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 XLR mic

Confirm the XLR input type

Every mixer here takes XLR, but the input layout differs. The FIFINE KS5W and KS6 bundles pair their mixers with XLR dynamic mics, the New Bee GM10 takes XLR mic input with 48V phantom power, and the MAONO bundle pairs an XLR dynamic mic with its mixer. Check whether the XLR input matches your mic.

Decide bundle or mixer only

Three picks are bundles with a microphone in the box, so you can record at once. The New Bee GM10 is a mixer only, for buyers who already own an XLR mic. If you have a favorite mic, buy the mixer; if you start from zero, take a bundle.

Check phantom power for condensers

Condenser mics need 48V phantom power; dynamic mics do not. The FIFINE KS5W, the FIFINE KS6 and the New Bee GM10 each give 48V phantom power on the XLR input. If your mic is dynamic, phantom power does not matter.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need phantom power for an XLR mic?

Condenser XLR mics need 48V phantom power, while dynamic mics do not. The FIFINE KS5W, the FIFINE KS6 and the New Bee GM10 each include 48V phantom power. The MAONO bundle ships an XLR dynamic mic.

Can I use my own XLR microphone with these?

Yes, each mixer here takes XLR input. The New Bee GM10 is built for your own XLR mic with 48V phantom power. The bundles include their own dynamic XLR mics.

What is the difference between the two FIFINE bundles?

The KS5W adds a slider fader and RGB lighting to the mixer, while the KS6 adds an instrument input and 2 channels. Both pair a dynamic XLR mic with 48V phantom power.

Will these work with OBS and Discord?

Yes. The New Bee GM10 works with OBS and Streamlabs over USB, and the MAONO bundle works with OBS Studio, Discord, Twitch and TikTok. The FIFINE bundles work with Audacity, Adobe Audition and FL Studio.
