Nox606 or DDM4000? Thanks again! |

All channels have got 2 (TWO!) sends. 3. Yes. 4-band eq's are very different to 3-band eq's. A whole eq different. 4. NOX 606 every day of the week. That AA mixer is Fugly, man, and you'll have MUCH MORE fun with the 606. |
