There was recently some discussion here about the line level inputs on
the small Behringer mixers, specifically the 802, and whether they use
the mic preamps or bypass them completely. I haven't been able to find
an answer to this. Anyone know for sure how they route the signal?

Since the stereo channels don't have mic preamps, it seems like it would be
quite obvious that their line inputs don't bypass any mic preamps, since
there are no mic preamps to bypass.

You may be thinking about the two mono channels with mic preamps. Typically
low and mid-end mixer line inputs don't bypass a given mixing channel's mic
preamps when that mixing channel has mic preamps. This is true of the
Behringer and Mackie mixers for which detailed block diagrams are available,
for example.


maybe the original poster is referring to an older discussion where it
was mentioned that you should use the AUX1/2 returns if you want to
bypass the input sections of the stereo channels.

.... and: what is "mid-end" :-)
