i just purchase a behringer ub1202 mixer. it has (4) mono channels with either xlr or 1/4" inputs. it has an additional (4) 1/4" L&R stero inputs. all 1/4" inputs are either balanced or unbalanced.

i have sattelite radio, 1/8" stereo output (headphone). when i plug the 1/4" stereo plug from the radio into the mixer, the sound is muddled. if i pull out the cable a little bit, i get clear sound from both channels. same scenario if i plug into the left input of the stereo channel. is that a stereo signal i am getting? should i be using 1/4" mono jacks? help!

welcome to HRC, i've been lookin' for you! lol

yeah you're gonna need a cable that goes from 1/8" stereo to two (2) 1/4" mono plugs, Hosa makes a nice one for under 10 bucks....you're gonna have to plug into two seperate channels on your mixer and pan each hard left and right.

thanks, not to be stupid but do i put two (2) 1/4" mono plugs into one stereo channel (L&R) or two separate mono channels.

on my mixer ub1202, when i plug my headphones into the mixer it doesn't cancel the sound to the speakers. how come?

i have a blue sky monitor system and i plug two rca's into the tape out from the blue sky amp. where should i plug my computer 1/8" from the sound card?

i don't understand the "control room out", main out and fx. any help?

you could do either, i'd stick them into the stereo ins...

your headphones has a seperate volume knob than your speakers...you should be able to pull the main volume fader down and still hear in your headphones...i think.....most have a monitor volume know, i guess that's what the control room is on your mixer, so try pluggin' your speakers into the control room output and see if that helps...

use the 1/4" main outs to go to your computer's 1/8" LINE input...

you're gonna hafta buy some cables to get this all hooked up right, but don't worry, it'll work
