Mix:
•
All other mixing console functions fall under this vital category. Creating a
mix means primarily adjusting the volume levels of individual instruments
and voices to one another as well as giving them the appropriate weight
within the overall frequency spectrum. Likewise, you’ll have to sensibly
spread individual voices across the stereo image of a signal. At the end of
this process, adjusting the level of the entire mix to other equipment in the
signal path is required (e. g. recorder/crossover/amplifier).
The control surface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized in such a way
that these functions become easy to fulfill while the signal path remains
simple to follow.

understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups
according to their function. If you need to know more about specific issues,
