Set-up for Behringer Xenyx 802 with EQs

[Mejnour]

Hello,

I did purchased this tool. I want to do test with a standard old audio tape...

I never use mixer table and I look like a kid when I am looking the deck...

First I did use the CD/Tape stereo INPUT/OUTPUT cables (with a headphone in the phones jack hoping to heard some difference when playing with buttons) but then I noticed that EQ high-mid-low have no effect on audio....

Now I have the impression that I must used the 3/4 level column to capture audio to my computer?

Meaning that I nead 1/4" TRS headphons connectors that will match my stereo RCA cables?

THanks for you light

Some mixer boards only use EQ on 1/4" stereo inputs. The RCA inputs can only use gain and fade.

1/4-to-RCA cables are readily available at many electronics stores, as well as many music/guitar stores.
For example, Amazon sells a cable for $6 total: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B000TTHVYK

... although that RCA wire looks rather flimsy and unshielded. Therefore...

This $7 non-wired adapter may be better: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B002JDVBYU
The only problem may be if it fits properly against the board.

I realize you may not be in USA, and may not buy from Amazon.com, but you get the idea. Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.at, etc -- lots of Amazons have them for low cost, in addition to the aforementioned local/online electronics and music stores. Just look around, get an adapter, and you'll be fine.

It is better to buy the cable, like this:

But, at least, I suggest you to buy 2 x these (you will find the need to use them in other situations too, studying your mixer further):

(they are working better then Y-like items, you will have more possibilities to use it!)

Are you sure those are not mono plugs? (Looks like it to me.)

[Acden]

Surely there are mono, and it what is needed for him. Because he uses two RCA outputs from tape deck.


He should use them on 3/4 or 5/6 channel strip.

Yeah, I must be tired. Looking at the board (instead of going off memory like I was), you're right.

It's about that time of day for me -- time to step away from the computer.
