HyperX Audio Mixer,Simple,Intuitive Controls, HyperX XLR Cable, USB-C to USB-A Cable, 3.5mm Stereo Cable

This is my first audio mixer product so I can't really compare it to anything else, but I thought it works really well. There's no need to download any external software to use the basic features of the mixer, which is really nice since I'm still learning how to use it. The manual says that you can download their software for additional features but I'm not at the point where I need to. The buttons and slider are really smooth and feel very satisfying to use. Overall a great product to have for streaming.

For some reason the xlr doesn’t work but a normal mic with the 3.5 does and the same mic I tried with a different mixer works so

This is a great audio mixer for a beginner - it is perfect for improving sound quality and is small and portable as well. The instructions do lack a lot, but there are quite a number of videos on line that are helpful. The product came nicely packaged and seems to be good quality. Its a great start!

Audio Quality: 7/10 Compared to recording directly to a TASCAM DR100 MkIII and then transferring files this compares pretty well. The noise floor is higher than the digital audio recorder with the same mics, however the convenience of recording directly into a computer for something like a voice over is enormous. I found that with noise reduction I couldn't really tell the difference between the sources, but it is always a little frustrating having to apply noise reduction when I wouldn't have to do so with a different workflow.I'm guessing that either the Mic Preamp in this just isn't as good as the one found in the DR100 or there is some internal noise suppression going on in the recorder that is hidden from the user. The audio still sounds good on this, but it does leave room for improvement (at least over XLR from a mid range dynamic mic with no phantom power).Ergonomics: 10/10 This is where the panel really shines. It is outstanding for its purpose as a mixing panel. The weight is great and the panel layout is perfect.Component Quality: 7/10 The buttons are a little stiff as are the faders. I think this could be improved in a next version. The rotary encoders/knobs are excellent.I/O: 9/10 This has excellent I/O on board. An extra XLR input is the only thing that could really improve it.Overall I feel like this device is a strong 8/10 for what it is. If the manufacturer worked a little bit to improve the noise floor and softened the button and slider actuation forces slightly I think it could be near perfect for the task.

Seems to be of decent quality. As a beginner, the instructions don't offer much help. Finding videos or other instructions would be a better tool. Sturdy, well-built.
