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.

Match inputs and outputs to your setup

Inputs and outputs decide what you can connect. The Kaschun mixer has XLR and 6.35mm jacks with USB audio to a computer. The Depusheng mixer has XLR line inputs, RCA stereo inputs and RCA and 6.35mm main outputs. The ESWN mixer has two 3.5mm inputs and one output for headphones and powered speakers.
