So I started with the ribbon cables attached to the channel 17-24 board, cut the glue off the connectors, and pried them off.
Behringer mx8000 cracked#
So tonight I cracked it open, expecting to see a loose ribbon cable. Since then I have fixed countless synths and samplers.Īll the while been thinking about the dead 8 channels on the mx 8000, and doing more research the last week. In the meantime, I completed my next project, and brought an emu emax II back from dead.
Behringer mx8000 how to#
I didnt even know how to use a voltmeter, but eventually I did get the psu to work! After that channels 1-16 seemed to work for the most part, but 17-24 werre dead, giving the red and green lights of death across those 8 channels. It took me a couple of months, being a complete novice, to rebuild the power supply. I thought I would teach myself electronics repair, and this was one of my first projects. The routing possibilities are huge thanks to the 8 sub-groups, 6 auxs and 24 inline inputsīased on your experience, would you buy this product again?Ībsolutely! It's one of the most comprehensive analog mixers I've seen.I bought one of these dead for 80$ a few years ago. The bar-graph is really handy, as well as the dual monitoring section Which feature do you like the most / the least? Yes, several Yamahas, Behringers and Mackies How long have you been using the product?ĭid you try any other models before buying this one? It makes much less noise than the brand's modern consoles! (I've ran some tests) I think it's a very good console with a great sound for live gigs! The bar-graph can display either the 24 mic or the 24 line inputs. I think there are over 250 I/Os on this mixer! There are inserts everywhere, triple sub-group outputs, etc.īut be careful, depending on the version, the direct outs aren't wired the same way, on the first version they are post-fader!! To sum it up: I'm very satisfied with the services this nice console has provided me.Ħ auxs (4 pots + switch between 3/4 and 5/6)Įxternal power supply in 19" 2.5U rack format I will use it very little to record or mix. I would certainly buy it again.Īlthough I will soon switch to a PC-based setup ( Motu 24 I/O + Cubase 4), I'll keep my console around to write songs, as a "mixer" for my rack gear and when my friends come over to jam.

But I needed more channels.Įxceptional value for money (in my particular case). I love the number of channels and the ultra-comprehensive configuration possibilities. One channel doesn't work anymore and 2 or 3 faders have issues. I bought it secondhand and have been using it for 7/8 years. Personally, I use the mixer's EQ for backup vocals and use specific rack gear for the main vocals. Fortunately, thanks to the flexible routing, you can get round the problem processing the signal with a real EQ. Equalizer? Really? There's an EQ: Without a doubt its weakest point. It can be exhausting to adjust a send/effect, for example. The preamps are noisy when you crank up the level. This is where you start understanding the price. Personally, I have a lot of fun routing the direct outs to other tracks. And inserts and direct outs on every channel.

I use it in my home studio to record and mix together with an Akai DtD. Truly impressive connection options for the price. Nothing to add to what has been said already.
Behringer mx8000 pro#
It's a real delight.Ī real pro would want and can certainly pay more!!! Would I buy it again? Yes, I would!!! Unbeatable value for money!!!įor an amateur home studio. Neutral sound, routing possibilities that even some "big" consoles don't have, the faders lack "stiffness" on mine (they feel cheap). No noise (I tested it with a Neumann as overhead mic.Which I could NEVER afford!!!). I have nothing much to say in this regard, except that the faders on mine feel way too smooth, I would've preferred them to offer a little more resistance. Very easy to use (if you have the manual). It has all the features of a big console (which rarely have effects!). You can read the features on Apart from the fact that it doesn't have any effects (which doesn't bother me much, since I play drums). I went this weekend to Germany to get it. I'll be the first to write in this section.
