Audio Mixers Buying Guide Part 1

October 18, 2017

Audio mixers sometimes referred to as soundboards or mixing desks, make it possible for musicians to strategically control the timbre, dynamics, and levels of sound being emitted through a speaker. A popular piece of equipment, audio mixers are used in the home, public areas, and commercial studios. They are used by musicians, as well as broadcasting stations, churches, and schools.

The audio mixer has several varied functions. It is used to do tasks such as combining the product of two microphones together so that it comes out as a unified sound through a speaker. This is one way that modern recording artists manage to create duets, even when they are unable to meet up with the other singer in person.

Because of their popularity, audio mixers come in a variety of sizes to fit a multitude of needs. They are used at home, on the road, and in the studio. Some are large enough to fill a room, while others are quite small, not much larger than a computer keyboard. A popular piece of equipment, audio mixers are available both new and used, from a variety of reliable sources. When well cared for, they tend to hold a relatively high resale value, making them a good investment even for the budding musician.
