Using the Behringer Q1204USB Mixer is straightforward. First, connect your microphones to the XENYX Mic Preamps. You can adjust the sound using the 'British' channel EQs and the 'one - knob' compressors for the best audio quality. If you want to use a wireless system, make sure it's Behringer's high - quality digital one (you'll need to get the mic separately). For recording, connect the mixer to your computer via the USB/audio interface and start using the free software. When it comes to the aux sends, use the pre - fader one for monitoring and the post - fader one for external FX devices. Remember, the power supply can work with 100 - 240 V~, so you can use it almost anywhere. As for maintenance, keep the mixer clean and dry. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Check the faders and rotary controls regularly to make sure they're working smoothly. And if you're not using it for a long time, store it in a safe place.
