The Beh##### is a less than stellar piece of gear. It will be noisy and no guarantees how long it will work. Why wouldn't you just use the two mic preamps on the Lambda and be done with it?

That said, what you ask can be done. Your cleanest route is going to be out the 2 track of the B into the line inputs of the Lambda. You'll need two cables with RCA phono plug on one end and a 1/4" TS phone plug on the other.

If everything is routed correctly, yes.

Best value? Not really. It is cheap in the pejorative sense as well as the dollars and cents, is likely to break at any time whether new or old, and has very noisy circuitry. It is one of those pieces of gear that is NOT covered by the "Buy Once Cry Once" clause. There are too many other useful pieces of gear out there.

No. Anything in that price range is garbage. I thought you had a Lambda and were going to get a standalone 2 channel preamp? That gives you four channels. You don't have to sound like you're a garage band if you don't want to. If you're insistent on buying the cheapest Radio Shack or equivalent piece of whatever out there let me know and I'll leave you alone and return to my regular forums.

I am awash in your sarcasm, but truth be told there is very little you can get in this business as far as gear goes under $100.00, maybe cabling, stands, but little else. It seems that everyday there is someone requesting the best mixer, interface, monitors under $100.00, if you find someone selling something used maybe, while $100.00 may be all you can put together and I can truly appreciate that, it just is not really a budget.

jg49, I found your response unnecessary. Obviously you know more about recording than I do since I recently got into it. Maybe you could be a little more helpful as TheJackAttack was because he actually told me that if I put in a little more money (which I can do) then you can get a decent mixer, rather than make a joke out of it.
TheJackAttack, thanks, that's the sort of answer I appreciate and I will certainly look more into spending an extra 60 or 70 bucks even though I was looking for something under $100.
And actually I might be able to do $200, time will tell for me.

That Jack is truly a saint I must admit, and I far from it, but the photo was meant as humor and not at your expense. If it hadn't been 5:30 AM I might have put the $100.00 bill graphic I had first and maybe it would have been funnier (mixer under a hundred dollars.) It was not to put you down, it wasn't really meant to belittle your question and I'm sorry but I still think its funny. I will try and be more helpful in the future and a better person all round, though I seem to be getting rounder ever since I quit smoking two months ago. BTW that was self deprecatory humor or poking fun at oneself.
