Would this work for a band. If i plug 2 microphones into it would I be able to hear over the instruments (ex. drums, keyboard)?

Yes it should work, it has individual volume controls for the mics and the aux in, so you could use it with an instrument plugged into the aux. If you have multiple instruments you would need a mixer, and then plug that into the aux.

I would expect 2 microphones will work. This is not a "heavy duty" amp. Don't push it too hard. Although rated at 240 watts, we are running outdoor loudspeakers for a total of about 100 watts, the unit really gets hot when we turn the volume up. As for 2 microphones, mic 1 position will mute all other sound when it is active. I don't know of any way to turn that off. You may be able to set up the mic 2 and AUX inputs for 2 mics to be active at the same time.

Depends on your budget and application (mostly budget). Go to a music store and try a few mics.

that sounds like a cool thing to do. I think it would work because they are just carring a signal so if you wired several toether and then had a good powered preamp or even a foot pedal eq that has a volume control it could work. They are so inexpensive that it is worth a try.

Should work, but may cause distortion (signal overload) if all speaking at once or mic too close -- i think. though never done myselgf

Sorry sir, this device has no connection to a microphone, this is a headphone amplifier, and splitter, the input is only one for a signal that comes from the headphone output from whether a mixer or a eegular amplifier, and you have the capability to conect up to 4 people/headphones with enough volume for each one. If yu connect a wired mic at the input the signal is too low that will be impossible to be amplified enough to the level to hear it, unless the signal comes from a mixer in which the mic is connected.

Hm, probably not too well. This microphone is designed as a mic for a tuner. It works great to plug directly into a tuner. it's OKAY to use as a contact microphone for amplification if you don't have any other options. I purchased it as a backup for just in case my classical guitar pickup goes out during the middle of a gig and I need amplification. The sound you'll get out of it is not very good, because isn't designed for that. But with a lot of EQ work, you can still get a decent sound at a very cheap price. I recommend keep looking around for a better mic for your bass, but if you have a little extra cash lying around, then it's definitely worth picking this one up to have a mediocre spare and just to see how it works.

I'm guessing you want to hook up a microphone and another audio source like a CD player or iPod at the same time and be able to mix background music in realtime, rather than having to edit a multitrack recording after the fact in GarageBand or similar software? This little mixer will work fine for that purpose. If you are thinking of mixing multiple microphone inputs simultaneously on one recording (several people talking at once), it won't work for that: you'd need a bigger mixer with more than one XLR input jack (as many as you plan to have mikes going at once).

Technically you could hook up 5 mics but you would likely need an adapter from XLR to 1/4 phono for four of them and you would only have a 'Balanced' input for the one (whatever that means)

Either will work. My kids use it with headphones so as to not bother anyone (I bet my mom wishes they had electronic drums with headphones 40 years ago) or you can connect an amp. It generates amazing sounds through an amp. We connect these drums, a guitar and a keyboard and have an awesome jam session!!!

One thing I remembered should work to, is using a splitter on the two mics if they have the headphone size plug that way both mics can be used under the mic volume control.

Mine was actually pretty defective and the sound quality was really bad so I never used it. I don't recommend it. I'm not sure if it works for mics.

I've used it for micing acoustic guitars and guitar amplifiers with decent results so I would say yes. I have yet to use it for drums or other instruments but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

No. Singing through it with a band with amplified instruments & drums it will not work. For a rehearsal with acoustic un amplified instruments it would be ok at best. 15 watts, & a 6in speaker is not a PA system. You need something bigger for a show. I would use this for singing & playing guitar in a large classroom to students. If you add drums it can't really keep up.

With this you can`t at the same time, it`s not a Karaoke machine. Only one source at a time. If you have a wireless mic you need an amp to hook it up to. Even a guitar combo amp with built in speakers or better yet a keyboard amp. Or a mixer that you can hook up different sources (such as a CD player) then to an amp and speakers. Basically some sort of PA system. Doesn`t have to be big like a live band would use, a personal one/size would work. That`s some options...

This would work with one at a time - as in, you'd have to buy two of the 1/4" cables for both auxiliary and microphone. The included splitter only splits for two outputs, not one output and one input. Sorry yo!

I have not tried it, but it has to. This amp is designed to be a stage monitor for musicians performing. That is why it has 5 inputs, so that the musician can hear all the other instruments of the band.

It's not intended for mics to be connected directly to it (at least that is what the documentation says - no phantom power)... if you need that then consider the Shark DSP 110. My band uses this for live sound. At the moment we are running the left and right house channels from our mixing board through the FBQ1000. We've only used it for a couple of gigs so far, but it has worked great.The FBQ1000 only protects two channels.
