I have a Crown Power Base 1 AMP, with a buzz. It is really loud with just the mixer hocked up and no music being put thru. I checked the mixer, and all cables, all are good. Any Idea?

Buzz through speakers usually means it is picking up humm from a power source. Check your mixer and amp input (gain) levels. If one is turned up really high you will get buzz. If that doesn't work check where it is plugged in. Is it sharing power with another electronic piece of equipment? You can also buy a power conditioner (I believe it is called). It will put out "clean" power (power without Hz humm). They can be expensive though. Less exspensive mixers will put out humm. Lower that gain as low as possible and raise the amp gain. Or vice verse

When I turn the machine on it makes a buzzing noise, (not loud but it might be like an alarm).

If the mixer is still running and making the buzzing noise one of the electrical contactors is making the noise and should be replaced.
If the mixer is not running and just making a buzzing noise it can be because off single phasing, check the incoming supply to the mixer and make shore you get the right voltage to the motor (test on motor connection terminals)if the voltage to the motor is right the motor might be faulty

Cb is buzzing when i hooked it up in the house

If a cobra 29 as indicated here what are you using for power for it? If a base radio as indicated it also has a 12 volt connection--if no problem via the 12 volt connection the fault is in the built in power supply the radio has.

All "Base" radios have 12 volt connection and their own internal power supply to operate off wall voltage.

Can't route effects to two channels of my mixer. If I plug into input 1 of my power amp, I have effects. If i plug into input 2 of my power amp, I get no effects. I tried both Crown and QSC power amps. ...

The power amp is the final stage - the last output from the mixer goes to the power amps.
Its a routing problem - some mixers only allow certain routing and this could be affecting your FX routes.
All the FX - internal or outboard come before power.
Check the manual Check the aux send and returns Check if you need need stereo plugs for the send and return of FX.
Get back if still stuck.

How to connect mixer to a crown power base 2 amp and speakers

just use the main left and right outputs of the behringer to run xlr (3 prong balanced) to 1/4 inch (looks like a big headphone plug) cables into the inputs of the crown amp. the mixer has the xlr outputs and the amp has 1/4 inch inputrs, sop the cables will have to reflect that on both ends. run the outputs of the amp (rca outputs, i believe, you may have to get a rca plug to 1/4 inch jack adapter, and then use a 1/4 inch speaker cable) to the inputs of the speakers, again, the amp has rca outputs and the speakers will likely have 1/4 inputs, so you will have to address that wil an adapter. have each speaker in its own channel.

Loud buzzing while other phone is on base. Switching phones on base has no effect on issue. Taking phone off base hitting 'talk' helps with issue, but buzzing returns upon placement on base..

did you have "buzzing" Before these phones? Anything electrical fan etc on the same circut breaker of your house?. Or buzzing start recently with these already running. It sounds like your describing "electrical noise" and not really a issue with the phoned them selves. Try relocating the base if you have another open wall jack and on another circut. If you notice it goes away check whats all on that circut (wall outlet) that you unplugged the base from. depending on the noise or lack of at the new location it would probly be something running on there. ..
Hope this gives ya a solid start on a fix :)
