How we ranked these audio mixers

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and 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.

  • Mixer channels / decks weight 3
  • Mic preamps weight 2
  • USB audio to computer weight 2
  • Built-in effects / amp models weight 1
  • 48V phantom power weight 1

Buying advice: 2 channel mixer with effects

Count channels before you buy

Channels decide how many sources you mix at once. The Pyle pick has 6 channels, the Riworal, TKLBLS, and MIZISNR picks have 4 channels each, and the Numark pick has 2 channels. Count your microphones, instruments, and playback sources first, then pick the channel count that covers them.

Compare effects and EQ controls

Effects add reverb and delay to a mix, and EQ adjusts high, mid, and low frequencies on a channel. The Pyle pick has DSP effects with a 3-band EQ on each channel, the Riworal pick has 16 DSP effects, and the TKLBLS and MIZISNR picks have 99 DSP effects each. Check the effect count and the EQ bands before you buy, since both differ across these picks.

Check USB, Bluetooth, and phantom power

USB audio, Bluetooth, and 48V phantom power decide what you can connect. The Pyle, Riworal, TKLBLS, and MIZISNR picks have USB audio, Bluetooth, and 48V phantom power, while the Numark pick is a 2-channel DJ mixer that includes Serato DJ Pro. If you need a condenser microphone, look for 48V phantom power, and if you stream music from a phone, look for Bluetooth.

Frequently asked questions

How many channels do I need on a mixer?

Count the sources you mix at once. The Pyle pick has 6 channels, three picks have 4 channels, and the Numark pick has 2 channels, so match the count to your microphones, instruments, and playback sources.

What does 48V phantom power do on a mixer?

It powers condenser microphones connected to the XLR inputs. The Pyle, Riworal, TKLBLS, and MIZISNR picks have 48V phantom power, so check for it when you plan to use a condenser microphone.

Can I record to a computer with these mixers?

The Pyle, Riworal, TKLBLS, and MIZISNR picks have USB audio for recording to a computer. For the Numark pick, check the software details, since it is a DJ mixer that includes Serato DJ Pro.

What is the difference between 4-channel and 2-channel mixers?

A 4-channel mixer takes more sources at once than a 2-channel mixer. The Riworal, TKLBLS, and MIZISNR picks have 4 channels, while the Numark pick has 2 channels for DJ use.
