PAD20MXU

Great little mixer. Connections are solid, I can power it via USB off my Anker battery bank. Sound is clear and allows me to hook up both my Microphone and laptop to one channel on my speaker. Great price and works well.

Perfect for a mixer in a pinch, if you are DJ'g at a social dance that lacks a professional mixer.Mix your laptop dac and mic; small enough to carry around in my laptop bag.

When I ordered this, it was the only small, battery-powered, self contained mixer with USB input/output that I could find under $100 (heck this one is under $50!). I expected to use it just for teleconference audio mixing until I got a fancier JK Audio RemoteMix 3. I found myself constantly using this little mixer in testing and setup of one-time demonstrations as well as using it in our Podcasting 101 workshop. If this didn't have a few quirks and had better documentation, I would give it 5 stars.Yes, one can find a bit more durable knobs on higher priced units which drive the price way over $150, but most of these fine laptop/tablet/smartphone attachable mixer/audio interfaces do not work as standalone mixers.Here is a summary of the usual pros and cons, starting with the pros:+ compact and solidly built internals+ integrated Lithium Ion battery pack+ extremely clean audio - which isn't always true from the inexpensive mixers of this class+ very welcome two band equalization, especially in the field when there are very noisy input channels+ usable stereo crossover mixing control on both the main mic/line input and the secondary RCA or USB input+ additional line in for external digital recorder (originally designed for tape! Is anyone still using a small input like this for tape!)Cons:- would prefer to have one more 1/4" TRS or 3.5mm TRS connector instead of RCA jack pair- control knobs can come off, as can the RCA jack shield; both easily repairable with a drop of glue, but annoying- Li Ion battery pack is not easily removable for swapping- quirky controls, especially the way USB audio is input to the mixer- documentation could be a bit better writtenIn summary: a great battery powered two input mixer with USB input/output interface to keep around when you need an extra 2 channels to add to your audio mix!

I was looking for a way to play music from my phone so I could play along with guitar. Looked at impractical things like guitar/USB interfaces, USB soundcards, etc. They all had major flaws and simply were not very good sounding. Then I came across this little gem. Wow. The price is right and the features are exactly what I was looking for. I got the 3 channel with Bluetooth. I can either plug my phone in directly or via Bluetooth very easily. Plug my guitar in and I can mix the levels and tweak the EQ, but honestly, the sound that comes through, sounds great. It's incredibly compact too, just about an inch wider than a smartphone and about as long. I included my zoom pedal for scale in the picture. Very pleased with my new toy and my only regret is not getting one sooner.

I have tried alot of the $100 range audio interfaces all work the same but the only problem I kept running into is when I use it with my DAW (digital audio workstation) the audio in my headphones would not go that loud...as most audio interfaces max out between 5to 7 dbu but this little pyle of audio equipment for $35 does everything my focusrite does but it goes way louder the headphone output on this is 10dbu now at half volume it is super LOUD and the mic works good as well with my DAW even tho its only phanthom power is 18v it fires up my condensor mic and very low latency..I say get this mixer/audio interface it works well you will not be disappointed. I wish this was around last year b4 I bought the focusrite solo cause this is a great unit...Hope this helps someone out there in same place I was...now can go as loud as I need to with out limits and distortion and it runs off of usb power

I was looking for a mixing board with a very small form factor for my home office. I needed to connect three separate outputs through low end Logitec computer powered speakers. The goal was to be able to hear all three outputs at the same time. Specifically I'm rigging:First Laptop computer using headphone outputSecond Laptop using a Presonus Studio One Audio Interface for input/outputRoland V-Combo keyboardSo in short, two computers, one of which uses an audio interface, along with a musical keyboard.I was nervous about the price because I'm used to shelling out way more money for mixers. I was worried that it would add a lot of his or distortion to my audio channels. I am pleased to say, that this thing is exactly what I needed!A really small form factor.Very quiet connection with no hiss or noise added to the signal chainNo noticeable latency on output signal chainEasy to controlIndependent volume controlsThe only drawback is that one of the computers is using a mono signal, but it does not impact my personal use case, so no harm no foul. You may also need some 3mm or quarter inch stereo output to RCA cables, along with an eighth inch stereo to quarter inch mono cable. However, these are reasonably priced these days too.If you're looking for a solution for three inputs one simultaneous output at a reasonable price, look no further. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
