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 stereo mixer

Count the channels you need first

Channels decide how many sources you mix at once. The SIKUING and the GUDEHOLO each have 6 channels, the Haivenliuy has 8 channels, and the LiNKFOR has 2 channels. Count microphones, instruments and playback devices you plan to connect at the same time, then pick a channel count that covers them all.

Check phantom power for condenser microphones

Condenser microphones need 48V phantom power from the mixer. The SIKUING, the GUDEHOLO and the Haivenliuy each have 48V phantom power, while the LiNKFOR works with line-level sources only. If you plan to plug in a condenser microphone, pick a mixer with 48V phantom power.

Match the connections to your sources

Bluetooth, USB and RCA inputs decide which devices you can connect without extra gear. The SIKUING has Bluetooth 5.0 and a USB audio interface, the Haivenliuy has Bluetooth and a USB socket, and the GUDEHOLO has RCA stereo inputs for an audio player, iPad or TV. The LiNKFOR uses 3.5mm and RCA ports for line-level devices such as a PC, phone or tablet. List your sources first, then match them to the inputs each mixer has.

Frequently asked questions

How many channels does a home stereo mixer need?

It depends on how many sources you mix at once. The LiNKFOR covers 2 sources, the SIKUING and the GUDEHOLO cover 6 channels each, and the Haivenliuy covers 8 channels. Count your microphones, instruments and playback devices before you buy.

Do I need phantom power for my microphone?

Condenser microphones need 48V phantom power, and the SIKUING, the GUDEHOLO and the Haivenliuy each have it. Dynamic microphones and line-level devices do not need it, so the LiNKFOR suits sources that need no phantom power.

Can I stream music over Bluetooth to these mixers?

Yes, on the SIKUING and the Haivenliuy, which both have Bluetooth. The SIKUING uses Bluetooth 5.0 for smartphones and tablets, and the Haivenliuy streams from music streaming platforms. The GUDEHOLO and the LiNKFOR connect through wired inputs instead.

What comes in the box with the SIKUING mixer?

The box holds the mixer, a power supply and a manual. The LiNKFOR box includes 2 audio cables and a certified power adapter for its line-level mixing.
