Behringer VMX1000 DJ Mixer

Agree.

 

I have used a SM58 on this model with no problems, gain about half way.

 

Strange problem, the only thing left is cable as steve has tried 2 mixers and 2 mics but only 1 cable. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/533.gif

Sounds weird right enough - a cable that boosts gain? Maybe he could patent it ;)

 

I'll follow with interest.

 

Cheers,

 

Jack.

I found the pdf with the input specs: http://www.behringerdownload.de/VMX1000/VM...SPECS_Rev_A.pdf Mic input 40dB gain balanced Phono input 40dB gain unbalanced Line in -17 to +4 db gain unbalanced The SM58 is low impedence but so are all dynamic mics (to the best of my knowledge) so I can't see what the problem is. We seem to be answering this on 2 separate threads LOL. Anyone able to take this further? Cheers, Jack.

Hi Just Joined today!! Im a mate of Ste Michell's using the same mixer VMX1000 having the same problem as steve. I have read on different forums that other people have had this problem alot with the beringer vmx1000. It seems that the gain on the mic is far too high and you have to zero it just to stop it blowing the house! Ste has the problem worse than me as he has a residency and playing club volume...i have the master at moderate volume (private functions etc) so not too bad, but still mic at zero and too loud!

Bit disapointed with this unit, we have only used it, very gently, for a couple of gigs and it has developed a hum. I have scoped this and found it to be a faulty op-amp. It is now repaired ( by me) but I thought it should be better than this. I am selling mine on. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thumbdown.gif

the VMX 1000 is what i use and i am quiet happy with the unit although u only get a good kick of sound as you hit the 9-10 mark on the faders

Well i have just recieved mine back from warrenty repair... http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif

 

And guess what... http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/fear.gif

 

They have cleaned the faders and cant find a fault... So i have plugged it in and tested it and low and behold, the cross talk is quieter, but still noticeable. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/014.gif

 

So i will road test it this weekend and see what the outcome is.

 

But the mic inputs are still very loud even when turned off... My SM58 radio mic turned down on the gain is ok, but all the other cabled mics - including some behringer ones are just too loud.

 

May have to wait until the warrenty is over until i open it up and find out why... http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/huh.gif

are you plugging the mic in with a XLR or jack ????????

 

if you are using the jack then switch to XLR and notice the diference...
