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: audio mixer for DJ

Count the channels your sets need

Channels decide how many sources you mix. The Pyle PMXU83BT.5 gives 8 channels, the Yamaha MG06 gives 6, and the Pyle PMXU43BT.5, Aveek F4 and DGNOG R4 Pro give 4 each. Count your mics, instruments and media players, then leave a spare channel for a guest. A board with too few channels forces you to share inputs mid-set.

Decide how you want to record

USB recording saves the set without extra gear. The Pyle PMXU83BT.5, Pyle PMXU43BT.5, Aveek F4 and DGNOG R4 Pro record over USB. The Aveek also records to a USB flash drive. Buyers who archive every set need USB recording; buyers who only mix live can ignore it.

Wireless mics and Bluetooth save cables

Wireless inputs cut cable clutter on stage. The DGNOG ships with two wireless mics with about 180 ft of range; the Pyle PMXU83BT.5 streams over Bluetooth 4.0 from 15-plus ft. The Pyle PMXU43BT.5 and Aveek F4 also take Bluetooth music. DJs who move around the room need wireless; DJs who stay behind the board can use cables.
