Yes, correct, a lot of people already pointed that out - my bad. ;-) I'll pin your comment instead of the one I pinned atm. The volume drop is still quite noticable overall, though. I should re-post this video one day.

@@mr_floydst Haha, sorry. I didn't read through all the comments to see if anyone had already mentioned it. Hopefully pinning this will save you more similar comments. ;)

Thanks for watching! Yes, you're right! :-) Didn't realize this but now you said it my "faux pas" is obvious. But I think you get a good impression the audio quality doesn't suffer.

Thanks for the info! Didn't think about that yet, but it's only logical. :)

That's true. Connected to an active speaker (which has it's own amp), this thing is simple and useful.

Thanks for watching! Hope you'll find it useful.

Thanks for watching!

Assuming I saw it correctly, the drum machine was connected to the input 2 and the knob on the input 2 wasn't turned up completely. How much would be the audio volume reduced if the knob was turned all the way up?

Hi. I was watching your movie about Little Bear MC5 and I was wondering if this "small and cheap" device does not distort the signal. I want to use it to control active studio monitors that are of good quality, and I would not want to lose quality. What is your opinion - if you have one. greetings

@@piotrbednarczyk5673 Thanks for watching! Due to it's design, this mixer can't distort your sound (there is no amplification that could cause clipping).

Oh, nice! I'll have to take a look at that. :-)

That's right! A linear frequency distribution is important as well (also not a problem here)

Danke für's zuschauen! :)

Thanks for watching! A lot of people are impressed by the hydrasynth... Need to take a closer look. :-)

Thanks for watching! The loss in volume is notable, but compensable. Audio quality doesn't suffer.

Thanks for watching! I'm with you on this one. This thing is quite useful and doesn't impact the overall sound (expect for loudness). In fact, you can use it to "dampen down" devices which tend to have volume spikes. ;)

@@mr_floydst Just a shame the company is called Nobsound.. 🤦‍♂️ I have one of their mini amps for some monitors and that's also pretty impressive for very little outlay.

@@Gainn which one you have? Is the mini amp battery powered to use in combo with this mixer?

@@Arnotski_ it's one of the mains powered ones that comes with a laptop type external power supply. Tiny thing with minimal controls but surprisingly good. Was about £27 or so.

Thanks for watching! :)

This mixer isn't bad, but you have to be aware of the significant volume reduction that goes along with it. It's basically a box of resistors.

@@mr_floydst I noticed from your video yes thanks. Think I'm going for the bastl one beastie (or something)

Thanks for watching and good luck bidding!

Thanks for watching! That's correct. You should keep this away from speakers, transformers and anything else with a strong electromagnetic field. But in most cases, the distance needed is not that huge.

Yes, that's how you'll most likely use it in 90% of scenarios.

The volume is significantly lower, but the drop is linear across all frequencies, so it's easy to counter.

@@mr_floydst very good to know, thank you!

Thanks for watching! I'm afraid I don't really know, have you tried other cables? Using a mono cable propably won't work, try using a stereo one. To be honest, this sounds a bit like your mixer is broken, as my version works fine and doesn't affect the audio (apart from reducing the overall volume).

Thanks for watching! I think you shouldn't have a problem with that.

Hi, thanks for watching! Well, you could use the mixer in this video and just connect the speakers to the input jacks and the input to the "out" jack. Due to the simple design of this mixer, this should route your audio to the speakers in the way you wish. You'll need some adapter cables, though. Another very cheap option is to use Y-cables (one input, two outputs). You can find those practically anywhere, for example here: amzn.to/3aEmCRZ Hope that answers your question... Best regards!

I hope this video didn't come across as a sales pitch - watching it now certainly makes me look a little bit guilty of that ;-) Depends on what's important to you. The advantages of this mixer are it's really tiny size and that it won't need batteries. Also, the audio quality is quite good (that's not surprising as is does absolutely nothing but reducing the volume and joining it with the other audio sources). Also (as Lanthan wrote) you'll never have clipping. As this is basically a box of resistors and wires, chances are it will last a very long time. Disadvantages: It's reducing the volumes considerably and it's not shielded, so putting it close to smartphones or any other device with a strong electromagnetic field might cause interferences. Also, for that price, you will get a good powered mixer that won't reduce the audio volume (the bastl mixer or the behringer one come to mind). But those tend to be bigger and they'll need a power source. Best regards!

