Is the number on the effects display still flashing? Can you select effects or is that section dead now? I've had occasions with my Behringer mixers where a bad ground or otherwise improper power supply seems to cause issues with the effects section but the board seems otherwise functional. It has definitely had me scratching my head a few times and is worth investigating.

SOURCE: faulty effects behringer djx700

The effects on the PMP powered mixers flash UNTIL you push in on the selector knob. This way you can dial in the next effect number and then push in later to activate when you want it... Could yours possibly be the same technique?

SOURCE: my effects on the behringer djx 700 dj mixer stop working how

This is a wild educated guess.

I repaired a Behringer guitar amp that had a DSP effects in it (BX1200 I believe).

The effects were on a seperate board and the board had its own 5 volt power supply. The filter capacitor for the 5 volt power on the board was UNDERSIZED and it had degraded causing the 5 volts to drop out of regulation, dipping to 4 volts. This caused the DSP effects to fail.

YOUR device MAY use the same DSP OR design.

Check the 5 volt power with an OSCILLOSCOPE to look for dips below the 5 volt operating point that occur at 120 HZ.

SOURCE: how to get the effects to work on the mixer

This is in general for Behringer mixers since you did NOT tell us a model number...

To use the effects you adjust the FX knob for EACH channel for the amount of the mic or input you want to send to effects from that channel. This is the "send" mix.

You dial in one of the effects based on the list near the effects selection window with the selector knob and the number will change and start flashing. You press down on the selection knob which will enter the new effects number and the number will be solid and not flashing.

Then there is a knob to select how much of the OUTPUT of the effects you want to go to the main and sometimes one for the amount to the monitors.

That is all there is to it. The effects can be gated by a foot switch input if you desire.

It is a good idea to include a model number as your thing is posted as if it is a PMP3000 mixer.

SOURCE: I have a Behringer SL2442FX-Pro

First thing to check is the power supply voltages. I have seen a Behringer effect module that had low 5 volts and it continually reset itself.

Schematics: http://elektrotanya.com/behringer_sl2442.pdf/download.html

Typical Behringer mixer should have same DSP as yours and similar or identical power supply

SOURCE: Eurodesk sx3242fx has the numbers

Those are the selected effects that will become active. You DIAL up the desired number and when you want the dialed effect to activate, you PRESS DOWN on the selection knob which triggers the effect.

There is NOTHING wrong, you just haven't pressed the knob down. You have dialed effect #1 which is the first step above a "small hall" reverb... And you have dialed #25 which is a longer delay "plate" reverb. Each of these will become active when you push down on their respective knobs and they will be solid, not flashing when they are selected.

There is also a little period that appears if you disable each of these effects with the disable switch.

My behringer eurodesk sx3242fx has a problem with the MAIN OUT XLR (L&R)....LEFT side is not working what is the problem?

Process of elimination needed...start by checking cables and amplifier channels. Also make sure the mic channel on the mixer does not have the left and right "Pan" control turned to the extreme "R" (no left output).

Eurodesk sx3242fx the fx started flashing then quit working, now it does not light up at all, what causes this?

They die, it's a cheap mixer and if you look around you'll find a lot of these with faults of one sort or another. They are not worth repairing due to the way they are made unless its under warranty. Remember if you registered it there should be a three year warranty.

Behringer bsy600 problem with switch, on with delay

The time delay is suggesting a capacitor is needing to charge. One of the larger values may be excessively leaky and discharging at a rate fast enough to keep the capacitor from achieving a functional charge sooner. If this was something that developed recently, I would suspect the capacitor first, If in doubt recap it entirely. At a minimum all of the caps of the same value and higher capacity to the one that failed. Also check the solder joints and wiring to catch something that may develop sooner rather than later as well.

Behringer sx3242fx not working .i need circuit diagram .

Behringer will not release schematics unless you are an authorized service agent... however, sometimes you can make do with the few schematics floating around... What is the problem with the unit? They typically use a switching power supply and the schematics of those aree usually similar enough to repair them.

Hi -- my fairly new behringer dr600 reverb box is cutting in and out (in time to its reverb setting) after about an hour of playing. i'm using 2-hour-old batteries! it's pretty psychedelic... but...

Batteries are probably drained... expect maybe four hours on Duracell and Energizer, two hours on Radio Shack batteries. These pedals chew up batteries fast so best to get an adapter... and make sure it is the right one for the pedal.

I have a Behringer sx3242fx, mono input channel #2 mute button got stuck in (pressed in), i.e. the channel cannot be un-muted no matter how it is pressed. Any suggestions?

Put a tiny bit of CRC226 around it to lube the button. Then CAREFULLY use a scalpel to encourage it to come up. Then put a little more 226 around it.

HELLO, I HAVE A BEHRINGER PMP 3000 MIXER, AND I CANT SEEM TO GET THE FX TO WORK EVEN THOUGH I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS IN MANUAL, IME JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS SOMETHING IME OVERLOOKING? SCINCE I KNOW...

Do the following:

Set each of the FX mix knobs to 12 o'clock (halfway up to start)... I believe they are orange tops for each channel effects are desired for.

Next select the number of effect by rotating the selection knob. The display will flash.

Push DOWN on the selection knob to activate the selected effect number... the display will cease to flash. Note that you can mute the effects with a small button in the effect area and decimal point will come on showing effect, even though selected, is disabled. That small button can toggle the effects on and off.

Next, adjust the "FX to main knob" above the MAIN fader... set it to 12 o'clock to start with.
Note that there are two others that send the resultant same effect to stage monitors if used...

Now ADVANCE the FX (orange) fader to increase the input to the FX. You should start to hear the effects... SOME of the effects are subtle, so maybe choose a long delay one to get the hang of it... choose #3 for example...

The manual is NOT too clear how to use the effects and is confusing... they assume you have knowledge common to mixers... and new users don't.

I would recommend watching several YouTube videos about mixer setup... there are some good ones there !!! Most mixers have a lot in common and once you learn what is there, you can work most any of them... some of the new digital ones are a bit more confusing.

Eurodesk sx3242fx has the numbers 1 & 25 flashing in the effects processor display. where can I find the code to tell me what is wrong?

Hi ! I have the same problem. THERE IS DEFINITELY something wrong there. It's not that you've not selected the effects, but the units keep on resetting. Even if you can select a different preset, it will go back to 1 & 25. I've been told that the problem has something to do with the power source, but I'm still trying to get a solution. Best luck !

Effects doesnt scroll?

You MAY have to exit the mode first to change it... Try pressing the sync-lock button to exit the mode before changing.

The D2 PROBABLY means "delay 2"... although the documentation is really poor... One has to read between the lines...

It works fine but all the lights on the levels have stopped working all of a sudden :s

try using a different power source. if that doesn't work open it up, make sure theres no frayed wires and that its clean... you'd b surprised what a difference dust makes... then if its still not lighting up i'd say either deal with not having lights or get a new one, cuz chances are its gonna cost just as much to have some1 fix it for ya
