Buying for my wife's group fitness studio. Is it best to use the XLR ouput or the 1/4" output? It would just be an instructor talking over music

I'm a group fitness instructor and I just plug in the 1/4 inch and use the volume knob on the base and it works great. I teach step aerobics and BodyPump so my music is fairly loud and the participants have no problem hearing me.

Both work, however, it is always better to use the XLR output to your mixing board/amp if you have one. XLRs are shielded and grounded and have a much more quality signal. Both work, the 1/4" output works for appications like going straight into a karaoke system or something like a guitar amp if you want it to be much more mobile.

The XLR is usually used when there is a long distance between the microphone receiver and the amplifier. I use the 1/4 inch when the receiver is nearby the mixer/amplifier.

I use the 1/4" plug. at the time I wanted to see how well the unit worked so I just plugged in the 1/4" plug and just kept on talking , with and with out music. Unit worked great for our car show, 2 days, 8 hours a day. run your belt transmitter about 30-35% and get the volume from driving the amp. If you start pushing the belt transmitter and talking fast or loud the audio clips. Good luck and enjoy, I sure did. Jimmy

Yes. Both the 1/4 plug (Hi Hz) and the XLR (Low Hz) output are in one unit that is housed with the 9 volt battery. This unit is the powwer source. It is connected to the circuit board in the pre amp via a wire. I understand that the 1/4 goes to your guitar. Or you can plug the XLR output directly into mixer board.I do not know how the signal

I used the 1/4" inputs instead. Although I did run the xlr's from the outs of my board for awhile.

There are XLR and 1/4 inch cord inputs. The 1/4" is inside the XLR input, you just stick it in.

Go to the websight and download the manuel. There is an explanation for this there. Indeed there are no XLR inputs or outputs only 1/4 inch.

Any sound card with XLR outputs would work but like myself, I'm going into a mixer from my computer then into these from the main out of the mixer. Hope this helps, enjoy!

I use the XLR and crossoverTo be honest, I have not fully learned how to use this thing, but it works very well for me.I love this sub

There is no XLR input or output. Everything is 1/4". You could of course plug in a microphone with a 1/4" jack. From the design I do not think this would be the best amp to use for a singer songwriter/small venue set up. It is made to use as a home practice amp.

Female speakon actually. Xlr is for input signal, speakon is for connection of speakers

This preamp is intended for a single source input, whether 1/4" jack or xlr

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!

I personally think there are much better options for connecting your audio source to the house mixer. The mic input on this unit is XLR, so I'm not sure how it could work. The 1/4" monitor input does not transfer through the same XLR channel output only the headphone output. I'm a big fan of most Behringer products, but not this one. Look at the Radial Pro AV or similar DI box. Good luck!

I just like to have couple of them in the kit bag. Most foot pedals don't have XLR in/outs. If one of your rack mount processors craps out on you, you have an alternate plan. Lots of smaller venues don't have the equipment you want/need at the sound desk. Also if you find one of your XLR inputs on your sound board has broken and its too close to show, you have a backup in place. Hope this helps.

I like the Pyle. It's perfect for me as I DJ at various venues and they are sticklers for DB readings. I would recommend this sound level meter. This one holds steady. If you are trying to use it to master or calibrate the level, might be better to do it in the studio on the boards and re-master session. Or, if you are holding it while you are listening to the sounds, it will give you a reading on what it hears. Can't decipher tones and if you are trying to listen to one deck vs. another. I hope this helps??

You can use any sound card you'd like. There are a wealth of inputs and some accept more than one type of connector. I think that for optimal sound, you should use a source with balanced output over XLR. This would be ideal, and any professional level SoundCard, or mixer for that matter, should offer a balanced output via 1/4" or XLR cable connection.

Hi there. All are male. Channels 1 and 2 have a D.I. pre-EQ out. , PLUS a 1/4" send and return EFX loop. There is also a general Mix D.I. out for both channels. Additionally: Aux. inputs for 1/8" and 1/4" - I haven't had occasion to use these, but I imagine one could plug in an iPod here, and finally, a footswitch, which I elected to not purchase. All XLR's are male, all others are female. Are you running the Loudbox through a larger system? If so, a direct box (D.I.) is usually used due to the separate power sources. I hope this helps.
