newbie question: Behringer mixers, headphone out
Hello,
I'm interested in buying a mixer for use in a home recording studio. I'm considering buying a non-powered mixer (such as one of the Behringer Eurorack series or a Mackie) for monitoring and playback, and to use the mic pre's that are found in many such mixers for recording occasionally. I have M-Audio Studiophile reference monitors for normal playback, but sometimes I'll want to plug in headphones for discrete playback and monitoring (those of you with kids should understand :-)). My question is this: would I need anything aside from the mixer and a set of headphones to pull this off (eg., would I need a power amp of some sort to boost the headphones' level)? I should add that I'm working within a tight budget, hence my consideration of Behringer mixers. I have read some of the battles that have been waged on this newsgroup and others about Behringer mixers; I'm not attempting to renew any of those. But any advice any of y'all might have about what to look for and what to avoid would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

My question is this: would I need anything aside from the mixer and a set of headphones to pull this off (eg., would I need a power amp of some sort to boost the headphones' level)? Short answer: No. The mixer amplifies the signal to headphone level. That's why you have both line outs and headphone outs from things like mixers, portable CD players, etc. |

Do yourself a favour and find a used or new Mackie (perhaps a 1202 VLZ for
$175 US) and avoid the Behringers. Ron Charles "avicenna" wrote in message om... Hello, I'm interested in buying a mixer for use in a home recording studio.
