Essential Information About the Behringer FLOW 8 Digital Mixing Console
- 8 inputs in an ultra-compact format with 60 mm faders and wireless control via the FLOW app.
- EZ-GAIN for automatic gain adjustment and snapshot recall to switch scenes instantly.
- Two studio-quality FX engines (reverbs, delays, modulations) and 9-band equalizers on the main/monitor buses.
- 10x2 USB interface at 48 kHz / 24-bit and Bluetooth for playback of backing tracks.
A Concentrate of Behringer Expertise
FLOW 8 draws inspiration from the professional X32, X AIR, and WING series by bringing their "all-digital" spirit to a pocket-sized console. Midas preamps, 32-bit VFP internal processing, and a modern workflow combine to deliver clear and controlled sound in small stage setups as well as home studios.
For Stage, Content Creators, and Education
Whether you are hosting an acoustic duo, a class, a podcast, or a stream, FLOW 8 simplifies essential settings: source balancing, dedicated channel processing, independent monitors, and remote control from iOS/Android to mix from the optimal listening position.
Features That Speed Up Your Workflow
EZ-GAIN and Step-by-Step Guidance
The EZ-GAIN assistant listens to your signals and automatically adjusts the preamps for optimal headroom, even activating 48 V phantom power on inputs 1/2 if necessary. The app also offers assisted setup with presets by source.
Total Control via App
From your smartphone or tablet, adjust the 9-band EQ on the master, channel compressors, monitor mixes, and load snapshots. A footswitch can trigger scene recalls to keep you focused on the performance.
Built-in Effects and Comprehensive Processing
Two independent effects engines offer 16 presets each, ranging from short ambiances to large halls. Each channel features a 4-band EQ, compressors, 2 FX sends, and 2 monitor sends; the main buses and returns add 9-band EQ and limiters.
Multichannel USB and Bluetooth
The USB interface sends up to 10 tracks to your DAW and receives 2 channels for return, ideal for recording and streaming with direct monitoring. The integrated Bluetooth receiver streams your references or intermission music without extra cables.