Thanks for watching! Yeah, my bad (several other viewers already pointed out that one). The volume loss is noticable, but it's (little) bearable.

@@mr_floydst FYI i just received this from amazon, and it has very slight drop with it inline.. its really not much.. But the video makes it seem way worse... Just FYI for anyone looking to buy it.

@@mr_floydst I also just noticed they have re-done the circuit in this new version, it's resisters are now surface mount and it includes DIP switches to select different resistors. Might try to review the new version! Thanks again!!

@@diaryofageek Oh, nice! I really like this mixer. It's well-built and useable.

Hi, thanks for watching! I used a 3.5mm to 6.35mm stereo adapter cable.

I see! Do you happen to know a brand that makes durable ones? The ones i saw on Amazon looked super cheap..

@@lou19 My preferred brand is "Stagg" - solid cables with a nice color scheme. :-)

I bought everything and it works! Thank you! (I just realized when i turn the knobs of the mixer i hear a lot lof crackles, is that a normal behaviour?)

No, that's not normal. Try to get a replacement!

Thanks for watching! You'd be able to do that with a small mixer like this.

You can do that, but the more "destinations" you connect, the more the signal will be reduced.

@@mr_floydst Thanks so much Floyd. If i use the mixer to send the guitar signal to 2 amplifiers, is the signal halved? Does that mean i'll get half the volume from each amp that i would get if i just plugged directly into that amp?

Uh, my days of parsing simple electrical circuits are long over. ;-) It won't halve the volume, but it's getting a bit less with each device connected to the mixer. Perhaps I'll post a short video showing this off in the coming days.

Hi! The max. resistance of the pots it 15k Ohm. Now that I answered your question, please tell me how to determine that a person owns a multimeter! :-)

@@mr_floydst Thanks. It's not a thing that can easily be determined by casual observation, but I've watched your MiniDexed videos, and I vaguely remember you did another microcontroller project video or two. That sort of thing can be done without a multimeter, but it suggests you're more likely to own one than most people.

Thanks for watching. It's quite tough, perhaps crunchy even? :-) Also, the chinese always come up with cute or poetic names (no western company would call their product "little bear". That needs to change asap). Best regards!

It's not possible as there's no amp inside. The more devices you connect to it, the more the volume drops - you have to adjust the volume after the mixer (e.g. on the speakers you use or in a DAW)

As long as your headphone has a 3.5mm audio plug, yes. It it's a wireless bluetooth headset, you'll also need a 3.5mm to bluetooth adapter (plus a power source)

@@mr_floydst excellent, excellent, soon all audio in my room will funnel thru one spot lol. NO MORE will i be bound by wires and complaint of being too loud!

Thanks for watching! It's a Raspberry Pi 3 with an "Audio Hat" (www.raspiaudio.com/ ) running "synthv1". Best regards!

@@mr_floydst thank you. I must now run into the rabbit hole..

Hi, thanks for watching. Don't worry. The voltage & current flow is well within tolerance. No danger for your equipment here.

@@mr_floydst Thank you for your swift reply.

Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, due to the simple design of this, you can use this "the other way round", too.

@@mr_floydst thanks for the fast reply man. I’m planning to buy, however they say there’s a huge signal reduction to the point the audio can’t be heard on the other side, do I need to buy something else?

I think for the use case you described this small mixer here works fine. You could also buy a Y-adapter cable, or a small battery powered mixer (I think there's one in the patchblox series).

Hi, thanks for watching! In that case, I'd rather buy an "audio selector switch". (Searching for that term should give you some useable results).

@@mr_floydst thank you!

Hi, thanks for watching. The answer is in the video's title (4 stereo channels)

@@mr_floydst Danke!

Thanks for watching! Yes, absolutely.

@@mr_floydst can this pick up the mine from my headset as well? For example when I have calls in discord will the headset picks up the mic?

@@renashbell1203 This is just a "dumb" mixer with no USB or Bluetooth functionality at all. You'd have to plug in the audio out of your cable headphone into the PC or phone to achieve that, and that'd be a rather cumbersome solution. So the answer is "kind of possible, but not really worth trying".

Do I need a headset with powersource then?

@@renashbell1203 No, you can use a normal headphone with a 3.5mm audio jack.

Thanks for watching! I'm not sure that would work. This basically is a box full of resistors, to the amplified audio signal most likely will "bleed" into the other tracks.

Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, all inputs and the output are stereo.

No. (At least I didn't notice a loss of quality).
