Behringer Flow 8

Assisted Setup for Beginners

Are you new to the world of audio and not sure which signal to put on different inputs? Don’t know how to use the EQ or compressor for dedicated signals? No problem. The FLOW 8 app provides you with a unique setup wizard that takes you step by step to make your music shine. After selecting the type of input, the assistant will offer you presets and tell you where to plug the cables in. Thanks to this innovative feature you can add your instruments and microphones no matter your skill level.

Total Recall of All Settings

Recording a podcast one day and some vocals the next? Are you mixing multiple artists on the same gig? FLOW 8 is your permanent companion for various audio applications where you need a perfectly tweaked preset available on your fingertips within seconds. The integrated snapshot library and the possibility to store unlimited snapshots per FLOW 8 app gives you instant, unlimited power. STORE, EDIT and LOAD mixer settings via the hardware or app instantaneously. You can even trigger snapshot loading with a connected footswitch to bring your performance to life. The FLOW Mix app even provides a recall-scope to load FX, Channel, Main, Monitor or Routing-Options separately (requires firmware 11739 or above). While the hardware provides 15 internal storage-slots for snapshot presets, the app can store an unlimited library of snapshots sorted by name, date and time.

Outstanding Audio Quality (on the Go)

With two Midas microphone preamps and internal 32 VFP-Processing, FLOW 8 joins the X32, X-AIR and WING Series of digital mixing consoles. Even though the form factor and number of I/O is specifically tailored to smaller setups, each individual channel offers crystal clear audio and keeps up with its ancestors’ sound quality. All channels offer 4-band parametric EQ, compression, as well as 2 FX and 2 monitor sends. All the monitor and main buses feature 9-band parametric EQ and a limiter for preventing unexpected volume peaks on your speakers.

Looking for that Big Sound?

There is reverb and then there is REVERB. FLOW 8 features two independent studio-grade effects engines, each with 16 presets for refining your instruments and vocals with breathtaking effects sounds and depth.

12 Reverb programs span from a very short yet lively Ambience to very long and smooth Temple or Stadium simulations. All of them come in two flavors and their decay time can be adjusted continuously. In addition to that you will get various delay and modulation effects for all styles and applications.

Built-in Bluetooth Streaming

Since compact loudspeakers are dominating the consumer market, Bluetooth has established itself as a standard for audio-connections in the consumer world. Mini-jack sockets are being replaced more and more and many smartphones and tablets require special adapters to output analogue audio signals. Therefore, FLOW 8 offers an integrated Bluetooth receiver, that enables you to comfortably play music in between performances without annoying adapters and the need of being close to the mixing console all the time.

The BT audio connection for playing audio back can be connected independently from the FLOW 8 remote application. While using BT Audio for playback on one mobile device, BT LE can be used separately on another device for the control application, if you wish.

FLOW 8 CLAMP Option – Simple and Solid

The optional FLOW 8 CLAMP is based on the original TC Helicon PERFORM Series side cap design, which uses a special material that combines extreme longevity and a dependable, firm connection with the mic stand. It consists of a metal bracket that is screwed to the mixer and a proprietary plastic part that clips on to the mic-stand without any screws. You can choose to mount the clamp to the bracket in 3 angles (0°, 15°, 30°) depending on your preferred mixer orientation.

The FLOW 8 CLAMP is designed to bring your FLOW 8 mixer within reach during your performance. On stage for a small club gig or in a recording setup, the best place will often be right at your microphone stand. It avoids unnecessary cable clutter and keeps the control surface of your FLOW 8 mixer permanently accessible. The clamp is designed for standard 5/8” microphone stands diameter (not exceeding 16.5 mm).

USB Multi-Channel Interface

The internal USB interface offers separate modes for streaming and recording applications, providing up to 10 recording tracks and 4 playback channels. Either the main mix or all input signals can be streamed or recorded individually. This makes FLOW 8 the ideal partner for DAW home recording with zero-latency monitoring, streaming and podcasting. No additional USB audio interface required. All Input signals and the Main stereo mix can be sent to audio applications on a Mac-, Windows- or Linux-based system for recording, editing or streaming.

Whether you’re a singer, songwriter, small ensemble, teacher or presenter, gamer, podcaster or video blogger, producing at home or playing live in bars, café houses or in the streets, when practicing or performing… FLOW 8 will ensure impeccable audio quality and help you create amazing sound with ease.
