Little Bear MC5 Mini Portable Stereo 4 Channel Audio Mixer Passive Live Studio Console Recording Low Noise (No Power Needed)

Proper tasty bit of kit - Works great for mixing audio from XBox and PC for own music whilst gaming - Can now play Crackdown with AC/DC pumping out :-)Only observation against is volume level is vastly reduced so no good thru headphones but I'm feeding output through amp/speakers so not an issue.Specifically wanted passive (unpowered) splitter to save on cables and this does the trick!Love it!!!!!

Works well does what it says but like others said it is very quiet even my 80ohm headphones which can be driven by most things where super low had to feed the output though a headphone amplifier.

I bought a pair of Hi-Fi speakers and I wanted to have them connected to my computer as well as my Amazon Echo via cable at the same time so I can speak with Alexa even when my computer is on. Specifically, I didn't want to fiddle with switching sources and neither did I want to deal with an extra cable so this passive mixer was the perfect solution.With a single device connected, there's no difference in either quality or volume. However with 2 devices connected, if turning both of them over 75%, then the speaker volume loses about 10% of it's power. None of the quality is lost and since there's no way I'd get anywhere near 100% of the speakers' power without losing my hearing, this is really not an issue as I can just turn the volume up a little higher. If you really want 100% of the volume you can simply turn down the other inputs and it'll be the same as if it were connected directly.You can see the components and PCB which makes it look quite nice. This doesn't sacrifice anything on quality, as the device feels sturdy and the dials are really nice. It's also great for my speakers as they don't have a volume dial so this allows me to easily adjust it.Overall a great product and if you don't mind losing about 10% of the speakers' power, I can highly recommend it.

This little mixer seemed perfect on paper and would do exactly what I needed. Which it did... albeit terribly. The volume was generally exceptionally low, even with everything maxed out, but then it'd suddenly go loud, crackle, and pop if you dared touch a cable or move the device. It was probably just some kind of loose connection or bad solder joint inside somewhere, but it was booked to be returned after the first attempt at using it. I really wanted it to work, but just wasn't to be.

Bought this to merge audio from a PS5 (via USB to 3.5mm audio device), PC and Smart Speaker into 1 wire headset connection for when i'm gaming. Been using it for a week so far and no issues. I tried Y splitters and got alot of noise on the signal so bought this as a final attempt. Whilst it does make everything slightly lower volume its perfectly manageable with no noticeable noise.Now if only I can get the same for the Microphone to PC and PS5 with amplification.

When you get something that is built well you just know, it's a better product than cheaper alternatives. I am using this mini mixer with three audio inputs - a bluetooth receiver (aukey), the hdmi audio output from my monitor, and a jack to connect my iphone in. On the output I have Adam A5x studio monitors. The sound quality is excellent, the volume control dials are solid and show an even grading from 0% to 100% across the dials. There are 4 input volume controls and one master output control. The only thing I don't like, is that the mixer is not closed, you can see the PCB and components inside - this is obviously done on purpose by the designers, but I just don't like that and would have prefered that the components were sealed in and hidden.

I wanted an inexpensive way to control two 3.5mm inputs, one from the computer and one from my Xbox, and this was the device I settled on buying. I have enthusiast grade audio gear I would say - a DAC for my computer and a HDMI decoder for the Xbox.I have managed to drive my Sennheiser DT990 250 Ohms with no additional amplification but I don't like having my headphones really loud. If you are one for loud listening I would recommend a powered option; something like the Rolls MX22s.One thing I have noticed is a little attenuation at the higher end. Although this is very minor it does take away a bit of the brightness of the sound and if I am having a critical listening session I will have a better time plugging my headphones directly into the amp and missing out the MC5.For the simple task that I have bought this for it performs brilliantly. The only nit pick I have is the slightly degradation of the high end.

Bought this to have my PC audio and PS4 audio come through the same output. Both inputs were extremely quiet, to the point of only just being able to hear my PS4 audio. All settings (across both systems and the mixer) were set to have maximum volume.
