How do I connect my laptop to this mixer?
335073
As far as I know, the only ways to connect a laptop is out the headphone jack into 1/4" or XLR and use 2 channels panned left and right or out of your USB into a gigaport or some other sound card and then into the channels on the mixer. The USB input on the mixer is only for playing music directly from a flash drive or external drive. I have not worked with it enough to know if there are other options. I hope that helps.

you can do this a couple of different ways. the first time i went to someplace that made chords. find a chord that has a 1/4 inch plug on one end and a plug that will fit into your headphone jack. plug the 1/4 inch into the mixer at a mic connection, the other into the the headphone connector. we did that but found there were background noise so we purchased a item that filters out those noises and cb radios. connect your computer from the headphone plug into this item and then get a regular mic chord and connect it to the device also and then into a mic connector. this gives us the best and clearest music from our computer. hope this helped. may God bless and BE BLESSED you can do this a couple of different ways. the first time i went to someplace that made chords. find a chord that has a 1/4 inch plug on one end and a plug that will fit into your headphone jack. plug the 1/4 inch into the mixer at a mic connection, the other into the the headphone connector. we did that but found there were background noise so we purchased a item that filters out those noises and cb radios. connect your computer from the headphone plug into this item and then get a regular mic chord and connect it to the device also and then into a mic connector. this gives us the best... » Read More you can do this a couple of different ways. the first time i went to someplace that made chords. find a chord that has a 1/4 inch plug on one end and a plug that will fit into your headphone jack. plug the 1/4 inch into the mixer at a mic connection, the other into the the headphone connector. we did that but found there were background noise so we purchased a item that filters out those noises and cb radios. connect your computer from the headphone plug into this item and then get a regular mic chord and connect it to the device also and then into a mic connector. this gives us the best and clearest music from our computer. hope this helped. may God bless and BE BLESSED « Show Less

Download the driver from this website http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/Q802USB.aspx Once you had it, connect your mixer to the USB port on your computer and install the driver. (the mixer needs to be plugged in when installing the driver) Your computer should recognize the mixer after installing the drive. Good luck!

Well with my setup I use an XLR chord (a mic chord) to connect to the interface (your Focusrite) which connects to the computer via Firewire or USB

Well you would need to first hook it up to a receiver and then get a left/right male aux to male aux and plug it into your laptop.

You might want to invest in a USB mixing board. Then you plug your mic into this unit, plug the output into the mixing board and then connect the mixing board to your computer.

Ya man, Use adapters if you can't find a patch cable that goes from 3mm to 1/4". The trick is to make sure both are in stereo or mono. I run my laptop into a multi band equalizer/pre amp and then to mixer or amp.

You have to hook up the line out from wireless mic receiver into the mic input on the mixer

Yes you can connect this. It might be easier to simply plug the mixer directly into the speakers though, since the MG166CXUSB has line/speaker jacks.

You can use a stereo 3.5 mm to a Stereo 1/4" cable. Plug it into the send 1/4" jack on the amp with the other end, 3.5mm into the output of the laptop and put the Aux/Effects button to Aux(Up). The Aux control knob will control the volume. You cannot use the Effects with the Send with the Aux/Effects button up. If you want to use two channels of the mixer you must have a cable with a 3.5 mm stereo "Y 'd" to 2 1/4" mono plugs. Y 'd means 2 two conductor cables, one cable connected to the left if the 3.5mm plug and the other cable connected to the right of the 3.5mm plug.

You will need some kind of audio software. This is not a standalone hardware piece you can simply plug into a mixer, it is an audio interface that must be plugged into a computer.

As with any computer, we recommend using a USB interface of some sort to convert your audio from digital to analog and buffer out any level or impedance issues associated with coming directly our of the headphone jack. The Technical Pro USB2RCA would do the job, then you can use RCA or RCA to 1/4" cables to connect to the mixer and have a line level signal to start with.

A USB mixer works fine with my set up and yes I have used it that way you explained it works

I use a small mixer for the connection between the Line out on PC to XLR in of the RP8G2's.

Hi Gloria, I don't have any "top-of-the-line" keyboard, however, when I tried to get hook up my keyboard to it and run the mixer to the laptop I didn't hear a thing through the system or the main mix/phones on the mixer. I'm guessing you may need a Direct Input (DI) Box to pass the keyboard through first before routing to the mixer. Other than that, yes you should be able to do what you thinking of doing.Hope this helps. :)

Sorry, please ignore the yes in my previous reply. I accidentally click on the yes button. You need to connect the mixer into the receiver which is used for the microphone. You also need to select which option works with the microphone (e.g. CD/Audio, TV, Phone, etc).

you have to use a y cable and connect the mixer just below the output jack.One your mixer red and white speaker output
