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

Buying advice: 4 channel audio mixer

Decide if you need power

Power needs split these picks into two groups. The Pyle and Mackie picks run on a power adapter, while the LiNKFOR and PROZOR picks need no power supply, and the YGiTK pick runs on Type-C power. Check your setup before you buy, since a passive mixer and a powered mixer connect differently.

Compare inputs and outputs

Inputs and outputs decide what you can plug in. The Pyle pick has XLR and 1/4-inch combo inputs, the Mackie pick has 2 mic inputs and 4 line inputs, and the LiNKFOR and PROZOR picks have RCA inputs. The YGiTK pick has 6.35 mm and 3.5 mm jacks, so match the jacks to your gear before you buy.

Check phantom power and Bluetooth

Phantom power and Bluetooth appear on only some picks here. The Pyle pick has 48V phantom power and Bluetooth within 15 ft, and the Mackie pick has phantom power on its 2 Onyx mic preamps. If you use a condenser microphone, look for phantom power, and if you stream from a phone, look for Bluetooth.
