James - it sounds like you need 2 plugs at the end of the cable that goes in
to the mixer because from what you seem to be saying, the mixer inputs have
a left and right input per channel, so even if you are using a stereo led
from say your laptop, it will just deliver both channels to a single channel
in the mixer, so yes, you will need different cables with 2 inputs on the
mixer end; I'm not sure about the volume level from the mixer, this could be
a number of things depending on the mixer, some mixers have sunken slotted
screw heads close to their corresponding fader, which need to be accessed by
a screw driver, to boost the volume output for that particular fader; I
assume you know your mixer well enough to know if there is a master volume
somewhere on it?

Subject: [access-uk] Mixer Question
| Hi all,
| I have a Bharinger 5 channel mixer, and I would like to connect some
external sources to it like a stereo system, and my laptop. I have all
required cables, and 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapters for them. However, each channel
has 2 inputs. If I connect the cable from say, the laptop to one of the
inputs, the output is very quiet and unclear, and only plays in 1 stereo
channel, the left or the right. This is with the input volume turned up, and
the volume of the laptop also turned up. The same thing happens if I connect
the laptop or stereo to the other input on the channel. So, in short, if I
connect an external source to my mixer, it only plays in the left or right,
and is very quiet and unclear. Do I need to buy a certain type of cable with
2 connecters on the end? Or do I just need to buy a mixer that doesn't suck?
