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.

Our new Behringer 2000 has stopped working. The green light doesn't come on when sound goes in microphone.

the green light is power indicator not mic level. the green light should come on when powered up. remove mike cable and the see if green light comes on, If it does power down and connect mike and cable (hopefully you have a good quality one and not a toy)
Call Behringercustomer service. Where did you buy it from, if new it is under warranty and need to replaced with another new one. It is not an audio mixer the yellow and right lights are for clipping.

I just bought a Behringer K3000FX amp and it sounds GREAT with my keyboard. However, just bought a Shure SM48S voice mic and it just doesn't come thru the amp with much volumn...have to turn amp

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!

Hi I bought a Behringer C-1 Mic. And when I plug it into my xynyx 502, the LED of the C-1 open. But! my xynyx does not! receive any signal... Please help. did you think my C-1 is broke? because it was new...

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.

Wire Colour coding for Behringer C1 Microphone

It is likely that the brown goes to pin 1 (ground/shield phantom -) as well as the black.

Red is likely to go to pin 2 (across from 1)(signal +)
and the orange to pin 3 (signal -)

Hi, i've set up my podcaststudio but now can't get hear any sound when using the mic - either through garageband or directly through headphones. thnx!

Hello and thank you for using Fixya's service.

The Podcaststudio may have bumped out your audio driver. This happens quite a bit. You can re-download the driver free of charge by visiting the manufacturer or your computer (ex. dell.com). Once on the page, click on support, enter model number and operating system. They will make available a list of drivers for your computer. Scroll down near the bottom and choose the audio driver. Download and install. Reboot the computer and you will be good to go.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

How to connect behringer ultragain pro mic

Here is the manual:http://www.behringer.com/EN/downloads/pdf/MIC2200_P0054_M_ENG.pdf Plug your microphone into the input using a proper cable. Plug another balanced cable into the output on the back and plug it into a microphone input on the mixing board. If your mixing board already has phantom power, disable it for that input as the MIC2200 has phantom power. Read the manual carefully and take note of the directions for phantom power and balanced cables. Make sure you follow the directions carefully. If you need the manual in a different language look the MIC2200 up under products at Behringer.com and you can download in pdf format in many different languges.

Behringer B-1 Will Not Pick Up Anything

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.

Behringer F-CONTROL AUDIO... Problem:

I had a similar problem where as I could use the mic no problem at all but couldn't hear anything through the headphones. The simple solution was to disable the driver for my internal soundcard. It took me 48 hours to work it out! Good luck.
