How to Choose the Right Mixer for Your Pro Audio Systems
Choosing the right mixer to use in conjunction with your pro audio systems is always a little bit tricky. How do you know what to get? We’ve put together a quick list of tips to keep in mind while you’re on the hunt for the perfect mixer.
- One of the most common suggestions you’ll hear is to pick a mixer that has more channels than you think you’ll need. We couldn’t agree more. There’s always something that will come up and the best way to plan for these unexpected situations is to make sure you’re covered beforehand so you don’t end up with a problem at the last minute.
- Do you need effects buses, subgroup busses, or monitor buses? Your mixer will assign an input signal to a bus and the bus then carries all of the mixed signals to your output. Be sure to choose the right type of bus for what you’ll typically be using your mixer for.
- The choice between an analog mixer and a digital mixer can be a tough one. Digital mixers are usually less intuitive but can give you a myriad number of sound configurations. Be sure to look into the pros and cons of each before you make a final choice.
At Affinitech, we offer a number of different mixersfor use with your pro audio systems. Whether you need a compact mixer like the Alto Professional 5-Channel Compact Mixeror something more high-powered like the Crown Four Channel Power Amplifier, you’re sure to find something that suits your needs.
