Buying Guide

Microphone input types

Choose mixers with XLR inputs if you use dynamic or condenser mics; XLR enables balanced connections and, with phantom power, supports condenser microphones

Phantom power availability

Ensure the mixer provides phantom power (48V) when using condenser microphones or capsules requiring external power

Onboard soundboard and effects

Soundboard features and voice-changing tools can streamline episode production and live segments without extra software

Bluetooth and digital routing

Bluetooth connectivity is useful for remote caller audio or quick playback, but confirm reliability and latency for live recording

Channel count and expandability

Match the number of channels to your setup—single-host shows can use compact mixers, while multi-guest recordings need more inputs and routing options
