Moukey Compact Studio Audio Stereo Mixer, 4 Channels DC 5V for Clubs Bars Stage Mixing Desk Guitar Bass Keyboard, MAMX1

This thing is incredible, especially for the low price.You can have either 8 stereo or 8 mono inputs.The stereo inputs are a normal headphone out jack which is TRS. The other end I use a Y cable left & right into my the synths.With a single mono output I use a TS cable into the mixer. The sound comes out in the middle and not panned to one side.This mixer is solid, well built and extremely quiet. I heard a tiny bit of noise but found out I had the volume on both the input gain and headphone out at full volume.The noise was actually coming from my Korg Volca DrumCannot comment on longevity of the unit but at the time of writing this I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Great little box, does exactly what I need it for, which is connecting a backing track from a laptop, connection from a headphone jack on a guitar amp and an 'out' for the headphones. Four independent volume controls for each input device makes it easy to set up, and a master volume control for the headphones/output. There is a little bit of background noise at high volumes but only noticeable when there is no music playing. Very happy with this indeed.

Knocked off a star as the first one was doa. Had to send it back. This could be an issue with QC standards in the manufacturing process. Ordered another the very same day and arrived in the mail the next. Hats off to Amazon for the quick delivery.1. Build:Sturdy metal. Can presumably take a fall without breaking into two but unsure if its internals wont be rearranged if it did.Looks bigger in pictures but I was surprised that its really small and fits snugly under my synth stand and I can grab it with my hand and have a few fingers wrapped around too.Knobs are okay and looks like need breaking in but after the first time give way and become less tighter.2. Architecture:As it says on the tin. I went for the 8ch variant. 8 mono which can be converted to 8 stereo channels with the push of a button (havent experimented yet but should be able to take 16 mono in stereo mode if receiving split signals, theoretically).Output A serves the top 4 channels.Output B serves the bottom 4 channels.The Mix button replicates the outputs across A and B.3. Thoughts:Overall a good mixer. Low noise using the same usb cable as supplied and connected to my Sampler's USB port through a non powered hub. I am primarily using this to connect all my synths, ipad, zynthian into my sampler as it has only 2 inputs.4. To consider if planning to use with synths:I planned on using this with my synths to play and record them stereophonically on my sampler. The guide mentions that you should use 1/4" TRS to TRS Male cables for stereo sound from your hardware to the mixer. But most of my synths have separate L and R channels with 1/4" outs and the stereo out (usually headphone) is a 1/8" mini port.So I went for bi directional Dual Mono TS to TRS cables (all 1/4" on both sides) to combine mono synth outputs into a stereo signal at the TRS end which would then go into my mixer. I haven't been able to make this work using this simple logic. IDK but maybe instead of preserving the stereo image at the mixer end the cables simply sum up the L and R of my synths.Also there is no documentation of whether or not the outputs are balanced mono unbalanced stereo and expect TRS jacks for conveying sound into outboard/external gear.Hope someone knows the answer and can help me out with this.

Awesome

Bought this to combine my PC video training output and my bass guitar into my headset and it works a charm.

Just what I was looking for at a very reasonable price point to use as a practice tool for my guitar.It allowed the playing of mp3 backing tracks along with the guitar output, both of which were easily mixed to produce a good sound.The downside: the C5 power cable as supplied was faulty however, not worth the bother of sending it back as the replacement would likely be of a similar budget quality.

Outstanding, a real sea change in mini mixers (and I've used them all).Astonishingly, it's actually dead quiet, solidly built and reliable. I'm buying more.

This is a great little piece of kit with little being the key word! Measuring slightly over 6" long it packs in mixing capabilities for six inputs with virtually no noise at all (certainly my amp made more noise than the mixer added).I really appreciate the fantastic range of power options available as the unit is fed by a USB power lead. This means it can be operated by a battery pack (great for buskers) or directly from a USB plug or strip. It's stylish and sturdy metal box looks great on my desk next to the computer, but was bought to mix our band together before putting the signal into the main mixer desk and recorder.Easily balances the inputs added so that I could move from vocals, pedals, guitar, bass and ukulele without having to change the settings on the amplifier (in fact once the levels had been checked on this nifty little mixer, I could just use the volume control from the pickup whilst playing. It does 'boost' the signal making it a 'mixer-preamp'Not sure how the stereo input/output works at present as there is no facility to pan the inputs right or left. I suspect this means that they would operate as 'straight through' with any mono inputs pushed into the middle of the stereo signal - useful if you're running a stereo FX pedal through the system though.A small niggle is the lack of a clear level marker on the mixing knobs - easily rectified with a blob of Tipex (I've just discovered there is a mark but it has to catch the light).I can imagine that a multi-instrumentalist (or somebody with lots of keyboards) will love this little mixer as a "local" control before entering the mixing desk (this is the scenario shown in the instruction manual)As a lightweight, almost pocket sized mixer which adds very little or no noise, this will earn its place in my gig bag even if I'm just going to be using the two inputs for instrument and voice.
