Is this a powered mixer?

Not exactly sure what you mean. The mixer requires 12VDC input to function, provided via the included AC adapter. The unit can provide 48VDC phantom power to the four XLR inputs, although that is controlled by a single switch; so either all 4 are powered or none are.. The unit does not require the USB to be connected for it to operate, so apparently that connection is data only.

I would answer with a qualified yes. It depends on your setup. It is not a true audio interface, meaning that each input does not come across as an individual track. But, if you wanted to mix on this mixer, and record as one track, then you can record 4 mics.

I’ve recorded a couple podcasts with 3 mics on this mixer. Just make sure your levels are right and it’ll sound amazing. Might need to check your mics and see if they need phantom power or not. The mixer will provide the phantom power to the mics if need be. Enjoy.

I would not recommend trying to power the mixer using the USB connection. First, the schematic in the manual is not complete enough to allow for a determination that there would even be continuity from the USB port to all of the critical circuits of the mixer. Second, the mixer power supply is rated at 12 volts DC while USB supplies output 5 volts. In short, I would not try to power the mixer in this manner, lest doing so damage the mixer. If you want to power the mixer by a battery, look for a 12 volt battery or configure one from two 6 volt batteries or 8 D cells and obtain a matching coaxial plug for connection to the mixer. Consider using a 2 amp fuse in the positive line of the wiring from the battery to the power connector. Pay careful attention to the polarity of the wiring. The center of the connector is positive (+) and the outer sleeve is negative (-) according to the diagram on the back of the mixer. Measure the voltage before connecting to the mixer.

Agree with others that USB won't work, but you can find 12v battery packs. You can also find holders that carry 9 AA batteries (9x1.5v=12v) or 3x 18650 Li Ion batteries. I've used both of these for DIY battery packs.

Could this mixer be used to route three or four electric guitars to a guitar amp?
Timothy W
on Jan 28, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Technically you can. It is a little tricky since your amp is looking for a lower leval signal from a standard electric guitar. This mixer will put a lot more signal in to the amp. You will need to play with the setting to get the tone you are looking for. The extra output of the mixer might be pretty cool for getting more gain out of your amp.

You could in fact do this. That said, you'll get better, clearer sound taking the guitars (or any four simultaneous instruments) to a PA. You would need to use the AUX output since the primary is via separate left and right outputs.

Other than the unbalanced stereo headphone output, all other analog outputs are mono, unbalanced 1/4” TS. So a standard 1/4” TS instrument or speaker cables will work for output signal connections. If you are transmitting over long distances, you may consider unbalanced to balanced converters, and XLR cables.

Can this mixer be used as an audio interface, if so how many tracks simultaneously can be recorded? Jimi
New User U
on May 9, 2021
BEST ANSWER: It can, but it only has one stereo input and one stereo output through USB. The USB input is the Main mix. It also lacks other features of some dedicated audio interfaces such as the ability to select whether you monitor the inputs or the playback. With this mixer, the master output to your speakers always mixes the inputs with the USB playback. And the master level adjustment also adjusts the USB input level.

Monoprice 8-Channel Audio Mixer with USB

BEST ANSWER: Item 604355 (PA) includes a basic board and amp for the speakers. You can feed everything directly into it, versus plugging into a mixer like this one. Unless you were wanting to add more inputs than the PA allowed for, not sure why you would want the mixer in the configuration (save perhaps for outputting to USB from the mixer, which the PA system doesn't provide). That said, I do have both items, and it is a nice little mixer for the price.

As mentioned, you will get 2 channels output through the USB. For basic recording of drums, it is fine to create a stereo track; you just have to play around with levels and such before you record. However, with the 2 channels you obviously can't do any post production on individual drums. The bigger downfall for me with using this as a mixer for recording drums is that, 1) channels 5/6 & 7/8 channels are not independently adjustable of each other, and 2) it only has 4 XLR inputs. That said, it does OK with a couple of overheads, snare and kick mic'd (4 channels).

