General
Studio-grade sound processing gear usually comes with one or two drawbacks since more bulky mixers are generally more expensive and harder to get from A to B. Fortunately, Behringer offer a superb alternative solution in the form of the FLOW 8: a compact all-rounder of a digital mixer that offers modern functions, a smooth workflow, and both podcast and stage-ready features.
The FLOW 8: Bluetooth and App Control!
One of the biggest eye-catchers is the integrated Bluetooth interface, which allows you to use the FLOW 8 from your smartphone or tablet via the Android/iOS control app. The app provides access to a 9-band EQ, a compressor for bass-heavy instruments, real-time setting tweaks and, arguably best of all, a handy 'assisted setup' function that'll show you the ropes of using the FLOW 8 in combination with instruments.
Reverb, Reverb and More Reverb
Behringer naturally haven't forgotten to cram a bunch of effects into the FLOW 8, including a particularly superb reverb that runs on two independent effect engines with 16 presets each. From short-yet-impactful to seemingly endless stadium reverb, it's all there and you even get to freely adjust the decay time. Next to all kinds of reverb, the FLOW 8 houses delay and various modulation effects but, since it's equipped with not one but two FX sends, you could just as easily mix in some of your own effects.

It's well made and quite intuitive to use, and the Flow app seems to work fine with both ipad and Android phone.
I would have preferred a more robust power input than the micro USB connection, but I guess I'll just have to keep that out of harm's way.
I'm hoping to keep this for a good while and get lots of use from it :)
De Flow8 is daar perfect voor! Net wat overkill (heb een paar ingangen over) maar er is niets beters/kleiners te krijgen op de markt. De basis is heel goed te regelen op het apparaat zelf met de knoppen en sliders. De uitgebreidere instellingen gaan behoorlijk intuitief via de app.
Helemaal geweldig is dat het ook een 8/2 audio interface is! Alle ingangen worden naar je DAW gestuurd en de output van je DAW komt weer binnen op de mixer. Een kale audio interface met dit aantal ingangen/uitgangen is niet te vinden voor het bedrag van de Flow. Goede deal dus!
Ook prettig dat er meteen wat reverb op b.v. de microfooningang te zetten is zodat je niet perse een DAW nodig hebt als je wat zit te oefenen/spelen. Erg tevreden over!
Enige aanmerking tot nu toe is dat een micro-USB als voeding wat iel aanvoelt. Nog geen problemen mee gehad maar USB-C of gewoon een jack was wat steviger/degelijker geweest.
1 klein dingetje, bij het aanzetten komt er een ruis, alsof je de zee hoort.
dit word steeds harder en ebt dan weg, na een klein minuutje.
mss een couponnetje dat warm moet lopen, ik weet het niet. mss heeft nog iemand dit ervaren ?
Is een toppertje, maar ik zou het fijn vinden als ik wist wat dit was.
De effecten zijn van prima kwaliteit, de reverbs klinken zelfs zeer goed. Zeer stille mic-preamps, hier kunnen diverse andere merken een puntje aan zuigen.
Het ontbreken van gemotoriseerde faders is jammer maar slim opgelost door toepassen van het 'offset' ledje.... geniaal. De Flow8 is een echte 'alles-in-1' mengtafel.
Gelukkig gewoon met schuiven, de overige instellingen via de app, kleine scherm is niet heel erg werkbaar maar voor nood is het te doen. App is prima, genoeg om aan te passen maar niet te veel.
Ik heb er 2 gekocht, de enne is voor de zang van de band en de andere voor de instrumenten. Ik gebruik twee gescheiden systemen omdat de zang dan veel beter op de mix komt.
Hierdoor, in combinatie met een LD koptelefoon versterker heb ik 4 monitor outs om voor, dit gaf mij net genoeg mogelijkheden om de inears mix te krijgen die we nodig hebben.
Alles komt in 1 kist en de kabels kunnen aan de mixers blijven hangen, uitrollen koppelen en klaar.
Klein, simpel maar met genoeg mogelijkheden.
Geluid is echt erg goed en bluetooth is super.
