mics not working right
« on: November 09, 2015, 01:50:10 PM »

hello I have a Behringer xl2400 mixer and am using 2 Shure 58 betas and 2 shure 87 betas going through it as well as a few guitars. the guitars are going through fine, but the mics are super quiet. I am using the phantom power for the 87 betas not sure what else could be the problem

How are the input gains set? The 58s, 87s, and guitars will all come to the board at widely different levels, you need to adjust the input trim to get them to the level you need to be able to mix them easily.

Pay attention to video #9, "Guide to Mixing: Setting up a basic mix."

These videos are by Soundcraft, so use Soundcraft equipment, but the concepts presented are valid for all manufacturers' products.
