Behringer or ?
A friend has asked me to build a 'portable' DJ system similar to one I built
for myself (which y'all are probably tired of my raving about). A question about amp & mp3 players: Any opinions on Behringer equipment? I'm quite satisfied with my current car amp and HU, but y'all have me wondering how much better a 'real' amp will sound. I'd kinda like to keep the HU. The system will run off a quality AC generator, or when available, house current. TIA Joe Arnold - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Easy's getting harder everyday |

It's certainly far better than most typical 'DJ' equipment. Graham |

Thanks Graham I think my next consideration will be a small mixer - 2 mics, 2 line level/tape in. Will the smallest Behringer serve ok? It'll just be to announce songs, etc., and possibly a decent CD player. Through this entire project I've tried to remind myself this isn't for critical listening. ;-) |

However their smallest mixer has only one mic input, so you will want the UB802, or new Xenix802. MrT. |

I just got a Behringer active crossover. It is made for pro audio XLR, but I
am using it with single ended RCA connectors and home stereo equipment. So far, I'm smiling a lot. I like it! James. ) "PanHandler" wrote in message . ..

Either get some XLR male and female ends or get some mic cables and cut them
in half. You will need 2 males for inputs and 4 females for outputs. input: tip of RCA to pin 2 of the XLR shield of RCA to pin 1 and 3 of XLR output: tip of RCA to pin 2 of the XLR shield of RCA to pin 1 of XLR (leave pin 3 floating) The above wiring scheme was posted to this group by Walt, some time ago. It works fine. There is actually enough gain on the input side to compensate for the smaller signal coming from an RCA line level. It's really neat to be able to sweep the center freq around with a twist of a knob! James. ) wrote in message oups.com... James Lehman wrote: I just got a Behringer active crossover.

It's usually cheaper and easier to just use phone/RCA adapters plugged into the TRS sockets. Most Behringer gear has these wired in parallel with the XLR's. I can't say in this particular case as I don't see a model number mentioned? MrT. |
