Maker hart Loop Mixer 8 3.5mm/6.3mm JACK/Bluetooth/Phono EQ Pre-amplify/microphone Compatibility/audio mixer

I don't claim to be an audiophile or s specialist and this is probably not for them either. But even if they did go for it, they will feel short changed. This mixer is simple to use, delivers what it promises with full clarity and control. I used it today for an office meeting to connect a computer, a phone (using bluetooth) a couple of microphones, and an alexa to connect to an office PA system. It worked like a charm with absolute clarity and control. it took me just a few minutes to set it uop and use it.

Compact little mixer with 6 stereo channels: I'm feeding audio from an XBox, PC, Mac, TV (cable, AppleTV, DVD), and a mono surveillance system through to a nice little Fosi amp, with 1 extra stereo channel to spare (planning to occasionally hook up another old mixer fed with keyboard, drum machine, iPads, sound processor, etc. to the extra channel, when the mood strikes ;)No noticeable hum or other noise coming from this mixer, even at higher amp volume. The case is some kind substantial metal (not crap-plastic), so appears to be quite durable, and has satisfying but not overwhelming heft. The knobs and sliders, while small (keeping with the compact theme), also seem to have some quality construction too - no roughness/grittiness in operation.I love that 4 of the channels are fed with small 3.5mm stereo phono plugs, keeps "cable clutter" minimal at my desk, for my permanent desktop hookups.Bonuses include: optional ability to drive a mixer-powered stereo mic through channel1, optional ability to "preamp" an old turntable through channel3, and optional ability to receive Bluetooth source through channel2 (tried it, works great!). Oh, can also hook up a set of independently volume-controlled headphones too. I haven't tried the build-in ADC yet, but when the mood strikes, I'll try to record a mix on my Mac via the output USB port when the instruments are hooked up.All in all, I believe this is a very flexible, capable, and compact mixer, and a good value IMHO! Great for desktop!I left 4 (instead of 5) stars for one reason: The first delivery was obviously pre-used, it was missing the AC adaptor, among other clues. Fortunately, Amazon was very responsive and delivered an actual new unit within days of my complaint.

The Mic channel had a heavy hiss on it that I couldn't get rid of no matter what I did.The next 3 channels bleed into each other so that you can clearly hear Ch2 through Ch4 even when the Ch2 fader is all the way down.I didn't try the bluetooth but when it i enabled the switch I heard more clicks/static/noise through the channels.I can gig with the other 5-channel loop mixer by Maker Hart, it's amazing... but this one is more of a toy.FYI, everything was tested running off of a battery pack to make sure I wasn't introducing any noise or ground loops.

This isn’t a full size panel mixer, it does not have all the bells & whistles. But for a compact unit, it is plenty capable and does what it should. The sliders are very short so you don’t get fine control of a longer slider, but again, this is a simple, compact unit.

I bought this console to mix several devices into one source after working on a project where I needed to listen to 3 different devices at once. Unfortunately, I never set it up to test it when I bought it and the next time I needed it was after the return window had closed and I have found out that this device is noisy. I"ve tried different inputs, cables, and devices but every time the results are the same.It's great if you need something in a pinch, but otherwise, I do not recommend it.

Product was missing power supply. Can’t even use it.

I haven't used it yet for doing any mic/recording stuff, so can't speak for that. But for basic mixing of stereo sources it works perfectly. Appears to be the only option with the features and build aesthetic available on Amazon.The USB output for PC is fantastic and CRUCIAL because most USB audio adapters sold DO NOT support *stereo* line-in, only *mono* (just look for yourself you'll see!). The Loop8 saves the day because its USB interfaces provides stereo input up to 96kHz!!!!!!!!!! Note that audio routed through usb is delayed slightly (~100 milliseconds?) compared to standard output.Brought down to four stars because the Bluetooth channel has a bit of a static/hum background noise when it is enabled. (Whether a device is connected or not!) I can plug in my own Bluetooth pass through to one of the standard inputs and the sound quality is much better and doesn’t have the hiss. Huge bummer was supposed to be a great feature of the device.

This was the best decision to buy this Mixer. This mock radio station sounds better than ever. Too bad nobody hears it. The total quality is 5 star. I have a simple application for this Mixer. Please read more about it before you buy.
