Review: Great usb audio mixer - I have usb audio mixers for music production, but having this for gaming is perfect for me. I hooked up my music condenser mic , sounds great, voice changer is fun , and 4 assignable buttons for little voice clips. Works fine. The mic preamp is efficient enough , I can place a condenser mic maybe about 8-10 inches from my face and raise the gain know and it picks up my voice. One caveat, that maybe I didn't research well enough but never got to work. Is the bluetooth. Now I don't know if your going to use a wireless headset just be aware ... I couldn't get my bt headset to work. Idc . Not a big deal, as I prefer wired but damn. Otherwise I'm not replacing it or lookin at others, it works just fine for my needs
Review: Great mixer! - I was looking for a budget mixer, and this thing caught my eye. I'm not a streamer, so I can't talk about most of the features as I haven't used them much, but for the ones I have, they're great. I'll keep it short and sweet. Starting with the build quality, it's really solid, not cheap feeling whatsoever. The dials as well as the faders also feel extremely nice and smooth. Just a nitpick, the buttons are a little mushy, but are tactile, so that relieves most of that issue for me. It comes with a lot of features baked in, like RGB control, voice changer, and even side chain, which I don't use, but if you're a streamer, that's a really useful feature to have. The noise reducer works well, blocking out a good chunk of background noise. The voice changer and reverb are small things, but they are really fun to mess around with, especially with friends, and are just fun features to have built in. I haven't really used the Bluetooth, nor have I used direct monitoring, but from what I've seen in other reviews, those seem to work fine. One issue I did run into. I couldn't use the built-in mute button as it wouldn't work. On the mixer itself, it showed that I was muted, but my friends could very much still hear me. I'm sure it's just a driver issue, as it did work prior, but something to take note. (Update: Can confirm it was a simple driver issue, mute button works again) Overall, for the price, this thing feels good, looks good, and is very versatile at the price. I really recommend this if you ever plan on streaming or content creation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, good deal
*by M***W on January 4, 2025*

Very impressed with this audio mixer. Very easy to use and is compatible with everything I own. All the features and settings are great and is a good addition to my setup. However 2 flaws that stuck out to me are that sometimes the lights for noise reducer/voice change/direct monitor flicker. It seems to be random and not a deal breaker. Another nitpick is that the faders don't fade very smoothly when brining it down below 3, they just abruptly mute which seems quite useless when there are built in mute buttons. It's a very small thing but quite annoying when trying to lower audio precisely and it cuts off. Other than that, everything works as intended and works great with my microphones and computer.
