Tengo conectados los micrófonos de la bateria y de este a la mesa de mezclas grande. Estupendo

I use this as a mono summing box. I’m using a high quality DJ mixer with RCA outs, with unbalanced 1/4 TS adapters to my crossover. I use 2 amps, one high, one sub. I send a R unbalanced TS and a L unbalanced TS to the top (high) amp, BUT, I use this little mixer to take the R/L unbalanced 1/4 TS connectors to a single Mono TS out into my bottom (low/sub) amp- which is mono-bridged. So, I have stereo above 400Khz to my 2 ways and mono to my subs. It works fabulously, as in mono bridged mode my bottom amp works about the same, but with a bridged-mono ‘push/pull’ mode that makes the subs hit harder.

As a side note, I understood this little mixer to be attenuating ONLY… That’s not exactly right. The potentiometers move from 0-10, and there IS some line-level gain over the setting of 5. Setting 6 and above will result in a gain ‘hum’ that isn’t there absent this mixer… at least it does in my setup. Turning the pots down to 5 eliminated the hum and worked as a perfect summing box. If anybody has an oscillator, I’d live to see exactly where I can tune the pots to the exact line level to neither attenuate nor gain.

Anyway, I’m VERY happy with this purchase, and the unit is made with high quality material and the pots are high quality. Ordering and shipping were typical of good quality Amazon service.

Behringer è sempre una sicurezza…!!!
piccolissimo… superleggero…ottima funzionalità e con rumore di fondo quasi assente..( se usato con buona cavetteria )..
Da consigliare.. prezzo imbattibile.

This is a great little mixer. It's tough (I already dropped it 3 feet onto a wood floor, no damage), and it's quiet.

To save you looking it up, the nominal input impedance is 4.7K, the output impedance 80 ohms. This will match up with pretty much any other electronic amps, mixers, or strange boxes you might put downstream. Note that with solid state components "impedance matching" is not something you shoot for. What you want is low impedance outputs feeding high impedance inputs, which is referred to as bridging. In this context "high" usually means kilohms rather than megohms.

Those who speak of noise problems might do well to check their connections, especially the way their shielding and/or grounding are arranged. Not just in this mixer, but all tiny-black-chip electronic components are virtually noise and distortion free in audio applications. It's the nature of the beast. You might want to check my own note 2 below: this is a line level mixer.

But note two points:

1. It's mono, not stereo.

2. This is a line-level mixer, and "line" means a nominal one volt. "Nominal" because the voltage actually varies all over the place, but one volt is the planning number. Generally, most things that plug into the wall, or are battery powered output line level, even if by another name. This includes most headphone outputs, including those on keyboards--though of course I don't know about your equipment specifically.

Importantly, this is not a preamp, not an amp, and most certainly not a microphone amplifier. Most mixers have a small amount of gain built in and the MX400 is no exception, but it's not nearly the gain most mics require. If a mic all by itself does happen to work with this or any line-level mixer that's fine, but it's just luck.

Used for what it is, a tough, quiet, inexpensive, no-frills line-level mixer, this thing shines. No wonder they can't keep them on the shelves.

Llegó super rápido y es un excelente producto. No mete nada de ruido ya que tiene su eliminador en vez de conectarse con cable USB como otras y la verdad con este bajo costo pude ampliar 4 canales de línea a mi mixer digital. Fabuloso producto.

I use the 4 channel mixer to connect 4 microphones during my karaoke singing programs. This mixer from Behringer is quite sturdy, offers good volume control for the individual microphones. It is useful as an intermediate amplifier too, as described by the company itself. Of course when we increase the volume close to the maximum, there is a resulting hideous sound. But this is also mentioned by the Company. Would I buy this product again ? Absolutely yes ! Within its working range, this mixer performs amazingly well in addition to being compact and convenient to use. Good wishes

I needed something that would allow me to connect multiple instruments to my Boss RC-1 looper pedal so I could layer them all on the same pedal through the same amp. I've bought a few Behringer guitar pedals before, and I've had mixed feelings about them. They were really cheep and sounded good enough, but were made of flimsy plastic. This mixer is a different story. The housing is metal and everything feels sturdy, very impressive.
Basically, the mixer has 4 mono 1/4 size input jacks and 1 mono 1/4 size output jack. It requires a 12v power adaptor, but it comes with one, which is really nice. The included power adapter did feel a little flimsy, but it works fine and only takes up one outlet space. Setup was easy, I was able to connect my drum machine, synthesizer, guitar, and bass, to the mixer. I do wish that the input jacks were more spaced out though. Really, the only cables that are going to fit are ones with straight connectors. I had a lot of trouble with my right angle patch cables, they didn't fit. I made it work, luckily I had some straight cables.
The mixer works really well, sounds good, etc. I do wish it had a power switch, it's a little annoying having to unplug it every time I want to turn it off, but I can't argue with the price and build quality.
I did notice that my guitar and bass sounded really nasty when I turned the volume knobs on the mixer up past 50%, but that may have just been the nature of the instruments and the presets on other gear in my setup. Those instruments sounded fine when the mixer knobs were kept low and other volume knobs elsewhere were turned up.
Overall, Behringer really outdid themselves with this little mixer. The price is unbeatable and it works just as expected. It's really great to have this tiny thing I can stick onto the side of my pedal board instead of having to use a huge mixer board. Definitely would recommend.
