Hi people,

There's no FX on it, is there?

[The_Blue_Dragon]

Its says in the instructions that it has Effects



You can patch a mono or stereo outboard effects processor into your DX1000 via the effect send [35] and return [54]
jacks on the back panel. Now you can effect your voice instantly simply by punching the illuminated
EFFECT button [9]. The effect send level is dependent on the fader setting. Adjust the desired amount of
effect (from -oo to +30 dB) by the EFFECT RETURN knob [42] to the right of the bargraph meters.

No, that's an external effects processor that you can plug in and use the send and return on the mixer.

So its not any good then?

I need a new mixer asap and only have about £100 :( is that possible

Take a look at the Xenyx range.

[Jiggles]

make sure its the 1002 FX if it doesn't have FX at the end then there is no effects processor built in.

[The_Blue_Dragon]

Ok thanks for that info.

So you think this one will be ok then?

Depends on how many Mics you want.

[The_Blue_Dragon]

2 minimum and I just use 1 laptop

[Jiggles]

Then should be fine then. I have a Eurorack 1832FX. Good mixer.

I bought a Behringer Xenyx 1622fx for Karaoke about 6 months ago and can't fault it, a very good buy.

Partly cos I like to have options, I'd see if you could stretch the budget this far.

And while I accept it blows your budget out of the water, as Gazzak says, I'd prefer this. ( cos I prefer sliders to rotaries. )

A year or so ago I bought a cheap mixer to hire out with Radio Mic's and PA which would probably do what you want (onboard Digital Fx, 4 microphone channels, 2 x stereo line in and all the inputs and outputs you could ever want - including USB in/out for direct connecting a laptop).

However, I paid £95 for it new at Maplin's and I have NO idea how they've managed to price this at £179.99 now!

becareful with the minimix, They are renowned for psu failuire, cant go with the xenyx range from behry

Depends on how many Mics you want.

This is what I was thinking. 2 balanced mic inputs (XLR) seem a bit tight for karaoke. I always have four set up on my mixer.

From the sales waffle:

The XENYX 1002FX mixer produced and developed by Behringer, who are a world-leading designer, manufacturer and distributors of professional audio equipment, musical instruments and their related products
