8 Channel Audio Mixer Sound Board Mixer 16 DSP Effect Audio Interfacer w/USB Drive for Computer Recording, 48V Power, XLR Microphone Jack DJ Mixer for Karaoke Studio Streaming Recording

This is a great mixing board for beginners and pros! I found this easy to use right out of the box, though the instructions help a lot to ensure you get everything out of this great system. I was most interested in something sturdy and well-designed because the more devices you have hooked up, the more important connection quality is. This has great connections, knobs are tight, this all looks high quality. Even the power plug has a very sturdy reinforced screw-in design to ensure there is NO way you will accidentally unplug this unit mid-mix.I am using mixer to bring in a another stream of audio using a separate digital mixer for the ultimate control over one of my steams, but once on the board this is working and sounding great. I can connect storage devices or sound devices plenty. I have tested out the tape in/out for other external source and delivery options and that is working great too.The LEDs look really nice and bright and help with the overall flow of the device. I really like the digital panel that you can cycle through to select the types of inputs you can bring in like a bluetooth signal or a mp3 player. I have tried both so far - one at a time in this case - and they work great. Bluetooth was a breeze to sync up.So far I have not picked up on any sound quality or interference issues either. The 16DSP sound processor is really powerful and capable! I started out pulling in just one stream and outputting it to a separate device and I hear no different. That is until I use the 3 bands of frequency adjustments, balancing, and fading tools.I am looking forward to experimenting with other devices now that I have the capability. This has up to 6 mics you can hook up too, though I have only toyed with one at a time so far. The phantom power seems to be doing its job on that front too.Overall I am very happy and for this price I think this is a feature-loaded and well-made value.

- Power cord has a unique connection to the unit, and offers a screw-on collar to prevent the cord from being pulled out. This is great, but took a little time to get lined up. Once seated properly it retains connection very well though.- Power cable is hardwired to the transformer/PSU so there’s no opportunity to swap out the AC side for a longer cord. This also means the cable won’t pull loose from the transformer/PSU either.- They offer 6,8 & 12 channel versions to suit your needsPros:•Sound quality is good. No overt noise in the signal so that’s great.•provides phantom power for mics•can read USB drives for audio tracks to play as backing tracks or to fade to between live event (speeches or events with announcers)•fader knobs offer a high contrast coloring scheme making it easier to see which way the knob is turned•offers on board effects for delay and echo, with ability to adjust some effects parameters as needed•Bluetooth optionCons:•The entire I/O is analog, so there’s no SPDIF or optical I/O• All buttons are a bit squishy, but do click in place as expected. All sliders have no sides, which is odd but works.

This mixer is attached to 2 monitor speakers in the living room for karaoke nights. It works well. It doesn't get hot and provides a clean sound out. The mics all sound good when using the 3 band eq to adjust. The mixer is really compact and small. The presets/effects work and are fine to use. However, the mix board is a little light. It doesn't feel nearly as robust as the Yamaha mix boards, but this guy is way cheaper. If you're in the need for a quick mixer just for outputting sounds, this is it. Not sure how long it will last, but it's been 3 months and it's still going strong.

I didn’t see many reviews so I took a chance. It’s actually awesome. I can use it for podcasts and it gives my mics phantom power. I tried it with friends for karaoke and it’s amazing for that too. It looks super professional and much more expensive than it is. It does more stuff, but that’s all I’ve used it for so far. Sound quality has honestly been great. I had another mixer and it was much bigger and didn’t have phantom power. It was also more expensive and I can toss it now. So if you do podcasts or karaoke you need this!

My son creates songs on his piano and wanted to learn to mix in other sources from his mic and from his laptop beats. This was easy to set up for him and has all the gain and effects functions he was looking for. Great value for the number of audio sources you can hook into it.

Wow. This is a great mixer. It is packed with features. There is separate phantom power on each of the 2 XLR inputs which is super handy. The USB can be used for music playback OR to record with a group of buttons right below the display to use. I ran a laptop to ch 7/8 with a miniplug input. I used this at an outdoor DJ event and it was perfect for this setup. The master slider is super nice as most small mixers have dials for everything, so this is nice to have one master slider. The output is 1/4 jacks, so you many need to convert to XLR for speakers that require that, but many also have 1/4 inch for an input. The instructions are well written. There is miniplug AND 1/4 inch outputs for headphones. I actually used one of the headphone outputs to go to remote transmitter to control a separate speaker with the headphone volume. I highly recommend this mixer for any small DJ setup or podcaster that needs a lot of features in a small space.

I am used to small Mackie boards and wanted to give this a shot. The board's dials and slide are tight smooth and responsive with no noise. The effects are clean and there are soo many. My favorite feature is using the bluetooth to my phone. I have a android phone and it controls the native music app and others forward and back play and pause from the mixing board. I've done some fun mixes so far between using the PC input and the phone. You can easily use this for a small podcast setup or just computer table to like me.

Did not play. Got tech support and had to send it back for a refund. Should have known better!
