Will the test tone generate from all outputs, or just XLR? Is it easy to switch between 1kHz and 440Hz?

I haven't had the occasion to use it on tone mode. I have only used it so far to bench test newly made up cables and to check problem ones with the light tree. Has been spot on so far. Much quicker than metering!

You simply press a button that toggles between 1kHz and 440Hz - easy as cake. I've only ever used it to test from the XLR output, but when I get a chance later today I'll test it out. Edit: The test tone does indeed generate from all outputs!

At the very least, the Beachtek provides what amounts to a "Y", giving you two XLR inputs plus an aux. In addition, it gives you the ability to vary the volume of those inputs independently. I can't recommend it too highly.

Wow, the same thing happened to me, and yes, it is in the manual! Hold the tuning "up" (+) button while turning on the power, and it will switch from the European (9kHz) to the U.S. (10 kHz), which sets it back to 580, 590, 600, etc., rather than the off numbers. Best 10 minutes I ever spent on the internets!

This mixer uses XLR for main outputs but also has balanced TRS outputs for control room outs and Aux sends. If you can't solder your own XLR connectors you could buy a couple of these: amazon.com/dp/B000068O4C/

The Behringer mixer has balanced left and right xlr line outputs. If you need 1/4 inch trs outputs, just use a male xlr to trs cable.

Set the crossover on amp to HPF (high pass filter) and dial crossover to about 120hz

It displays the input frequency graph in real time. So if there is a very high note, at a high output level, you will see that on the graph. Likewise for the rest of the spectrum. It looks similar to what you might see using audio programs like foobar, and such, on your PC. Basically a spectral display of what the input audio is, in relation to frequency vs. total quantity per frequency range. It appears to be based on the input purely, like most EQ's, so it's more of a pretty picture than something you would use purely for tuning your soundstage. For that, a proper SPL meter, and tone CD designed for setting up an EQ, is necessary. The old fashioned way still works the best. EQ's like this use it for more of a light show, and fancy looking effect, though it could be useful if you don't have the mentioned tools, and want to tweak your sound by ear. I could post a short video of it in action, but downloading a free copy of foobar, and looking at the EQ option, would give you a similar idea of what to expect. It basically just shows the input frequency amplitude based on the HZ, or kHZ range.

I just installed the v1.4 beta driver on my 64-bit Windows 8.1 laptop, and playback of 24-bit, 192 kHz files is working beautifully (I'm currently listening to Kind of Blue from HDTracks). I have a concert to record this Thursday, so hopefully the A-to-D side is working well also. I use external mic pre-amps and just run balanced "Hi-Z" into the E-MU for recording, so I don't anticipate any problems there.

It really doesn't matter, both will work. However the other answer does make a point. Getting a 3.5mm to dual 1/4 cable is more direct (assuming that you are splitting the signal out to 2 speakers) because XLR is always balanced and 1/4 can be balanced or unbalanced, which is what happens when a stereo signal is ran on a single cable. So in short you are making an unbalanced signal doing this, which XLR does not support BUT 1/4 does (assuming that you are using a splitter cable to 2 speakers)

45 Hz - 40kHz at +/- 10 dB50 Hz - 30kHz at +/- 3dBAmazing for creating great mixes !

Yes, the XLR input has phantom power. It's always on. I.e. There is no switch to turn on or off the phantom power.

I agree that no XLR out is odd but I just patched around that. Not sure about the 1086 comparison. Never used one. I bought it for narration purposes and its gating capabilities so limiting is something I add in post production. For the money, it's a bargain. If you want to spend some bucks though, Aphex Channel Master is much more versatile. Hope that helps.

Yes, with two caveats: The output side (which does not provide power) is still XLR and needs some method of conversion (either Blue's Icicle, or an XLR to USB cable or a mixer with XLR input and USB-out or line-out to go to your computer's input). I use this with an XLR-USB cable (Mic -&gt; Mic Input, Mic Thru -&gt; XLR-USB cable -&gt; computer) and while I lose out on perfect monitoring, it records beautifully and introduces no hum on 48V phantom power. If you have a good line-in on your sound card in your computer you would probably be better off with a mixer that provides 48V phantom power and a line-out.

Of course you can. Just plug it in to the mixing board with phantom power enabled via a good quality XLR cable and make sure your levels are right, and you're set. The configuration really depends on what mixing board you can afford to get.

There is one xlr input un the upper left side (input 1), and 2 xlr master outputs

If you already have good quality mixer you do not need Tonematch per me. It does the same thing as your mixer.
