I Bought This Mixer Today And So Far It Works Great, It Produces Almost No Self Noise ( If Set Up Right ) And Makes My Vocals Deeper And More Crisp!. If You Run A Small Home Studio And Need Better Vocals.! Buy This Mixer!.[@]

I bought this a few years ago (c. 2004) for home recording of original material to help the youth choir members learn their parts. It is easy to use, quick to set up (our setup runs mixer into AUX on home stereo to PC out as TAPE 2). On the most recent project last fall I noticed quite a bit of background noise, particularly troubling when editing the takes. It's the mixer. Now I'm looking for a quiet one, now that my standards are higher. For [$]though (it was $40 when I bought mine), as long as you're not looking for near-studio sound, why not?

Great Product I would buy again

Our idea was to use this mixer to combine various signals into a single output, which we would record on a pc for a later podcast. Unfortunately, this device does not seem to work well with the average "PC Microphone." It worked great with our XLR dynamic mike and the line out from a laptop, but when we used a variety of pc headset and desktop mikes (like you might use for SKYPE, they go to the microphone input on your sound card), it only picked up the faintest of signals. Even with everything turned up to 11 and with us screaming into the mike, the output was still barely audible.

This is a great product for a quick fix. It works well for its price and is a little hard to label. The only problem is that it is hard to use with imputs on both ends. Otherwise its great!

I recived one of theese of a gift,
3 1/2 weeks later the sound becomes distorted.
I checked all devices sevral times and only possibal nonworking device is the mixer.
Recomend for personal use,and be prepared for a problem.

Clear sound for use in two language input L - R into Digital 8mmD video camera MIC-INPUT. Light and mobile. Battery power or AC/DC option good flexibility. Optional RCA or line jack inputs nice. Small and compact.
Power LED remains off in power ON does not alert operator that unit is left on.

This mixer is cheap and easy to use, but its still not worth the money. I used it to amplify and combine several different instruments into my computer, and the option of using 1/4" cables was why I bought it. The sliders were much too sensative and it ended up breaking after about a month wich was very dissapointing. If your using this to record or for music and cant afford to keep replacing it then DONT BUY THIS!

The poor sound quality that other people have experienced must have been because of bad wiring. I use it for my computer to record from a mic, music devices and an FX processor and it works just fine. I connect it to Line In.

All four channels with microphones connected work just fine. It's perfect for simple needs.

OK, so it's not a Mackie or even a Peavey. But these are not bad little mixers for the price. We used to use a pair of the earlier model of these to mix and record our church services, and they worked quite well, until I messed them up (I was much younger and didn't know how to properly take care of a mixer.) You get what you pay for, and these are not bad at all for the price.

Not the best, but great for the value. I use it to play my ipod and guitar through one amp, kareoke with two mics and an ipod, and 3 headset mics through one computer. For all of these things it works great, but i do want a mixer with more control eventually.

All those folks having a problem with humming should be aware that there is a ground on the back of this device. (Edited by moderator.)

I just purchased this for a party at my house. I utilized this mixer for a lot of karaoke and to play music from my ipod. This thing worked great!!! I don't understand the bad reviews... it worked fantastic for me. Would recommend for the price.

Junky. Sound quality on the output side is terrible. Humming, static. Isolated mixer..no soap. This one is going back. Store employees of little or no help technically. Most know little about what they're selling. No real-time support phone at RS either. Bummer.

I took a chance on this and regret it. I am trying to record the output and all you hear is the loud noise from this mixer.

This mixer is not bad at all. At first I was getting a LOUD hummmmmm. But once I moved the mixer 4 feet away from my screen and computer the hum was gone. Good buy for the price.

To all the people who visits radioshack.com and look at this product,dont listen to the negative comments,this is a very good for like low budget people whos looking for something to start with.I use this for my lil studio for bring up my vocals trough my mic.Its very easy to use,all you haf to have is precise decisions in your lvl of adjusting and confidence in your work.Other then that its a good product overall.Just needs to have a plug adapter to come with it then it'll be all good.But good none the less.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was connecting my sound system and when I got to the mixer and turned it on, I heard a loud humming noise. JUNK!!!!!!!!

This is a great mixer, I normaly use it for fun(singing along to a cd and playing on the keyboard).I Hook it up to a normal audio reciver and it sounds great and is easy enough to use that you can teach someone in 11.37 seconds. but I wish that it had a 1/4" output, and i can not find the power adapter.

I use this with a Sony ECM-MS908C microphone into a iMic USB audio interface on a G5 iMac The iMic w/o this mixer has hash noise. Driving it line out with this mixer works very nice and sounds very clean. Very surprising for a under $200 setup with all 3 peices. No AC hum from the 9V DC adapter either.

AWESOME!! BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would get this its great for mixing a sound system. I would strongly suggest getting this.
