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

Buying advice: audio mixer for home

Count the channels you will use

Channel count decides what plugs in at once. The Yamaha MG10XU names 10 inputs, while the Pyle, Riworal and Yamaha MG06 each name 6 channels. The FIFINE runs one XLR mic plus line and headphone channels for a solo streamer. Buy the count you will actually fill.

Check phantom power for condenser mics

Condenser microphones need 48V phantom power from the mixer. The Pyle, FIFINE and Riworal each name 48V phantom power, so any of the three can run a condenser mic. Dynamic mics do not need it. If your mic is a USB mic, use a USB port instead, since these mixers take XLR.

Decide how it connects to a computer

USB to a computer changes how you record. The Pyle, Yamaha MG10XU and Riworal each name a USB connection to a computer, and the FIFINE connects over USB-C with a 3.5mm line input for a phone or tablet. The Yamaha MG06 connects through analog TRS or XLR outputs instead.

Frequently asked questions

How many mixer channels do I need at home?

Count what plugs in at once: a mic and a guitar need two channels, while a full drum kit needs more. The Pyle, Riworal and Yamaha MG06 each name 6 channels, and the MG10XU names 10 inputs. Start with the count you will fill.

Do I need 48V phantom power?

Only if you use a condenser microphone. The Pyle, FIFINE and Riworal each name 48V phantom power, so they can power one. Dynamic mics and line-level gear do not need it.

Can I stream Bluetooth music through a mixer?

With the right mixer, yes. The Pyle and Riworal each name Bluetooth streaming from phones and tablets. The FIFINE takes a 3.5mm line input for wired playback.
