I Plugged in this cord
The IPOD generates STEREO signals and you would have to use a 1/8 inch STEREO to 1/4 inch WYE cable into TWO channels of the mixer.
If you use a MONO cable it shorts out one of the sudio amps in the IPOD and will creates distortion.
When you use the two channels to accept the 1/4 inch plugs of the WYE cable, you will set the PAN controls of the two channels you use to opposite ends to maintain the stereo signal in the mixer.
Ks like I have a blown power supply. Is there a
To get a replacement one calls Behringer at 1-425-672-0816 and ask for parts. You get the actual Behringer part number and incident number from them for the part(s) you need.
Then one can call FullCompass (find them with Google) and order the parts. through them. Behringer no longer sells direct.
How to connet mixer to
Use balanced audio connecions with XLR and/or TRS plugs from the outputs to the inputs of powered speakers. Make sure ALL interconnected equipment is powered by same receptacle or source, even if it means running an extension cord to your mixer.
I have a behringer 16
I don't believe this board has an "Aux send IN" jack. There are "Aux Send" and Aux Return.
The Aux returns are TRS jacks.
Make sure ALL interconnected equipment are powered from the SAME receptacle or source to avoid damage to equipment.
You might clarify the exact name of the in or out that is not working. I have schematics to help troubleshoot the problem.
How do I set this up as my main input device in
Early versions of Pro Tools do not support Behringer devices.
The newly released Pro Tools 9 can be calibrated through the Pro Tool Aggregate I/O in your audio/midi settings.
Good Luck,

I just bought one last night. I love it so far. I

there is the manual
But to actually answer some questions for you as well.
1. How do I connect it to my monitors?
Out of the back of the console there is a Main Out : Left and Right.
there are two sets, one is XLR, second is 1/4 in.
Run those to Powered Speakers and Voila.
Note:
If you are using unpowered speakers then you will need a poweramp to run speakers.
2. and 3.
first make sure your fader is all the way down
Once you plug in your microphone the top white knob is your gain preamp actually turning your voice going into the board up.
Second set your Main Mix fader: far right faders to 0.
Then, the channel your microphone is on bring up the fader and you should start hearing some of your vocal through the monitors.
4th.
At the Top right there are two sets of stereo ins (RCA) all you need is a 1/8 in to RCA cable coming out of the Headphone/Line Out of your computer.
Good Luck,
Cody J.

