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.

  • Mic preamps weight 2

Buying advice: 6 channel mixer with effects

Match channels to your sources

Count how many sources you mix at once. All five mixers here have 6 channels, so the choice turns on inputs and effects, not channel count. The Pyle mixer has 16 DSP effects and a 7-band EQ, the BOMGE mixer has 16 DSP effects, the Kmise mixer has 99 DSP effects and the Gravity mixer has 24 GigFX effects. Check how many mic inputs you need: the Yamaha mixer has 2 XLR inputs, the BOMGE mixer has 4 XLR combo inputs and the Kmise mixer has 4 MIC/LINE mono inputs plus 1 stereo input.

Check phantom power for condenser mics

The Pyle, BOMGE, Kmise and Gravity mixers have 48V phantom power, and the Yamaha mixer has 2 phantom-powered XLR inputs. If you use condenser mics, confirm the mixer has enough mic inputs for them before you buy. Dynamic mics and instruments use line inputs instead, so count those inputs too.

Compare effects, EQ and computer links

Effects counts differ across this group: 16 DSP effects on the Pyle and BOMGE mixers, 99 DSP effects on the Kmise mixer and 24 GigFX effects on the Gravity mixer. EQ differs too, with a 7-band EQ on the Pyle mixer and a 2-band EQ on the Kmise and Gravity mixers. For recording to a computer, the Pyle, BOMGE and Kmise mixers have a USB soundcard or USB interface, and the Yamaha mixer adds LOOPBACK for blending computer audio into a stream.

Frequently asked questions

What does 48V phantom power do on a mixer?

It powers condenser microphones through the XLR input, so a condenser mic works with the mixer.

How many channels do I need for a small setup?

A 6-channel mixer covers a mic, an instrument and a stereo source at once, with room for more inputs. All five mixers here have 6 channels, so compare mic inputs, effects and EQ instead of channel count.

Can I record a mixer straight to a computer?

Yes. The Pyle and BOMGE mixers have a USB soundcard for recording to a Mac or PC, and the Kmise mixer has a USB interface for recording straight to a PC. The Yamaha mixer adds LOOPBACK, which blends microphone, game and music audio for a stream.

Do these mixers work for live streaming?

Yes. The BOMGE, Kmise and Yamaha mixers are built for live streaming, and the Pyle mixer covers live scenes with Bluetooth and effects.
