To make things easy for you, here are the top choices by price in 2021: You’ll need a balanced TRS cable to hook it up too. They both allow you to control the volume of each person individually. 2 models I recommend are the Behringer HA400 and the ART HeadAMP4. This will allow you to plug in more than one pair of headphones (most mixers only have one or two dedicated headphone ports). You will also want to strongly consider getting a multi-port headphone amp. USB audio interfaces are also popular ways to record on your computer (or connect to a mixer) but you usually won’t have the same control over EQ, levels, gain, etc. I’m only going to include mixers that include a USB connection so you don’t have to worry about how to connect them to your desktop computer or needing additional equipment to get your recordings onto your podcasting laptop. Some people might only ever have guests through Skype or phone calls, but you never know. Because of that, I would actually look for a mixer that has more inputs than you think you’ll need.įor example, if you’re doing a 2-host podcast, you should consider mixers from the multi-person podcast section. Even if you’re doing a solo podcast, if you ever want to have a guest join you live, you’ll need a spare input and XLR mic for them. One thing to keep in mind when deciding on an audio mixer is that you will need an XLR input for each person in the room or studio.
Because the best mixer for podcasting will vary depending on your needs, how many people are involved, your experience with audio equipment, and much more, I’ve broken up the recommendations into mixers that work well for single-person and 2-person podcasts, and recommendations for podcasts with 3 or 4 (or more) hosts.
