The Behringer FLOW 8 is an incredibly compact and highly versatile 8-input digital mixer, perfectly suited for studio and recording equipment setups, small live gigs, and streaming applications. This device bridges the gap between traditional tactile mixing with physical faders and the advanced processing power of a digital console. Featuring built-in Bluetooth connectivity, a dedicated remote control app, and a multi-channel USB audio interface, the FLOW 8 delivers massive capabilities in a lightweight enclosure weighing just 1.4 kg.
The mixer is equipped with two Midas-designed microphone preamps featuring +48V phantom power, two universal Mic/Line (combo) inputs, and two pairs of stereo line inputs. One of these stereo pairs offers Hi-Z compatibility for directly connecting guitars or basses. Every input channel features a 4-band EQ and a compressor, while the Main and two Monitor outputs are fitted with a 9-band graphic EQ and a limiter to prevent unexpected volume peaks. The innovative EZ-Gain feature allows for automatic gain staging, drastically simplifying and speeding up your setup process before a show or recording session.
Onboard, you will find two independent studio-grade effect engines, each offering 16 presets (including reverbs, delays, and modulation effects), with dedicated tap tempo and mute controls. The built-in USB interface allows for 24-bit/48 kHz multitrack recording and playback, while the additional Bluetooth audio channel lets you stream backing tracks directly from your smartphone. The unit is powered via a standard Micro-USB connection, meaning it can easily be run off a standard power bank for truly mobile mixing situations.
