MAMX1

This little mixer is amazing! I’m not even going to add ‘for the price’ That’s just a bonus that it’s so incredibly inexpensive (I won’t say cheap either) because it doesn’t feel cheaply made at all. The pots are solid and not scratchy, the input/output jacks feel solid and overall the build quality is very good. Better than expected, and the build quality is excellent. I certainly wouldn’t abuse it but it’s as solidly built as the Korg Volcas I’m using it for. And let me say it handles them *perfectly*! I’ve looked everywhere and spent a ton of time looking, and ordered a few duds from here that either cut the signal so bad it was hardly audible, or they were too noisy and distracting. I nearly just gave up. If you have a Volca you know their sound output limitations are less than desirable. One headphone jack and that’s it. And if you are using two or more synced together you simply can’t listen to both at once without routing the headphone outputs to a mixer. There’s no way around it. And honestly that’s a pain in the ass if I just feel like messing around with a couple of them and don’t want to drag my large mixer into the whole deal. It’s kept me from playing them more times than I can count...it’s just inconvenient. So I’ve been hellbent to find something just like this, portable and extremely simple. All I need was to be able to combine signals (the proper way) and put headphones on and hear more than one unit. I could even go without the volume knobs on the mixer and just use the ones on the Volcas. Obviously this is better but I’m just saying all I needed was the ability to combine multiple signals and have good sound quality. Well this does that. And does it well. I can plug the Volca Sample in with a TRS and hit the stereo button and plug the Volca Bass in with a 1/4” TR jack and hit the mono button and I didn’t even need to eat two inputs for a stereo signal like you usually need to do. This thing is just plain awesome! If you’re a Volca user like me you know what I’m talking about and you owe it to yourself to give this a try. I have 6 of them and since this is only 4 inputs I’m actually here to order another but decided I would leave a review first. This deserves it with all the junk out there. Let’s just say I’ve tried so many and returned them I was expecting to be returning this too. So I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed. I can’t say enough good things about this and there are many more things I’m going to be able to use this for than just the Volcas. It gives me more inputs for my Scarlett 4i4 for example. For the reviewers that left bad reviews, all I have to say is if you don’t like this....you’re doing it wrong! It’s that simple.

This mixer is something I've been looking for, for a long time! I have multiple computers in my office, and a high-quality audio system (including satellite speakers and a large subwoofer). I wanted to be able to hear audio output from all of these at the same time on the good audio system (rather than on their own tiny built-in speakers). I can't believe the fantastic quality of this mixer for such a low price. I just had to add some 1/4 inch stereo to 3.5mm mini stereo adapter plugs to hook it up to everything (monoprice is your friend!). It would be nice if they came out with a version that has the smaller audio jacks, but that is not a big deal. I can now work-from-home on my main computer (I'm a software engineer) and have a separate computer play background music while I'm working. I've even adapted an old, unused Android phone to act as a Google Home Assistant and I can just tell it to play any music I want. It even shows a music video if there is one for the song on its screen. What a great setup! If you hear some audio noise using this mixer, the best way to use it is to turn up all the input volume controls as high as possible and then use the output volume control to reduce the output to a reasonable level. After doing that, I hear no noise at all. And the sound quality is as good as my big expensive Mackie mixer. I also like the mono/stereo switches. I can plug a guitar or bass directly into it (which are mono) and hear it on both speakers on my good audio system, and play along with videos on my computer (which will have to make do while social distancing rules make it impossible to jam with other people in person). The only issue is that the switches are labeled wrong -- up is stereo and down is mono (the printed label on the unit is backward!). Ironically, I didn't even notice this when I first set it up because I just assumed that stereo would be up (I didn't even look at the label). I love the size -- not much larger than a deck of cards and very cute. It comes with a mini-USB cable but no AC power supply, but any phone charger works just fine. I don't need any more of those. So this mixer is perfect! I was going to buy another mixer just as a spare, but I see they are out of stock. I hope we see more of them! And other products from this company. The only downside is that this setup now sounds so good that my wife wants to do her videoconferences on my computer instead of her own. :-) Voices are much easier to understand. I need to hook up a better audio system to her computer!

