Find the ideal audio mixer for your needs — from rehearsals and small live shows to events and computer recording.

For live performances and recording on a computer

The Behringer Xenyx X1204USB has 12 channels and 4 XLR inputs with phantom power, so you can connect vocal microphones, condenser microphones, instruments and music sources to the same unit. The built-in effects add depth to vocals without the need for external equipment.

Use the USB port to send the mix to your computer for recording or livestreaming. The mixer is 27 cm wide and 33 cm deep, so it fits on a table next to the stage.

For small gigs and rehearsals with multiple microphones

The Andowl Q-7L has 5 XLR inputs across 7 channels, so you can connect the microphones for a small group during rehearsal or a small gig. With phantom power, it also works with condenser microphones.

The built-in effects add depth to vocals, while the RCA input accepts music from a player for breaks. Use the headphone output to monitor the sound before it reaches the speakers.

Before choosing, count how many microphones and instruments you’ll connect at the same time, and whether you want to record on a computer. These determine how many channels and which connections you need.
