How we ranked these audio mixers

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • Mic preamps weight 2

Buying advice: 2 channel mini mixer

Match the jacks to your gear

Start with the plugs on your gear. Guitars and basses use 6.35mm plugs, while phones and laptops use 3.5mm plugs, and older TV gear uses RCA jacks. A mixer with the wrong jacks forces adapters into the chain, so pick the mixer whose inputs already match every source you plan to connect. The YGiTK mixer covers 6.35mm and 3.5mm sources, while the LiNKFOR mixer covers RCA sources.

Decide between passive and powered mixers

Passive mixers need no power supply and keep the setup simple, while powered mixers run on USB power or an adapter. The LiNKFOR and TENEALAY mixers are passive designs, the ESWN mixer runs on USB power, and the SOLUPEAK mixer uses a 12 VDC adapter. If you want consistent performance from an adapter-fed design, the powered options fit that need.

Count inputs, outputs and volume knobs

Every mixer here mixes two inputs into one output, so the choice comes down to control. The YGiTK, LiNKFOR, SOLUPEAK and TENEALAY mixers give each input its own volume control, so you can balance sources instead of fixing one level for both. The YGiTK mixer adds stereo and mono switching plus single and dual channel switching, and the TENEALAY mixer doubles as a splitter box with all controls turned fully clockwise. Check the knob count and the switching options before you buy, since those decide how much control you keep over each source.

Frequently asked questions

Can a 2 channel mini mixer combine two sources at once?

Yes. Each mixer here takes two inputs and sends them to one output, so you can hear two sources together through headphones or speakers.

Do passive mini mixers need a power supply?

No. The LiNKFOR and TENEALAY mixers use passive circuits with no external power, while the ESWN mixer runs on USB power and the SOLUPEAK mixer uses a 12 VDC adapter.

Which mixer here takes RCA sources?

The LiNKFOR mixer. It connects two stereo sources through RCA inputs and sends them to an amplifier or active speakers through one set of stereo RCA outputs.

Can a mini mixer work as a splitter box?

The TENEALAY mixer can. With all controls turned fully clockwise, it works as a 1 in 2 out stereo splitter box for two outputs from one input.
