BEHRINGER FLOW 8 Digital Mixer

BEHRINGER FLOW 8 digital mixer for live sound, recording, and streaming

The BEHRINGER FLOW 8 is a compact 8-input digital mixer with physical 60 mm channel faders, Bluetooth audio, remote control, and a multichannel USB audio interface.

MIC 1 and MIC 2 use balanced XLR inputs with MIDAS microphone preamps and individually switchable +48 V phantom power. MIC 3 and MIC 4 provide balanced XLR / 1/4-inch TRS combo connectors, while stereo channel pairs 5/6 and 7/8 accommodate line-level and high-impedance instrument signals.

EZ-GAIN assists with establishing input gain from the incoming signal. Every input channel includes 4-band EQ, compression, two FX sends, and two monitor sends; the main and monitor outputs add 9-band parametric EQ and limiting.

Two independent effects processors provide 16 presets each. Fifteen snapshots can be stored inside the console, while the FLOW Mix app for iOS and Android provides access to every parameter and manages an additional library of mixer settings.

The USB 2.0 Type-B interface operates at 24-bit / 48 kHz and transfers 10 channels to the computer with 2 return channels. Bluetooth 4.0 separately supports A2DP stereo playback and low-energy app control, making FLOW 8 suitable for live sound, home recording, podcasts, and livestreams.

Main Features

• Eight physical inputs and 60 mm channel faders provide direct control in a compact console.
• Two MIDAS microphone preamps handle primary microphone signals, with individually switchable +48 V phantom power.
• Two XLR / TRS combo inputs accept additional microphones or line-level sources.
• High-impedance instrument inputs connect a guitar or bass directly to the right side of the stereo channels.
• EZ-GAIN assists with setting input gain and reduces the risk of inappropriate level settings.
• Four-band channel EQ and compression provide separate tonal and dynamics processing for every input.
• Two independent effects processors with 16 presets each run two different effects chains simultaneously.
• Two monitor sends create separate monitor mixes for performers.
• Nine-band parametric EQ and limiters on the main and monitor buses shape the outputs and control peaks.
• Bluetooth supports both stereo audio playback and complete remote operation through the FLOW Mix app.
• The USB audio interface sends 10 recording channels to the computer and returns 2 playback channels.
• Fifteen internal snapshot slots recall previously prepared mixer configurations.
