Just curious, what would happen if you switch to "Bridged" option on the mixer and have both hook-ups on the back of the mixer connected?? Will that blow the mixer output channel or blow the cord hooked up or both? Thanks.

I have had many powered mixers before. Most have circuitry that prevent owners from goofing up. They know that some one will try what you have in mind. I doubt that you will hurt the mixer, but will probably not get the result desired. This is my first behringer powered mixer. I have not studied it well enough to answere your question. I use this in my home studio and have plenty of power. I would suggest that you email behringer and ask them. I will tell you that I like this mixer more than the Mackie that I had. This one gas twice the power, 6 times the effects and 1/3 the price of my 4 year old Mackie. I have had many powered mixers before. Most have circuitry that prevent owners from goofing up.

I'm not sure I understand the question. There's a mixer included in the setup. If you have the appropriate cables, you can connect any number of devices, including CD players. If you meant to ask, "Can I use this WITH my mixer that is connected to my CD players?" the answer would be a tentative 'yes', but there wouldn't be any point and I can't imagine a scenario where you would do so.

Hi, make sure you have good quality cables, & try separating your mixer & your speaker power sources....You may be inducing a ground loop... -MT

Depends on whether the mixer is a "powered" mixer or not. This is a "powered" (active) monitor, so it's meant to be used with a "non-powered" mixer. In other words you EITHER amplify at the mixer and use a "passive" monitor, or amplify at the monitor/speaker by using an "active" monitor (which this is). Actually, it will work with either, you just have to make sure you use the correct inputs.

I would use the berhringer SX3040 chan's A-B out's to your Alux. return left & right. Then use a RCA two male to one female mono splitter for the input from the berhinger unit, out of the send output from the mixer. Now if you like all in stereo then use the monitor left & right out from the mixer instead, but note you'll have to use the monitor valume control knob for sending signal to the Berhringer SX3040 unit. Good luck hope this works for you!

Actually I just received my hog 20 and that 2nd input in the back will NOT play simultaneously with the one in front. I called Pignose and was told by them that that 2nd input in the rear is provided in case the front one fails since they often are subject to rough use out on the street etc. When you plug into one of the two inputs, it stops the other from taking a signal. The tech at Pignose suggested trying to use a 2 to 1 splitter/combiner cable ( apoor man's mixer he called it) which he says works about 80% of the time.

if you bridge through channel A , to one speaker then from that speaker to the next, not useing b channel on the amp , you will be in bridge mode

I only used it a couple times , I pretty sure its bridged, for as cheep and cheezy as it is I dont see it being separate channels .

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!

Unfortunately it is not bridgeable. If you need more power, I suggest you look into Emotiva Mini-x a100 which is on sale now and is rated at 50w per channel@8ohm. I bought one and very impress and it is better than Fiio after I let it burn in for few days. Before it burns in it sounded awful but sound stage open up after few days.Quang Tran

So what's the answer? Either the company is shipping these with two different power supplies, (120v or 220v) or people are responding to this question inaccurately. I just received my mixer and the power supply is definitely 120v. This is the second mixer that I have had to return for this problem. Is there any chance that the company can hop on here and give us an authoritative answer to this question?

the advice I found, and only after trying it with Bi-wired with my receiver, was unless you actually have two amps to power the speaker, wire it with the bridge in place via the single channel. You won't notice enough change with it bi-wired, and you only end up losing a pair of channels that you could otherwise use for rear surround or a second zone.

I'm not a fan of either of these answers, because they're ignoring the possibility of SPLITTING the stereo sound into separate mono channels, that can be recombined by the mixer. This means you can effectively mix two stereo inputs, by splitting them into four mono channels.

Rock out!!!! Best solution would be to connect the computer into the mixer feeding the monitors then it is no different from any other source. If you are connecting directly to the computer headphone jack just be careful not to send too hot of a signal - if you hear any distortion at all then turn down the volume on the computer - and you will be fine.

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

You would want to run the sound through this device before the amp. What I do is I have my mixer's left and right sent to input 1 and 2 and then send the outputs directly to the amp. Some people likely use the 2 processors as sends from their mixers, but I wanted to process the whole output instead of just one member of the band.

Check out the specks on the Xenyx. I think it has only one preamp. Also check your other equipment to see if they have preamps built into their systems. Any mixer is mainly for routing multiple units to the amps and then on to the speakers or speaker/amps. Most mixers have preamps as part of their input system but not all the inputs are preamps. You can usually tell by the xlr inputs which are always preamps. Juts make sure your mixer has the amount of preamps you need, but most amplifiers now have preamps built in. Feel free to emailme with more info about your system or what you want to do and I will be glad to help you. John
