Q: 1. Do I need a separate pre-amp to plug the Sennheiser AVX transmitter w/ TRS to XLR into Channels 3 or 4 and get a clean signal?

Q: 10. Hi...Just received the mix5...small and nice but...how can I listen to only headphones without also having music coming out the speakers? there is a to headphones button but doesn't do anything...thanks

A: Hi Michael, I have yet to try this with the Mix8 but I will look at it tonight. Have you tried engaging the To Phones button and disengaging the To Mix button? I am guess you have since it seems to be the way it would be done if possible. Though looking at the location of the buttons I am now wondering if they send the RCA inputs to the phones or to Main since they are stacked next to the RCA connectors. I'll do some more looking and experimenting on the 8 and let you know. - Craig

[1x IEC Input] I needed a small mixer to accommodate an XLR input for a microphone, as well as outs for 2-12" speakers and a laptop. This does the trick. The one knock I have seen on this mixer is the no on/off switch but it hasn't been a problem for me. I make sure all my knobs are at zero before I plug in anyways so I don't get any feedback. Reliable and a small footprint which is great. I also use this mixer in a live setting and I trust it. 5

[12] Searched and tried a few mixers as well as interfaces throughout the years, but this one stuck in the set up well! I love the small space while still enough controls. Wish it had comp on each channel is only con. If you are still reading this, just try it out and see how it fits in set up! 5

[45 W] Impressive compact mixer, suitable for live podcasting 5

[45 W] I used for dj gig and karaoke, this is the best for a budget 5

Stephen	25/08/2024
[1x IEC Input] My Rotary club bought this to use routing and mixing audio for our hybrid in-person and Zoom meetings. Has the functionality we need. Light, but sturdy, with clean sound. 5

George	23/08/2024
[Yes] Nice clean signal coming from my Beta 58. Easy to setup for computer interface. Bluetooth is easy to connect and works great. Only minor niggle for that is if you want to switch devices, you have to pair the new one every time. It only remembers the current device. Don't let that deter you though, the pairing only takes a few seconds so it's not really a problem, and if you only use one device for Bluetooth, it is a non-issue. Calling up the FX options takes a little getting used to, and though it has virtual presets available, it might be nice if there were a couple of physical preset buttons you could program. The line in jacks 3/4 share an interface with the USB 3/4 return from the computer, so you are unable to use them if you (for example) want to monitor your Zoom call through the mixer. If it's important to you to have both, I suggest you upgrade to the 10 channel version. Bottom line, it's a great little mixer which doesn't take up a huge amount of real estate on your desk. 5

John	03/08/2024
[1x IEC Input] Tough and solid. Compact and clean. Over the years the newer-model pre-amps just keep getting better and better. Consistent channel-to-channel quality. Will I be purchasing Mackie in the near future? Is the Pope ... well, you know the rest. 5
