What is the best audio mixer under $500?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$Not much to go on there and "best" really depends on what you plan to do with it. Do you need power for mics? High level inputs for electric instruments? How many channels?