Dan
on Apr 7, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I think it would. I've used it for music lessons with microphones, DI electric piano, and DI guitar. It depends on how many mics you have to input-- there are 4 balanced inputs so this wouldn't be suitable if you are going to mic every drum in a drumset. It has equalization options below for bass below 80Hz and high frequency above 12KHz and panning for each input. There are no notch filters. For a small ensemble or solo player, it should do the trick.

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your interest in this USB mixer. The USB will only carry 2 tracks of audio to record. Use the PAN controls set hard left or right for 2 channel operation to record to 2 separate mono tracks.

BEST ANSWER: So the answer is two parts. The first, yes you can connect this to any software as it is seen as a USB audio device with stereo audio in/out. Part two, no, you can't attach effects to each channel as what is seen by the computer, is just the stereo mix, so you get left and right in/out, with all the channels combined into that one stereo mix, so any effects you apply will be to all channels.

Can you both receive and send audio via the USB? Example use case: Having a call via skype. Need to be able to send audio to computer, and hear audio from the person you are talking to.

So the 1-4 inputs will work for mics, but not 5-8? I was looking for a podcast solution to record to my windows 10 machine at least 6 mics. Thanks for any help

BEST ANSWER: That's right, 4 mic inputs only. A typical mic puts out a low level signal, and is connected to a mixer with an XLR cable. The mixer has a pre-amp to take that mic level signal and boost it up to line level, where it can be mixed with other line level inputs. You could get an XLR to 1/4" cable and plug a mic into one of inputs 5-8, but you probably wouldn't be able to hear it. The number of XLR inputs is typically an indicator of how many mic pre-amps a mixer has.

Is there a way to connect digital effects processor to the board?

BEST ANSWER: Yes; you can use the Aux send to send audio to your effect processor and then route it back in through the line inputs. You may also be able to use the USB i/o if your effects processor supports USB

Does the USB send 8 discreet channels to the PC, or is it just stereo? What is the sample rate & resolution? This info should really be included in the specs. Thank you!

It's Small Size And Portability Make This A Must Have For Musicians Especially!
This is the perfect little mixer for small performance applications. Live and Recording. Its size and portability make it a must for mixing just about anything. Has plenty of headroom... buy yourself a good power amp or powered speaker system. At home I use it primarily as a line in mixer with equalization for mp3 players, cd players,, keyboards, television and PC audio inputs. Acoustic/Elect guitars sound good as well. What a bargain! Very Happy!

We love this
We use this at MOVIE NIGHT on the Tennis Court for the neighborhood. Big blow up screen, projector and 500W speaker. This connects all to my laptop for the control.

It?s really good for the price. That means it?s not great.
You can get surprisingly good quality these days, but the corners that are being cut are always the same: Components and design. By design, I don?t mean the looks per se, you may or may not enjoy these rounded corners cosmetics. I mean the thought that goes into the functionality ? or doesn?t. The gain controls are in the top position, fair enough. Then come the ?Hi? EQ controls. Then, for no logical reason, the face of the mixer changes to black, and the ?Low? controls sit on that part of the panel. The color coding on the controls is not clear or strong enough to make out immediately, especially in compromised light. All the knobs turn way too easily and sit super close together. The aluminum looking material is in fact plastic. There?s an Aux send, but no return. Meaning, you have to sacrifice one of your regular channels for that purpose. But hey, look at that price tag again, and see if any of these unenjoyable factors are deal breakers. I do like the mic stand mount.

Makes the most sense!
Exactly what I needed to connect to my computer for recording. Having all the extra features and channels is a much better value than just a simple USB to audio interface. Makes total sense to get this instead.

Has problems with low-latency input apps
I wish I could give it a better review, but it has introduced a lot of buffering type clicking problems when trying to use this with Amplitube 5 on my macbook m1. I also have an AXE i/o and it doesn't have the same problems. So basically, if you need to use this device as a low-latency "live instrument" type mixer, look elsewhere.
