Small mixer help
Any clue as to what is the best small mixer with decent features?
High, mid and low EQ, XLR. Don’t really need effects. 4-6 channel. Have the Yamaha MG10 and the MG12 but wanting a smaller footprint nowadays. Just thinking..... |

After all the mixers I've had, the smallest, lightest, and best is the Bose T4s mixer.

If size must be the smallest:
EAE stompmix 4 * 2 mic/inst/line * 2 line * Mains & Aux outputs * HPF, PEQ on all channels * Compressor * FX (Reveb...) * Pedal footprint I had the Bose T1 before. Great unit too. The old one was mono but the new ones (T4s) have stereo outputs.

If you don't mind bluetooth remote control, I'd look into some of the audio interfaces with mixing built in. I'm most familiar with MOTU. Some come with Q Mix software with very usable parametric EQ, reverb, and compressors.

What about the Yamaha Mg06? U are already familiar with the layout....
I have the MG06X and love it |

I was gonna suggest the MG06X as well, but aside from the XLR outs and the limited effects, it lacks 'features.' 1 knob compression and a three band eq would be nice.

I prefer analog. Just sounds better to my ear.
Like a turntable vs a CD player. Lots of small Analog boards out there. I use a zed 10fx It sounds great has a high z input and I can actually Make my guitar sound really good plugged straight into That input. Last edited by varmonter; 08-08-2020 at 07:34 AM. |

Soundcraft Notepads are really small. Or The Allen & Heath ZED6 had a built-in power supply (no wall wart) but has only low and hi EQ.

I really like the older ZED models from A&H. I have a ZED 10FX and a ZED 60-14FX. Great boards. Really nice sounding preamps, USB connectivity, low cut, sweepable mids, (faders and mute switches on the 60-14). I've been really pleased with live or studio use.

Well, shoot! Now I have to get out there and do the research. I am tempted by the Elite Acoustics EA4. The size is what I would like and it could fit on my pedalboard, which is a page turner and the Play Acoustic Live. I have not really looked at the small Yamaha, but it is now on my list. Not sure where I can see the EA in person in Portland (OR).
Thanks for the input... |

Since I've forgotten my Bose T1 a few times, I'm looking for something pretty small with 3 channels (2 xlr and one 1/4 inch) to leave in the spare tire well of my SUV. There are a couple of Mackies that look promising. Used about $60. Mix8 is probably a little larger than I want. The Mackie 402VLZ4 looks just about perfect.

I found some brand new Mix8s for $65 shipped. But note they are larger than the 402VLZ3 and don't have the Onyx preamps. Looks like they're part of a lower line of mixers. That price is hard to pass up, but the 402VLZ3 is more of what I'm looking for in size.