UPS will not help this. Make sure you are using GOOD quality balanced cables, preferably XLR to connect to powered speakers. Make sure ALL (read that "ALL" closely) of your equipment is powered from the SAME receptacle or power module... this means run power to your mixer or speakers alongside your audio lines or snake between the units. This includes ANY other devices tied into your mixer with the exception of truly ground lifted DI's.
Good way to pop speakers is to run them on stage power and mixer from plug at the rear of a room... The common mode ground noise will exceed the common mode capability of the audio inputs and fry them.
Computer does not recognize it and the mic does
I have a 1222FX and here is how I have it hooked up. I have a cord that has an 1/8" stereo plug on one end and two mono RCA jacks on the other. The 1/8" end goes into my line in on my sound card. (not the microphone in ). The RCA jacks are hooked to two cords that I made up that have a RCA plug on one end and a XLR plug on the other. The XLR plugs are wired so that they are unbalanced. Pin one is ground and pins two and three are soldered to the positive. I used shielded cable and the shield is soldered to negative on the RCA jack but left unconnected on the XLR jack. This prevents hum. You may be able to purchase premade cables but I made my own. The XLR jacks are plugged into the left and right balanced or unbalanced Main output jacks of the mixer. On your computer click Start then Control Panel. Click Sounds and Audio Devices. Make sure that Place Volume in Taskbar is checked. Place the volume slider in about halfway position if there is one. Click Advanced and a control panel should pop up. It will say Play Control at the top. You will want your speaker volume about half way also. Make sure line in is NOT muted (checked ) and is also about half way up. Plug headphones into the mixer and get a good sound with the microphone you are using. If it is a microphone that requires phantom power make sure you turn the power to the mixing board on first, then the phantom power. Do this with the main volume control all the way off. When the mixer has warmed up for a minute or so you can bring the volume up to get a good sound. When you are done recording, make sure you slide the volume down again. Then turn the phantom power switch off and then the main power. This procedure protects your equipment. On the Play Control volume panel on your computer click on Options then Properties. You will see that it is checked for Playback. Check it for recording. Make sure that where it says Show the following volume controls, it has Playback volume and at least Line In checked. Now check the Recording Controls. Where it says Show the following volume controls make sure that at least Line In is checked. Click on O.K. and your Recording Control window will pop up. Make sure that Line In select has a check mark. Slide the volume up until you get a good sound through your computer speakers or your headphones if you have them plugged into the computer. If you accidentally close this window, Click on the speaker symbol in your taskbar at the bottom. You will have to switch between Play Control and Recording Control as before. You didn't mention what software you are using so I advise you to read your manuals carefully. The manual for the mixer has a page with wiring diagrams for cables. Here is a link to a site with lots of good info and an invaluable FREE book that you can download:http://www.recordingreview.com/ I hope this helps.
When using the dsp of
The problem is not a DIY repair... since unit is new, take IMMEDIATELY for warranty replacement or repair.
Behringer XENYX 2442FX Mixer. The power light
You have likely lost one, probably the +15 volt power supply... This is possibly a shorted component or a short on the circuit board causing this. It takes some skills at troubleshooting to find this. Sometimes using a thermal imaging camera will show hot spot... other times you have to search with a millivoltmeter. The rude solo light is driven by an op amp that uses both polarities of 15 volts and to turn it on it pulls negative... Hence I suspect the +15 is missing.
While pushing the fader knob on after cleanig the
You may have destroyed the faders. If excessive force is applied to put the knob on, then the resistance element may be cracked. ALWAYS only put the button on at one end of the throw of the fader. The channelfaders appear to be 10K, probably audio taper. Most are made by ALPS. You can probably get replacement from either DigiKey.com or Mouser.com. Often the tab for the knob is too long and has to be cut off and de-burred. Removing the faders from the board REALLY requires a soldering station/de-soldering station as it is easy to damage the circuit board. Do NOT use solderwick as you would need too much heat to remove solder from the back side... you need a solder ****** type. Mesure the throw of the slider as a first step to find replacement. Next, match the hole pattern, and then next the resistance value and finally the taper, in this case, audio.
Pay attention to the type of tab for the knob...
It is a lot of work removing all the knobs, all the nuts on the 1/4 inch jacks, and screws, including those for the XLR jacks.
Need to connect to a sound blaster live sound card
This particular mixer offers a usb (2 channel connection) that can be simply plugged into the computer usb 2.0. These channels should be available in Sonar from the channel Input/output drop boxes. You may need to restart Sonar, the mixer or both for them to be recognized. You may also need to run the Wav Profiler in Sonar. Typically the Wave Profiler is found in the Options>Audio menu but may be different on each edition of Sonar. The above info is for Sonar 7.
If you are wanting to record several channels at once then I would recommend connecting your Mixer's Direct Outputs from each channel to a corresponding input of the soundblaster if your soundblaster supports multiple channels. And then use the usb outbut from the Sonar to monitor the computer playback of your master stereo channel. Or, you may connect the soundblaster outputs to unused channels of the mixer or to the tape return or auxilary inputs to monitor the computer playback on the mixer.
Alternately you can send the signal to your soundblaster via the buss outputs. This will limit the number of simaltanious output channels to the number of busses on the mixer, but you can send any mixer channel to any buss without unplugging the instruments or mics.
Here's the link to the page where you can download the free pdf manual for this mixer. Page 14 explains the output connections and has diagrams.

I have a Tascam US1641
The 2442FX has a built in usb interface so there is really no need to use the Tascam. Here is a link for you:http://www.behringer.nl/EN/Products/2442FX.aspx
