We use a Behringer 802 Mic Mixer at our station. No to help tune the audio (the 
radio does that fine) but my wife and i are on together often and we do not 
have to manually switch mics. It took a few mods to do it all, One is the 802 
has the 48 volt phantom voltage and we use PC headsets (CM-500) that need much 
less voltage. I just added a voltage divider to it internally and it works 
fine. The output of the 802 is higher than needed so i made my cable with a 
built in PAD, it was 10s of Db but i do not remember just what.  It also allows 
us to have inputs from the soundcard for voice keying in contests as the line 
is was lower than mic in. 

we also have a behringer headphone amp (4CH) and both work well. The Mic mixer 
does alow slight tuning for the differences between our voices but its not 
wildly adjustable. We do have a unique situation and it worked for us, I assume 
if we each had Heil prosets it would work as well, but i found mine 
uncomfortable and sold them.

as far as the internal settings, i do not have them in front of me but we 
tweaked them after setting the 802 buy getting on the air and getting comments 
from a friend.

settings that were better for me were not as good for my wife so it took some 
compromise.

at least i have a wife that says things like "why dont we get a K3?" and "when 
are we putting up a tower?"
