An audio mixer combines several inputs — microphones, instruments, playback — and lets you adjust level, tone and effects for each before sending them to speakers, monitors or a recorder. Analog mixers have a physical control for every function; digital mixers add recall, built-in effects and remote control from a tablet.
Key specifications are the number and type of channels, aux sends for monitor mixes, built-in effects, USB or multitrack recording, and outputs. Compact mixers suit podcasts and small gigs, while larger consoles serve venues and houses of worship.
On the used market, worn faders and noisy pots are the most common faults, so testing notes matter.
Choosing an audio mixer
- Count the inputs you need now and later — mic, line and stereo channels.
- Check aux sends for monitor mixes, and whether you need built-in effects.
- For recording, confirm USB audio or multitrack output and computer compatibility.
- Ask about scratchy faders, noisy pots and dead channels on used mixers.
- Check power supply voltage and whether rack ears, cases or snakes are included.
Questions about mixers
Should I choose an analog or digital mixer?
Analog mixers are simple and hands-on. Digital mixers offer saved scenes, effects and remote control, which help with recurring events and complex shows.
How many channels do I need?
Count every microphone and instrument you'll plug in, plus playback devices, and leave room to grow.
Can I record directly from a mixer?
Many mixers have USB audio, either as a stereo mix or as separate multitrack channels. Check the listing for the recording features.
