Weird I can't find any info on that one either - even from Behringer. Does the mixer have insert jacks on the mic channels anywhere?

How Many use a compressor
All the effects are wonderful ONLY if you understand how they work AND how to use them. A complete nightmare if you do not.

Compressors
Hi all just reading through some of your posts, I use a behringer MDX2600 and i compress the whole mix, as it keeps all of the mixer output in check therefore protecting your bass bins and your tops from damage. It also has a limiter to protect everything whilst you have toilet break and some enthusiastic menber of the crowd tries to crank it up when your not there. I have the ratio set to 2.1 and attack set at -10 dec and the auto button pressed and the compresser does the rest. The xlr outputs go then to my x/over. Simple. Most CD's are compressed this way before printed as to keep the Volumes uniform across the mix.
Cheers.

Ok in this case i'd still opt to run it inline with the mics over compressing the entire mix.