For what you're paying, this is a very competent device. In short the device is as a 4>1+4>1 / 8>2 mixer (in mono) or an 8>1 mixer (in stereo) with basic amplification, a sleek look, and the ability to be powered by a phone power bank or laptop for portability. However, there are definitely some problems with it. first off, the noise- as mentioned in some other reviews the mixer seems to generate a lot of unforgivable noise, but in my experience that doesn't happen in all circumstances. from my testing, it would appear that the mixer doesn't play nice with three ring aux cables, as it seems any three ring cable I use causes noise while any two or one ring stays quiet. this could be because my adapters don't play nice with three rings but regardless it would appear that you can eliminate the noise with a bit of finagling, but that's still a con. Second main issue is the knobs and how they seem to work. Except for being a little flimsy, which I can excuse for the price, the knobs seem to affect the volume in unpredictable ways, sometimes lagging behind, overshooting, or not changing the sound at all. Usually they work as you expect but occasionally they do act up. There's also the issue of noise at high mix volumes but that can be avoided by just not turning any knobs higher than 90% or so. In conclusion, this mixer is pretty capable for the price but is far from perfect, I would say the unruly nature of the knobs makes it more suited to at-home recording studios than any live event.

Ive seen posts saying this is noisy, I have mine setup as a sub mix for my drum machine processing and another that sums a few synths before going to my main mixer and there is no noise. Great for the money. I just wish it had audio over USB

I’ve been using the Moukey MAMX2 6-Channel Line Mixer for several months, mainly for livestreaming and connecting multiple microphones or instruments to my camera, and it has been a dependable part of my workflow. The six stereo channels give me plenty of flexibility — I can easily mix vocals, guitars, keyboards, and other audio sources without worrying about signal interference or noise. Even when running multiple inputs at once, the mixer maintains clean, low-noise audio, which is crucial for professional livestreams. I also appreciate the build quality. The unit feels solid and compact, making it easy to set up on a small desk or transport to different locations. The controls are intuitive, so adjusting levels on the fly during a livestream is simple and responsive. Connecting the mixer to my camera is seamless, and it integrates smoothly with my existing audio setup. For anyone running a small studio, church livestream, or casual venue setup, this mixer is a great, budget-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on audio quality. Overall, after months of use, the Moukey MAMX2 has proven to be reliable, versatile, and a great value for anyone needing a small but capable audio mixer.

This mini mixer works very well for my purpose. I used it to create a "more me" personal mix for my IEM monitor in a band. I like that it is very small in size so that I can put it on a mic stand mounted tray in front of me. I can adjust volumes easily when needed. The overall construction is very solid. The knobs turn smoothly with good resistance so they don't get changed by tiny accidental bump. The only thing I wish the manufacture does better is the markings on the knobs. These indented markings have the same black color as the background, making them hard to see. I used a little white nail gel polish to fix the problem. Overall, it is a great buy!

The MouKey MAMX1 performs perfectly for connecting outputs of a Schiit Modi 3, Xbox (via monitor headphone output) and an iPhone (via Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter) to mix into the input of a Schiit Vali 2 on my desktop. Clean audio, no hum, no scratchiness. Also, for anyone wondering about buying these new, the MouKey MAMX1 now comes with a USB-C port for power (they replaced the micro USB previous models had). This is key for clean power and a secure jack that won't break easily over time. I'm just using a simple Apple iPhone 5V/1A USB-A type wall wart plug for power connected to the new USB-C type power cable that comes with the MouKey MAMX1 now. Excellent purchase!

