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.

Buying advice: 6 channel mixer

Count the mic inputs before you buy

A 6 channel mixer can still differ on mic inputs. The PYLE board has 4 mic/line combo inputs, the Kmise mixer has 4 mic/line mono inputs plus 1 stereo input, and the TKLBLS mixer has 4 XLR inputs plus 2 stereo line inputs. If you record vocals and instruments at once, count how many microphones you plug in at the same time. A mixer with fewer mic inputs than your setup needs will force you to swap cables between takes.

Check phantom power for condenser microphones

Condenser microphones need 48V phantom power from the mixer. The PYLE, Kmise, XTUGA and TKLBLS mixers each carry +48V phantom power, so a condenser microphone can plug straight in. The STABCL unit is a headphone amp that splits one input to 6 headphone outputs for listeners sharing one mix. Match the mixer to the microphone type you own before you buy.

Compare EQ bands and built-in effects

EQ bands decide how much tone shaping each channel gets. The Kmise mixer gives 2-band EQ, the XTUGA mixer gives 3-band EQ, and the TKLBLS mixer gives 3-band EQ per channel plus a 7-band EQ for the main output. The Kmise and TKLBLS mixers also include 99 DSP effects for shaping the output for different scenes. If you want simple tone control, fewer bands are easier to set. If you want finer control over the main output, the 7-band output EQ gives more adjustment.

Frequently asked questions

Do all 6 channel mixers here record to a computer?

The PYLE, Kmise, XTUGA and TKLBLS mixers connect over USB for recording to a computer. The STABCL unit is a headphone amp for sharing one input across 6 headphone outputs. Check the USB connection on the mixer you pick before you buy.

What does 48V phantom power do for a microphone?

Phantom power supplies extra power to condenser style microphones that need it to work. The PYLE, Kmise, XTUGA and TKLBLS mixers each carry +48V phantom power. Dynamic microphones do not need phantom power to work.

Can I stream music over Bluetooth through these mixers?

The PYLE, XTUGA and TKLBLS mixers stream music over Bluetooth from phones, tablets and computers. The Kmise mixer also connects over BT to phones for music, karaoke and live broadcasts. Pair the device you already own and play music through the mixer.

How many headphones can the STABCL amp drive at once?

The STABCL amp has 6 high-power stereo amplifier channels, one for each headphone. Each output channel has its own volume control, so each listener sets a personal level. The amp takes 1 channel of 6.35mm and 3.5mm audio input.
