I am a keyboard player and singer. Could I use this box to mix the keyboard output and a mic, and then feed the mixed signal to the main mixer?

There is only one input. I play electronic drums and use a direct box for that input. And my vocal I just use my monitor mix on the rolls from the main mixer. Works fantastic. I totally turn off the drums on my monitor mix that's coming from the main mixer and use the input volume that is on the rolls.

While this particular unit is not designed for this, you COULD do it if you used the headphone output (one of them) to send the signal out to the main mixer. If you do this, you would NOT want to use any inputs from the main mixer into the Rolls, just an input from your mic and input from your keyboard. Not ideal, and the main mixer would be getting a "headphone level" signal sent to it. Could introduce unwanted noise because that would be an unbalanced signal.

Yes... In some ways. Try taking the output of your keys to the line input, as well, take your mic and plug into the mic input, and the mic through to the input of mixer. If your asking if you can take the headphone out to an input in the mixer, that will work. However, I wouldn't recommend that. If I were you, I would take a stereo (or a mono) aux out to the line in, then plug your mic in to the input, the mic through to input of board, then use the phones out for a floor wedge or IEM's. Try it that way you have a mix of your vocals, and a mix of the band. (Band includes your keys). If this doesn't work, let me know, I'll do some research, and get back too you. Yes... In some ways.

Yes. I currently do that. I also use earbuds when I have limited space and no amp

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.

While anything is possible, you'll need some adapters for PC input or output. There is a phones output and a monitor output which could be adapted into a usual line-in on a PC, but there are no midi inputs. Most of the input channels have line-level inputs in 1/4" phono format, so almost any audio source could be mixed in here. Its not the best thing for DJ-style mixing, however: there is only a single (stereo) output bus, so no cross-fading here.

You can use both.Hook your instruments / Mikes directly to the Tone Match and connect the OUT to the mixer.Thant's all there is to it.

This mixer can send output from your two wireless microphones (assuming they have standard input capabilities) into your PC mixed to your preference; that information then becomes "input" to your PC after which the output to the amp/speaker setup becomes your PC's responsibility moreso than the mixer. The short answer is that it should if you know how to handle your PC as a middleman. Hope this helps~

Also, if what you want to do is hook up a studio-quality microphone to your computer (rather than mix several audio inputs in realtime) you're better off with a dedicated mike preamp like the Art Tube Studio and a USB sound card (cheap ones are fine).

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.

You can use a mixer device or a "Y" cable, but it is not designed to it. If you do it, both mics will have the effect on then.

this is a great basic mixer with normal board outputs no USB input or outputs. I am sure if you had a usb rca junction junction box it would work great. Also inputs are in XLR and 1/4 inch so you may need adapters.

Technically yes, but it's not really designed for that. You would have to take the LINK output and run it to an existing audio interface on your computer. If you're looking to record multiple instruments, you may have better success using a mixer and a USB audio interface. Check out the Behringer Xenyx 1204USB.

What you are suggesting will most likely create feedback and/or damage the unit (any brand). If you are using it as a monitor try to get your input feed from the PA. If you can't get an isolated monitor mix from the PA then plug your mic into the B205D and use it to reinforce you own stage mix. Run the output to the PA but...Don't loop back!

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).

As far as i know you can. But i recommend double checking with experts at stores like Guitar Center or Sweetwater. Are you intending to plug in directly to the speaker? I would think you'd be plugging the mic into the mixer.

run it through a splitter, OR get an external mixer with multiple outs. thx!

I can tell you it will work (from someone who has done it IN A PINCH), but I don't recommend it for normal use. You won't have independent control over each mic through your mixer; but if your Shure receiver has independent adjustable outputs, you can adjust them there (just makes it hard on the fly). Someone may tell you that it is a mismatched impedance by doing it this way, but it CAN work.

Normally you would not wire 2 output devices to a 1 input device but since the output devices are passive (I assume) mics, then they will just mix together at the computer input jack via the splitter cable. Your biggest problem will be balancing the 2 mic signals to your satisfaction since there is no control on the 2 mics.

Both previous answers are correct. Your recording software will dictate how the audio signal from each input is handled. A typical default is to have the two inputs split to right and left (stereo). Garageband, Peak, ProTools, Reaper, will allow you to mix the two together however you like.
