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

Buying advice: audio mixer for streaming

Count the mic inputs for co-hosted streams

A stream with two hosts needs two mic inputs at once. The Nuoxiange F668 takes two microphone inputs at the same time, which suits interviews and co-hosted podcasts. If you stream solo, one XLR input covers your mic, and you can compare channels, controls and sound pads instead.

Check phantom power for condenser mics

Condenser microphones need 48V phantom power from the mixer. All three picks here carry 48V phantom power, so each one powers a condenser mic. Dynamic mics do not need it, so check your mic type before you weigh the other specs.

Match channels and controls to your stream

Channels decide how many sources you mix at once. The Nuoxiange F668 has 2 channels, the MAONO G1 Neo has 4 channels and the FIFINE SC8W has 7 channels. A Game/Chat dial on the FIFINE SC8W balances game audio and chat, while the MAONO G1 Neo adds loopback and one-click mute for game streaming.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need 48V phantom power for streaming?

If you use a condenser microphone, yes. All three mixers here carry 48V phantom power, so each one powers a condenser mic for your stream. Dynamic mics run without it.

Can I stream with two microphones at once?

Yes, with the Nuoxiange F668, which takes two microphone inputs at the same time. That suits co-hosted podcasts and interviews. The MAONO G1 Neo and the FIFINE SC8W each carry an XLR input for a solo streamer.

What does a Game/Chat dial do on a mixer?

It balances game audio against team chat on the FIFINE SC8W, so you can raise chat or game sound without leaving your game. The dial works with mute and volume controls for quick changes mid-stream.

Can I use these mixers with a phone?

Yes. The Nuoxiange F668 works with Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, the MAONO G1 Neo works with phones, computers and tablets, and the FIFINE SC8W works with PC, PS5, Switch and mobile devices.
