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
Built-in effects / amp models weight 1
48V phantom power weight 1

Buying advice: audio mixer under 300

Count the channels and the weight

Channel count and weight set how the board fits your space. The Phenyx Pro PTX-15 carries 4 channels at 4.6 lb, the FULUODE CT-80S carries 8 channels at 7.3 lb, the Behringer XENYX 802S carries 8 inputs at 3.5 lb, the Yamaha MG06 carries 6 channels at 2 lb and the BOMGE BM-05 carries 5 channels at 1.7 lb. Match both numbers to your desk and your carry bag.

Read the effects and the EQ

Built-in effects save you from outboard gear. The Phenyx Pro PTX-15 carries 16 DSP effects with a 3-band EQ per channel and a 5-band stereo graphic EQ, and the BOMGE BM-05 carries echo and delay with a 2-band EQ. The FULUODE names reverb, the Behringer keeps analog EQ for streaming, and the Yamaha pairs a 3-band EQ with a 1-knob compressor. Match the effects to your set.

Check the warranty and the inputs

Warranty terms differ here: the FULUODE carries 365 days, the Yamaha MG06 carries 1 year and the BOMGE BM-05 carries 1 year. Inputs differ too: the Phenyx Pro carries four XLR combo inputs, the BOMGE carries 3 XLR inputs with phantom, and the Behringer carries 8 analog inputs. Read the term and the inputs before you pick.
