About the Small Format Mixers range

Start with the number and type of inputs you need. Count every microphone, instrument and playback device used at the same time, then allow spare channels for future equipment. XLR inputs suit microphones, while combo or line inputs handle instruments and other equipment. Check whether the mixer provides phantom power for condenser microphones, channel EQ for shaping tone, built-in effects, headphone monitoring and balanced outputs for longer cable runs. If you want to record or stream to a computer, confirm the USB interface specification, including whether it sends a stereo mix or separate channels.

Check the connectors and signal path before buying. A mixer with several channels may still have fewer microphone preamps than its total input count, because stereo channels often accept line-level sources only. USB can provide computer playback and recording, but the available routing differs between models. Confirm the mixer has the outputs your speakers, recorder or camera require, and check dimensions if it must fit on a desk or beside other equipment. The range includes compact analogue mixers, podcast-focused production units and digital mixer-recorders.

Small Format Mixers questions

How many channels do I need on a small mixer?

Count the sources you will connect simultaneously, including microphones, instruments, music playback and a computer return. Allow at least one or two spare channels if your setup may grow. Remember that a mixer's advertised input count can include stereo line channels, which are not always suitable for microphones.

Can I connect a small mixer to my computer for recording?

Only models with a USB audio interface can connect directly for computer recording or playback. Check whether the USB connection carries a stereo mix or separate channels, and confirm compatibility with your computer and recording software. A mixer without USB may still connect through a separate audio interface.

Do I need phantom power for my microphone?

Condenser microphones generally require phantom power, usually supplied through the mixer's microphone input. Dynamic microphones normally do not need it. Check the microphone and mixer specifications before connecting equipment, particularly when using ribbon microphones or other devices that may require specific handling.
