I bought this mixer, but somehow the microphone connector XLR Female to 1/4inch TRS Male 16AWG not working. I don't know what specs i shud look at.

Is it possible that it is the problem of your microphone, which may be tried to other equipment to see if it works. I used to purchase a new microphone which did not work only after being used once and it was no sound when I plugged in and had no idea what was going on. and check to make sure if every function knobs have been turned on. good luck

I do not know exactly why but there are some ideas that you already probably thought of...: . make sure you have the local levels on the mixer turned up when using the 1/4 inch jacks . ensure the XLR and microphone actually work by trying an amplifier that accept XLR directly...if you don't have access to one, you could probably get a music store (like a guitar center) to let you test your mic out. . some 1/4 inch jacks are MONO and some STEREO. maybe try a XLR&gt;1/4 inch adapter that is the oposite of what you are trying...again a music store should be willing to let you try because you might buy! . another weird test would be to plug the XLR&gt;1/4 inch adpater into a 1/4 inch &gt; mini adapter and plug that into you computer or other device that accepts that kind of microphone jack just to see if that works...(this is a real dumb idea...but worth a fry?) other that that, you would need to write the manufacturers of the mixer and the XLR&gt;1/4 inch adapters to try to figure out what the heck is going on??? Maybe someone else will read this and come up with an answer from actual experience...good luck!

I personally think there are much better options for connecting your audio source to the house mixer. The mic input on this unit is XLR, so I'm not sure how it could work. The 1/4" monitor input does not transfer through the same XLR channel output only the headphone output. I'm a big fan of most Behringer products, but not this one. Look at the Radial Pro AV or similar DI box. Good luck!

You have to buy a mic cable that has an XLR female connector on the end that plugs into the bottom of the mic and the other end has to be compatible with the type of jack on your amp. Some amps have a 1/4" jack and others have an XLR female jack. Find out what kind of jack is on your amp. You may have to use a mixer between the mic and amp also. That is determined by what type of amp it is. You may have to go to a music store to get some answers.

I'm a little confused by the statement "same input and output"--so I will try to answer best I can. The input and output jacks are male and female, one goes to mic and other goes to the mixer/sound board. I'm mostly assuming the input/output question is that the cable has the same voltage/impedence throughout. I have been buying adapters that up the power as well as go to a 1/4 inch jack. My four track recorder does not have phantom power (to power the mic) so the low-z to high-z adapter is my way of powering the mic. Hope that makes sense and answers the question.

I use mine between the headphone output of my mixer - to lower the amplitude for the input - and the mic input of my Zi8 Kodak HD video camera with a 20 foot TRS cable extension, and post music video to youtube. You can check out the quality. The best example is probably under Brian Terhorst - cover of Fire and Rain

No you can't. This has a male XLR connector. Microphones have male XLR connectors. You need a cable with a female XLR. Remember that for XLR connectors the pins point where the sound is going.

It's not XLR but Speakon which is a locking type of 1/4 inch connectionYour mixer has to have a Speakon connection on it or your speaker cabinet.

Not directly. There is one XLR input for a microphone, and the other inputs are RCA-style, not 1/4" plugs used for instruments or some microphones. Also, phantom power is only provided though the XLR input, so only one non-self powered microphone will work with the mixer.

It didn't work with mine. It's not a very good product. Plus it's old. I'm sure a new better microphone product has been released since.

I am not sure but there is an auxiliary input, so maybe that is where you would use the mixer. Best guess.

Oops?! Are you asking about input? Out output? Input, you have many options! 1/4", the xy built in mics, or a mixture of both. As for adapters for an xlr> 1/4" for the input, the radio shack near me has them and it works fine... For the output, there is an 1/8" (headphone) jack used for monitoring as well as an external speaker. I hope that this helps?!

Make sure it comes with right connector. (4-Pin ??) You'll need to put a battery in the microphone as well.

This is a standard xlr connector on mic. Standard xlr cables will work. If you need a 1/4" input you can get a xlr to 1/4" adapter/transformer which will impedence match the 2 connections.

I used this about 2 years ago and from what I remember I needed to connect 2 XLR mics to a stereo camcorder mic input. This is the the not the "correct" way to do this properly. The "proper" solution is more complicated and much more expensive. XLR mics are "Balanced" mics and in theory when used properly they minimize or eliminate the unwanted 60 Hz hum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

This mic requires phantom power from a mixer board. Will not work without phantom power. There are some external phantom power boxes you can purchase that are not expensive.

I don't now if you can get pre made adapters for it.i don't remember if it is strictly microphone type input or if it has 1/4 in inputs.. if it has 1/4 in inputs you can more than likely get adapters for it... good luck

I don't know much about that mixer, having said that, as long as the mixer has either xlr or 1/4 inch master left and right out it should work.
