I bought a new behringer vmx1000. I can not get the microphone working.

There is a User Manual here... http://www.manualslib.com/manual/453512/Behringer-Pro-Mixer-Vmx1000.html

Check the type of microphones connected and set the proper settings,

and connect it to other mic inputs .

Greetings! Ok, your amp has an XLR (3-prong) Low-Impedance input on Channel 1 for a Mic. All the other inputs are 1/4" High Impedance inputs, which are for instruments and/or other High Impedance items including low quality High Impedance Microphones. The SM48S is a high quality Low Impedance microphone, so if you use it with a 1/4" plug, it will be in a High Impedance channel, and will be very LOW in volume in comparison with everything else. So, you must use an XLR (3 prong) cable from the Mic to the Channel 1 input on your amp. That will do the trick. Good Luck with your new amp and Mic!

That's a condenser microphone. Make sure you have on your phantom power. Should be a button or switch somewhere on the mixer ( individual channel or switch by power switch or in master section for +48v). All condenser mics require this.

IAW its sparse manual which apparently assumes some hi-fi experience on the part of the user...

Success will depend on your "stack" systems capabilities.

the type of mic input built into a pc (with a mini-jack socket) will not accept the output of a pro dynamic mic such as the one you have - it won't work correctly. You require a pre-amp or mixer - or what would be better for you would be an audio interface with a built in pre-amp such as this:

interface example.

Answer from official Behringer support:
The green LED is fine. The newer units have green LEDs.

Please download and install asio 4 all from:

We hope that we have been able to help you with this information.

Hi, It all depends on how you connected it. You can troubleshoot all connection.

After doing that, If still does not work,I would advice you take the microphone back to where you bought it from, and ask for replacement. Only if it has Guarantee for the mic.

Thanks for using fixya...

The microphone needs a phantom power supply to work. In your case you need a 48volt phantom power supply. Some mixers have this feature built in.The Micropower PS400 by Behringer would probably be a good choice.

Some of the Podcast mics are condenser mics and MUST be used with a preamp or DEVICE that supplies PHANTOM power to the mic.

You computer DOESN"T supply Phantom power.

Read up on Phantom power in Google to understand it.
