How we ranked these audio mixers

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has 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: home audio mixer

Count the channels you use at once

Channels decide how many sources you can mix at the same time. The Kaschun mixer has 8 channels, the SIKUING mixer has 12 channels, and the IOENC mixer has 16 channels, while the SonixForce mixer and the BOMGE mixer have 6 channels each. Count microphones, guitars, and USB sources before choosing, and leave room for one more source than your current setup uses.

Check phantom power for condenser microphones

Condenser microphones need 48V phantom power from the mixer. The Kaschun mixer, the SIKUING mixer, the SonixForce mixer, the IOENC mixer, and the BOMGE mixer all provide 48V phantom power, and the SIKUING mixer provides it for all channels while the BOMGE mixer provides it independently on four channels. If your microphone is a condenser type, confirm the mixer supplies phantom power before pairing them.

Compare EQ bands and built-in effects

EQ bands shape tone per channel, and built-in effects add reverb and depth to a mix. The Kaschun mixer has 2-band EQ per channel, while the SIKUING mixer and the SonixForce mixer have 3-band EQ. The SonixForce mixer and the BOMGE mixer apply 99 DSP effects, and the SIKUING mixer has a 16DSP sound processor option. Compare the EQ bands first, then the effects, since both change the tone of a mix.

Frequently asked questions

What does 3-band EQ control on a mixer?
