4.0 out of 5 stars Good Item, but BEWARE, it's not stereo!, March 21, 2007

This review is from: ART MacroMIX Mini Mixer

This mixer works beautifully, is very solid in construction,and marked and labelled well enough for people with vision problems to easily hook it up. But it is NOT A STEREO MIXER. You may have to read the description closely to realize this because it's misleading. You don't want to hook a modern VCR or CD to these inputs unless you're not interested in stereo.

The inputs and outputs have dual RCA jacks, one marked red, the other white, just like a stereo mixer. But the jacks are simply connected in parallel and you really have only four mono channels in, and one mono channel out.

I originally got it to mix my Tivo, DVD player, and TV audio inputs for output to my stereo receiver. It mixed them all just fine, I was able to adjust for equal levels, and was surprised at the added amplification. Also, the clarity was good, and I was pleased at first. But then I noticed that I had no surround sound, no stereo, and only my center speaker was working.

Now I have a very solid, portable, high quality MONO mixer that I have no use for. Even my PC uses stereo microphones and inputs. If you want a mono mixer, I highly recommend this one, but if you want stereo, look for it's brother, the ART Powermix III.
