BEHRINGER XENYX802 8-input 2-bus Analog Mixer
Ok guys just wanted a bit of advice and thought this would be the best place to post. Basically i need a small mix/audio interface that i can plug a mic and my DJ equipment into and then send the master from that into the line in on my comp so i can record. Just got a radio show and need to be able to do all of that but dont have a way of pluging a mic in. So i was looking at a BEHRINGER XENYX802 8-input 2-bus Analog Mixer and it looks like it will do everything i want but just wanted to know if its worth the $90 for it. Will it do all that i have said up there and how is the sound quality on it (for those that have used it before). Thanks
Chris
any multi input will work with a phantom for the mic.
sweet 
another question i wanted to ask is will the RCA CD outputs be the same out put that is comng through the master beacuse i only have RCA input on my soundcard not 1/4"

The mixer should have phantom power to power mic's that need phantom power.
You can also plug in a normal mic and that would be perfect for your radio show.
You should be able to send the rca record out to the line in of your basic soundcard, you can get rca to 3.5 jack plug to record your show into your computer.
I know a lot of my friends dj live at the weekend and i think that's how they record into their computer.
Or another way i think would be to send the group outs to the line in of your soundcard.
You look clued up so you should be able to work it out, also have a look at the yamaha mg series mixers.
The mixer you have seen should do the job you need, i'm new to gear myself, hope this helps a little.
What DJ mixer you got? Does it have mic input? You can get a cheap mic preamp for like $20 and run it into one of your available channels on the DJ mixer. IF all you need is to add a talkover mic, then the simpler you make it, the better it is.
I think its also possible to connect dynamic mic into your phono input, through a small ceramic capacitor, which should knock all the bass off your dynamic mic. You need this cap to compensate for RIAA phono equalization. Otherwise you voice will sound too boomy, hard to understand. The cost is like $0.25 at your local radio shack. I am going to try this method later today, cause now i am curious to see if it works good enough to keep you from spending $90.
EDIT: whoops, i see you are not from USA, i guess you can easily find a cap somewhere else.
