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.

Mixer channels / decks weight 3

Buying advice: professional mixing boards

Count channels before you choose a mixer

Count the sources you will connect at once, including microphones, instruments and playback devices, and match that count to the channel count. A mixer with too few channels forces you to swap cables during a session, while a mixer with spare channels leaves room for an extra source later. Check the input types as well, since input types suit different sources, and check the output count as well for headphones and monitors.

Check phantom power and EQ before buying

Phantom power supplies condenser microphones, so check for it before pairing a mixer with a condenser microphone. EQ bands let you adjust tone for each channel, and more bands give finer control over separate frequency ranges. Compare the EQ band count and the phantom power supply across the mixers above, then match both to the microphones and sources you will connect.

Compare effects, Bluetooth and USB connections

Built-in effects add reverb and delay without extra units, while Bluetooth playback lets you send audio wirelessly from a phone or computer. A USB connection can carry audio to a computer for recording or streaming, so check whether the mixer you want includes that link. Match the connection set to the sources you already own.
