behringer semi-modular synthesizer

"i used a little behringer mixer (mx602a) to make some weird noises like you hear it from circuit bended toys or even modular synthesizers ;). just patch the aux send of your mixer to some inputs and patch some other outs to in as well and you will get some strange noises. there may be better ways to patch it... if you want to try to make some noise too: be careful... use a limiter and a hp-filter, because it will produce some really mean low frequencies... have fun watching an try it out with your own mixers :)"

  1. do you think this can damage the mixer?

  2. I would also like to know if can be damaged in this way.

    I have done this before with my behringer mixer and got some good results. But I dont recall if I blew the channel out or not.

  3. I've been doing zero-input mixing board for 5 years now with the same mixer (a small phonic in my case) and it didn't hurt the mixer. It still works great even as a mixer.
    Anyway, you get a 60 $ analog noise box so even if it dies, you'd buy another.

  4. while it is plausible to blow one of your mic pre's this way, i have doubts that a behr will blow itself out. normally you will need a high input signal to do damage to a channel and since there is no input, we are only recycling signals in the mixer. if you really are conserned, test the voltage passing around or comming out of the mixer, at 5 volts things start getting hurtful (but not too dangerous) 12 volts could be bad!

    just watch your amplifier, those highs and lows aren't nessisarily audible, but they will still pack a punch!
