I am ashamed, but could also use some advice.

My problem is that I have about 4 music sources, which need to go to one sound system, so I need a cheap solution to do this.

Now the reason I am ashamed is that I figured there would be something in order to do this, like an audio switch. After thinking about this for a few minutes it dawned to me, I’m a DJ, I work with mixers that are made to do this…

Now the thing that I need advice on is what would be a cheap and small mixer capable of doing this?

I looked at the Behringer MICROMIX MX 400, which is very very basic.

I also looked at the Behringer 802, the problem is that 2 of the 4 channels are mono.

Is there anything compared to the 802 that’s cheap with 4 stereo channels?

I wouldn’t mind spending a few euros more in order to get EQs.

Budget?

Around €50 is what I’m shooting at. Would spend up to 100 if I really love it. I wouldnt mind buying second hand either.

Do you need all four channels through the soundsystem at the same time?

Definitely not.

Thanks, that one looks alright, only disadvantage is that it had two mic channels with EQs I probably won’t be using.

Given your budget that is one of the few options you have. Alternatively, you can find a Numark C2 for about $150 street price (I don’t know if that is inside your budget or not).

Although very different in terms of look & feel…both will provide what you need for near your budget. Both are “OK” (but no better) in terms of sound quality. Neither will be driven to “11” and still provide a clean signal.

Find someone to sing ebony and ivory with you. :smiley:

Depends on what your inputs are from I suppose - but why not a cheap dj mixer rather than a mixing desk?

lol

which one his he?

Hey i kinda had the same dilema and i just bought this: Velleman VMS4N (13.5€ in store)
It’s made for audio + vidéo but as it uses RCA, i can use it only for audio.
You can use it in both way so that 4 in and 1 out can become 1 in and 4 out if needed…
I hope this helps… You won’t get as much control than with the “XENYX 1002” but it’s cheap as hell!

I haven’t found a 4 channel mixer that cheap yet, but I’d buy one if there is one.

The Behringer is still the best option I’ve seen. The Velleman however looks like a nice cheap option too.
