Behringer Xenyx 502 Mic buzzing...PLEASE HELP

I am using a Behringer Xenyx 502 mixer and my mic (Sterling Audio ST51) is giving me a buzzing on playback. But when I run other devices through the inputs such as an MP3 player through all the inputs including the CD/TAPE rca inputs there is no buzzing on play back. I am in desperate need of help behringer's tech support is no help at all and music stores just keep trying to get me to buy more stuff.

    ok just to clarify some other things really quick. Even with everything disconnected from the mixer and just the mixer connected to my PC i still get this buzzing sound. I also tried in my laptop, and Both my desktops and it still has the buzz on it. I made this video showing exactly whats going onhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgplWTpgD...

Get yourself anti-static spray and spray over the connector before inserting into the jack, most times its dust or static buildup which causes that buzzing sound and in other times replace your mic

SOURCE: Behringer XENYX 1622FX, won't power on. Phantom power works(?)

After reviewing the schematic, I don't understand how the Phantom power can REMAIN on with the power switch off... this CANNOT occur except for what energy is left in the 48 volt supply filter cap... This might last for minutes after the fuse went... UNLESS you have devices connected which are backfeeding the 48 volts. (which would be a disaster)

The 48 volts, +/- 12 volts and +/- 15 volts and the +5 volts ALL come from the SAME switching power supply. I suspect one of the filter caps went or the primary switching regulator a TDP245Y chip.

You should ONLY work on the line side of this using an ISOLATION transformer since the line side has lethal voltages.

To do testing, one replaces the fuse and puts a 60 Watt light bulb in series with the hot side of the inout line. The lamp "acts" as a resetable fuse and limits the current for testing. When all is well again, the lamp will remain out with the power flowing through it.

The D1 diode bridge and C7 input rectifier and filter are first things to check. You can do those with an ohmmeter.

I will caution you to ALWAYS power any and all equipment from the SAME power source. Plugging in devices from across the room will set up ground loops and any ground fault will fry equipment.

SOURCE: LEVEL POT ON A BEHRINGER EURORACK MX 602A-BAD

It appears that both these use a 50K pot in the identical circuit and it is UNLIKELY they re-engineered very much so it is likely they use the same pot.

Behringer parts service should be able to tell you.

SOURCE: type pf op amp in a Behringer XENYX 1204USB Mixer

Behringer uses 4580's in appropriate packaging everywhere. There are 339 comparators for the level indicator area.

The Mackies uses both NJM2068 and NJM4560M

The 2068' are used in most of the low noise areas and the 4560 is used in the 75Hz high pass filter for example.

SOURCE: I have the Behringer Xenyx

Is the sound a low frequency buzz or high frequency hiss? With all the input level controls at the minimum position and the output level controls at the maximum is the sound audible?

Waiting clarification, don't hesitate to post.

How can I reduce white noise / hissing I'm getting over the mic on a Behringer Xenyx 1204 USB setup?

Hi, you didn't say if the mic actually passes sound? The C-1 is a condenser Mic & needs phantom power - switch on the rear of your mixer. If that's no help, what happens if you disconnect the mic, then turn the levels back up? Still hissing or gone? If it's gone then it's the Mic - must use a 3 wire cable, preferably XLR so it gets the phantom power. If the hiss is still there without the Mic then sounds like the mixer is faulty - try some of the other channels..... How loau is the hiss - just in the background or as load as a vocal "one, two" test? A few things to check anyway...... Good Luck!

I have a Behringer B1 Microphone and a Behringer 1202 Mixer. I want to know how to connect both of these to my Yamaha Home Theater receiver so that I can sing karaokes from the computer, Please help

You'll need to connect both your PC and the Mic to the mixer, you'll need phantom power switched on at the mixer for the mic to work, you then take the two track out to the Aux input on the receiver.

IF your Laptop has a stereo LINE 1/8" INPUT jack, you can take the Stereo ( Left & Right ) LINE outputs on your mixer and feed into this jack on your PC. You will need a 1/4" dual plug for the mixer end to a single 1/8" stereo plug on the PC end. I suspect the problem you are having is either related to your PC only have a MIC input jack or you have something set wrong in your PC's sound config. file. More information is needed to properly solve the problem.

When i record thru my mxl genesis mic with the mixer i get like a loud distorton. Im using magix 14 ,and i have downloaded the audio driver off the disc that came with the mixer....Help

It is likely you do not have the levels set correctly and are over driving the mixer. Reduce the trim settings using the PFL buttons and monitor the level indicators to insure you are not clipping.

With a condenser mic you CANNOT have any speaker in the room that the mic can hear of course. These mics are so sensitive. Your mixer and monitor speakers and recording will be in a separate room from the soundproof studio typically.

To monitor the system anywhere in the same room as the mic you MUST use headphones that do NOT leak sound or you will get feedback and distortion.

How do I hook my preamp up to my computer?

Either through your computer's soundcard (1/8" mic input) or you'll have to get an interface such a an M-Audio FastTrack. There has to be something that converts the analog sound from the mixer to digital info that you're computer can utilize.

This is a STUDIO mic and CANNOT be used in the presence of speakers that are driven from its output.

There is special hardware processors to cancel feedback but you do NOT want to go there !!!

This condenser mic is to be used in a studio where performers wear earphones and NO monitors are present.

You should use a Shure SM58 or other CLOSE talking cardoids if you have speakers in the area.

Whow i connect my xenyx 1002 mixer to audiophil 2496 sound card

You must connect:
the main out of the 1002, or the ctrl room out of the 1002 at your power amplifier's input.
the line in 9/10 of the 1002 at your 2496's line out.
the cd/tape out of the 1002 at your 2496's line in.
in case of a cd connect it's line out at line in 3/4, or line in 7/8 of 1002
some mic at the mic 1 or mic 2 of 1002.
That's the way you're going to have control for:
the mic level from channel 1 or 2.
cd level from channel 3/4 or 7/8.
pc playback from channel 9/10.
master speakers from main mix or ctrl room.
All the above connections are not absolute and may vary depending on your needs.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post.