UPDATE: I accidentally dropped something really heavy on it and broke my old mixer. Needless to say I was not happy about that. So I ordered a replacement. The old one had been really good to me, so I put in an order for the exact same thing. Unfortunately they seem to have redesigned this model. The new design seems better in theory -- the mono/stereo buttons are labeled correctly and now it has a extra grounding screw you can utilize. Unfortunately, the new design seems to be a lot worse in a lot of ways -- most particularly, it now is ultra-high noise instead of low. If I have more than one input plugged in -- or even just one input from some devices -- it produces a really annoying relatively high pitched noise (I'm guessing around 3KHz or so maybe, so not a ground loop.) The old one did not do this and I don't have any major sources of noise, so whatever it's picking up can't even be a very strong signal. Unfortunately, the noise is extremely annoying and of course defeats the purpose of a "ultra low-noise mixer." Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 concerns I tossed the packaging rather than saving it because I had just assumed this would be as reliable as its predecessor was, so I can't even RMA it. Hopefully they'll fix this with another revision soon, but at this point I'd just rather buy a different one entirely than to risk it. Old review: While my actual need for a mixer is fairly minimal, when I need one I really need one. Up to now I've mostly just been soldering multiple wires to resistors, which is a real PITA and not very adaptable. Needless to say, this is many times more effective. I do feel like the sound is very slightly different, but it's too subtle for me to exactly say how and, as others have said, it does seem to not add any significant noise to the line which is great. One nice plus for me is the power. While it's relatively easy to deal with relatively standard DC requirements like 9V or 12V, I have to say that supporting USB as a power source is really convenient. Not only is it generally easier to deal with the power supply, but if I need to run it on battery power there are probably more USB power banks everywhere these days than there are leaves on the ground in fall. It seems to have good filtering on the input since the noise level seems to be quite low, so all in all I'd say the USB power worked out well. One thing that did really annoy me though is that it's actually labeled wrong on the buttons to switch between TS and TRS (stereo and mono) modes. It specifically says right on the unit itself that down is stereo and up is mono. This is false. After I finished building cables and started testing it I spent probably about an hour testing with my multimeter and then even pulling the cables apart and redoing them assuming somehow something was wrong anyway despite the multimeter showing what it was supposed to. I don't even know why it finally eventually occurred to me to actually try pushing the button, but the moment I did I found out immediately the seeming short in the cable was actually an intentional short due to it being set to mono mode when pushed down as the label on the device shows. Really weird that someone messed that up, but now that I know it's simple enough just to leave the buttons the other way. BTW, it probably doesn't have to be particularly noted, but just to be clear, mono mode is not a downmix. Which is what most people using this for instruments/etc would expect. I actually got it to use in stereo only, so this doesn't particularly matter to me, but if anyone did expect to use this for downmixing along the way it won't work for that.

Very Good!

Fa il suo dovere, ha il minimo indispensabile, non ha controlli eccetto quelli di volume, ma è l’ideale per chi ha il solo problema di inviare un certo numero di sorgenti sonore mono o stereo ad un unico amplificatore spendendo poco.

Doet wat het moet doen. Is robuust Neemt niet veel plaats in. AANRADER!

This thing is incredible, especially for the low price. You can have either 8 stereo or 8 mono inputs. The stereo inputs are a normal headphone out jack which is TRS. The other end I use a Y cable left & right into my the synths. With a single mono output I use a TS cable into the mixer. The sound comes out in the middle and not panned to one side. This mixer is solid, well built and extremely quiet. I heard a tiny bit of noise but found out I had the volume on both the input gain and headphone out at full volume. The noise was actually coming from my Korg Volca Drum Cannot comment on longevity of the unit but at the time of writing this I am extremely happy with my purchase.

I purchased this mixer as a way to route audio from multiple computers and devices on my desk to my speakers or headphones. I am able to mix audio up to six devices, and I have successfully tested the following devices simultaneously: MacBook Pro, iPhone with adapter, PC Gaming Tower, and a Bluetooth receiver. It does this job almost without issue, the only problem I have found is some ground loop noise, which is not really the fault of the mixer and easily solved with a ground loop isolator. The only other thing I would have liked is USB-C over the micro USB port they use, as micro USB ports are always flimsy and break over time. Overall I am very happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone with multiple devices at their workstation.
