WHAT CABELS COME WITH THE BEHRINGER XENYX X1204USB MANUAL
20 behringer xenyx x1204usb manual wrote, the xenyx mixer line has built-in usb connectivity, allowing stereo signals to be sent to and from the mixer and a computer. Plug your XLR mic into Input one (the XLR one) Turn the gain at the top of the channel strip up to about 3 o'clock. The xenyx x1204usb from behringer is a 12-channel audio mixer with an integrated usb computer audio interface. When you say "no sound" what are you using to judge that? The USB input to your computer, the meters on the mixer, the headphone socket on the mixer or what? The 1204 has a few potential funnies in terms of signal routing so, depending on what you're getting, you may be a button push away from success. Turn it off at the mixer and forget about it.ĭave knows that I'm also a fan of having a multimeter-even a cheap one, not just a Fluke-around but I'm not sure this is a case were a meter is the first port of call.

The ATR2100 is a dynamic mic so phantom power isn't part of your problem.

I have watched some tutorial videos on YouTube and I can't find anything obvious that I am doing wrong but maybe someone else has some suggestions? Or can give me some confidence that it actually is likely a hardware problem? It's possible I'm seeing multiple hardware failures in either the cables (the Shure mic didn't actually come with an XLR cable while the two ATR2100's did) or the mixers, but as I have no experience using a mixer, I'm also concerned that maybe I'm just doing something really foolish and that's why it's not working. To help narrow things down, I purchased a Shure PG48 mic so I could try that and I ran into the exact same issue with the microphone. I figured that the odds of both units having the same problem were pretty small, but the only other options were that both microphones had the same problem, both XLR cables had the same problem or I was doing something wrong. When I hooked the new unit up I found that I ran in to the exact same problem. So I returned the mixer to Amazon and they shipped me a replacement unit. I wrote to Behringer support and they said that the problem was likely with the phantom power section of the mixer and they said "the issue will more than likely be with the phantom power section of the X1204USB and it would be recommended to have the unit exchanged with your retailer as soon as possible." I confirmed that the mics worked just fine when plugged in via USB (with the power light coming on instantly when connected, but not when plugged in the mixer. When I set everything up and plugged in the mics, I found that while the +48v light came on when the phantom power switch was turned on, the mics themselves received no power. I recently purchased a XENYX X1204 mixer along with a couple of Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB microphones (these mics can connect via USB or XLR cable).
