Let me tell you about this Mixer. If you're looking for a device that will mix together 3 devices for monitoring or output, without any audio noise, this is the device you want. The price point is a little high for some, but you get what you pay for, especially if you want an introductory sound mixer. It has all the useful features you'd need to mix your audio together for monitoring or output, and requires hardly any tuning once you set it up right. Since it is a 5-Channel mixer, you basically only can plug in 3 devices total (and can cheat in 2 audio devices with the Tape setting with no sound control). Device one is set up to be your Mic (XLR) / Line in (1/4 or 6.35mm), Device 2 (2/3) is Left Mono (1/4 or 6.35mm) & Right Mono (1/4 or 6.35mm), and Device 3 (4/5) which are the same as Device 2. You have your Main Out which would mix the 3 Device above to a L and R Mono to (1/4 or 6.35mm), Then you have Phones (Headphones) which you can use to Monitor in Stereo with a (1/4 or 6.35mm). Of course there's also the Tape Setting which you can mix out or listen too with White and Red RCA and you can slot in 2 tape devices, but the mixer has no control over the audio volume or levels, and you can press a button to output to Phones or Main Out. The drawback to this devicve is that it controls both L and R audio at the same time on the device you slot into, if your trying to control the audio levels seperately you'd have to slot into a different device slot, but after that everything works perfectly out of the box, once you adjust the settings to how you like it. This compact mixer doesn't have a power switch, but for anyone thinking about unplugging it when not in use, you really don't have too, the device doesn't get too warm, and unplugging a device like this that doesn't have a power switch can actually lead to damage over time if you keep power cycling it that way. I bought this for streaming to mix down my Computer Audio and my TV audio into one device for my headphones and its worked like a charm. If you're looking to do the same you'll have to buy a few adapters and extra cables, but its well worth it. This was the third mixer I tried and a lot of the cheaper mixers I found on Amazon had weird audio hum/distortions that you couldn't remove even by adjusting the settings. This device worked out of the box with no distortions or audio interfearence. I highly recommend this device if you're looking for an easy to set up entry mixer.

Used this in combination with the topping L30 II amp and beyerdynamic dt 770 pros. The build quality is so fantastic that it feels like I'm scamming them of their money at this price point. I originally bought it to be able to hear audio from my phone and digital piano at the same time, but I was pleasantly surprised with the increase in clarity and spaciousness just from adding this to my setup. At this price point, I don't think it's possible to beat. Highly recommend

For nearly a decade, I've been wanting to simultaneously record my voice and game audio at the same time, but only ever ran into technical issues. I could only choose one input source at a time. So, I stopped, after a while. I was suggested to get an audio mixer. At first, I was questioned on it, so I looked into it and found this product. I researched other options, but this one was simple, quick, and didn't have a lot of bells and whistles that I don't need. I tested it out only to have forgotten to get a cable (TRS types). Once I got it, I did some extensive testing and it does exactly what I've been wanting. Not only does it merge the stereo inputs, through combining them via simple addition, it also allows for splitting. This allows me to record my voice on the left channel and have the game's audio on the right channel where a simple adjustment of the panning on the user's end allows them to choose which they prefer to hear most. I also got a new Shure brand microphone using XLR inputs and this mixer works with that very well. There is only one down side though, a minor one. There is no way to turn it on or off without unplugging it... or, my setup that's easier, a power strip that has buttons for each outlet where I just press a switch to turn it off and on as needed. This helps save a good amount of power. It seems to only draw 4 watts of power though, but carry that out over an entire month and that's about 3 kWh. It's not much, but it adds up. Also, there seems to be a roughly 220-250 millisecond delay with the output so do keep that aspect in mind. I don't know exactly if it's this mixer or if it's PCSX2 itself. I would need more testing to confirm for sure.
