What would be the best way to get a balanced output? Use an XLR combiner cable or? We currently have a balanced TRS output from our old mixer.

Either the XLR or TRS offers a balanced output. This baby is pretty versatile for our small group, so we raraly haul out our bigger mixer board anymore

This mixer uses XLR for main outputs but also has balanced TRS outputs for control room outs and Aux sends. If you can't solder your own XLR connectors you could buy a couple of these: Hosa GXJ-183 Balanced 1/4 - Inch Female to XLR Female Adaptor

Oh, that's another matter altogether. So you have a single 1/4" stereo (which would actually be unbalanced) connector? If that's the case then you'd be looking for something like this Hosa YPR-257 Stereo Breakout Cable, 1/4 in. TRSF to Dual RCA which would connect to the 2-wire unbalanced stereo output.

The Behringer mixer has balanced left and right xlr line outputs. If you need 1/4 inch trs outputs, just use a male xlr to trs cable.

You most likely need trs cables. XLR cables are generally used for microphones.

You can but remember 2 things. If you use the XLR you will have a mono mix meaning everything will sound the same in your ear. If you use the monitor input and use a 1/4 inch to stereo 1/4 inch female and take 2 1/4 inch output cables from 2 auxes from the mixer, you would also have the possibility of panning the instruments left and right in your headphone. This also depends on the mixer you are using if it has that possibility.

There is only 1 XLR input, The other inputs would require a mic pre-amp unless your mics can generate a line level signal (some do)

I do not know exactly why but there are some ideas that you already probably thought of...: . make sure you have the local levels on the mixer turned up when using the 1/4 inch jacks . ensure the XLR and microphone actually work by trying an amplifier that accept XLR directly...if you don't have access to one, you could probably get a music store (like a guitar center) to let you test your mic out. . some 1/4 inch jacks are MONO and some STEREO. maybe try a XLR&gt;1/4 inch adapter that is the oposite of what you are trying...again a music store should be willing to let you try because you might buy! . another weird test would be to plug the XLR&gt;1/4 inch adpater into a 1/4 inch &gt; mini adapter and plug that into you computer or other device that accepts that kind of microphone jack just to see if that works...(this is a real dumb idea...but worth a fry?) other that that, you would need to write the manufacturers of the mixer and the XLR&gt;1/4 inch adapters to try to figure out what the heck is going on??? Maybe someone else will read this and come up with an answer from actual experience...good luck!

i believe these mics come soldered with pins 1&3 together, which makes it unbalance. To make it a balance signal you will have to unsolder pins 1&3 Which can be done fairly easy.

You don't get something from nothing. The original output form the microphone is a dual mono out. This adapter merely allows you to plug it into an XLR input. It will never be a truly balanced connection, because a balanced connection requires two signal lines instead of one. But his doesn't automatically mean you can't do it. It only means that it will behave as an unbalanced connection. In this situation you might consider running you mic into an inexpensive mixer, probably using this adapter. You can get 4-channel mixers for under $50. Then take a line level signal from the mixer and run it the 150' into your camera. Remember to go to your camera's menu and reset the audio input from mic level to line level. Then you should have a much cleaner signal, especially if your mixer and camera are communicating with each other via a balanced connection.

I have it running through a Mackie powered mixer and that is the best way so that you can adjust the settings for the beat sound. microphone cables bought separately.

I personally think there are much better options for connecting your audio source to the house mixer. The mic input on this unit is XLR, so I'm not sure how it could work. The 1/4" monitor input does not transfer through the same XLR channel output only the headphone output. I'm a big fan of most Behringer products, but not this one. Look at the Radial Pro AV or similar DI box. Good luck!

The output from your mixer should go to the mic or line input jack. The link output is to daisy chain to another monitor.

I haven't used mine in such a manner, so I'm not sure. However, it doesn't sound logical. If you use an external mixer,you might wind up with an analog signal, depending on the mixer type. Sorry I couldn't help.

I use High Performance OFC connecting cables-2 TRS on one side the other XLR's which I made up! Guitar cables are Great! Your ears will pick up the Difference..I connect the XLR's to a power amp then out into the Virtualizer pro DSP2024P-Preset settings on the Virtualizer: I:O73 TUBE AMP! This Creates a Giant Stereo Smack with Clarity = MID BASS & TREBLE & the Levels are Way up to 0.5db & of coarse the CD recorder to lift the Levels to that Mark. I hope this was helpful to complete your Music Workmenship, God Bless ya Bruce & have a Great Week.

The previous responder gave good advice. Quality of the audio cable between the mixer and the speaker is the most likely issue, assuming the "noise" you refer to is 60 Hz hum. The best defense against that is to use a balanced output from the mixer, connected with professional grade XLR cable and connectors. Unbalanced phone plug style cables are generally worse and should be avoided if you want to eliminate hum.

Hi, this unit does not "mix" the inputs via the USB input and it does not do so via the headphone/line outs. You can blend the two input sources in your recording software if it has the ability to select the input source from either left or right on each track. If your software records both tracks at once (stereo) you can still blend them using the balance control.More succinctly, you can't mix or blend these two inputs to one discreet channel either left or right from the device itself. This would be something you would do within your recording software.

Not so fast on that conclusion... an XLR connection doesn't necessarily mean a balanced mic. It's unlikely that a 600 ohm mic is balanced. It will probably work on a short cable if there's no radio source around. Just because it has three contacts doesn't mean that it's using them all.

Rock out!!!!Best solution would be to connect the computer into the mixer feeding the monitors then it is no different from any other source. If you are connecting directly to the computer headphone jack just be careful not to send too hot of a signal - if you hear any distortion at all then turn down the volume on the computer - and you will be fine.
