I do voiceover work and usually run thru a Focusrite Vocaster One for my condenser mic. I wanted this for my dynamic mic so it could have it's own computer input. But, I started testing it out on my condenser. I am starting to really like it with the hour or so of messing with it. To begin, It has everything you would need, such as a usb cable to connect to computer and a separate power cable. I really like it running on it's own power instead of relying on usb power.As I said, I decided to put it on my main mic, a condenser mic. It picks up everything so why not. Phantom power works just fine. The High Pass Filter button is marked as "PHF" and it seems to function. I just need to verify by watching the sound on an EQ with raw audio. Between the gain knob, level knob and the sliders, makes it a little tricky to levels dead on. I will get there though and leave them at that point. The sliders are wobbly from side to side but that may now be a big thing. Just a minor thing I noticed. I basically got the levels set up then I turned on Adobe Audition. The mixer was automatically picked up in it. While still playing with setting levels, I found out it has plenty of power to max out the Audition Metering and clip. Getting things down to -6dB peak on voice, I checked the noise floor and it was at -54 dB in an ambient room. Very acceptable to me.I need to really dial in the EQ knobs for what I do. Not sure if it will have the right tone yet. More playing and recording needed but, I think it will work. There are a bunch of special effects that my daughter and myself played with. I think the numbers are off by 1 spot. Not a big deal as I do not use them for VO work. Might could use the reverb for my own personal recording though.It is sort of a small mixer so knob turning and getting stuff set just right can be a little tricky... but I think doable. It feels well built enough for what it is. If you want a better build, go buy a more expensive brand name. This is ok to start with at it's price point. At $70, I think it is very much worth it. Not going to compare it to the last mixer I reviewed. That one went in the trash pretty quick. This one, it is going to stick around in my recording room.

The Aveek 4 Channel Mixer is a decent mixer for the money. My expectations for audio quality with it are fairly low, and I'm mostly interested in connectivity and usability.For starters, the instructions are minimal; you'll need to connect some things and play with settings until something works.I tested it using two different sources: a MacBook Air M4 and a ribbon microphone. I was pleasantly surprised by the results of the microphone and using the onboard effects. Audio quality was fairly clean; the three band filters work; and there's a generous amount of gain available. I tried a few effects, and they seem interesting. However, there's no list of effects or instructions on how to use "Multi FX," so learning to use the on-board effects is a trial and error exercise. FX signal is present but not very strong, even at full gain.Connecting the MacBook was less satisfying. I was not able to get audio over USB. Also, with the USB cable connected (I tried both the back panel and front panel connections), there was a LOT of noise and at times bizarre clicks and strange audio artifacts.A Bluetooth connection to the MacBook worked, and sound played back over Bluetooth. However, there was a lot of noise and static, too much for this to be a useful method of using the mixer. Turning off Bluetooth (as with disconnecting the USB cable) instantly eliminated all the static and noise. It's also worth noting that the only control of audio signal coming from Bluetooth is Main (volume control). FX doesn't apply and there's no gain or band filter available for the Bluetooth signal. The only channel control is at the source. I did not try the headphone out jack from the MacBook, but imagine it would work okay. Either that or an external audio interface is needed for practical connection to a laptop.I have not yet experimented with all four channels. However, the experience with the microphone was very promising. Assuming channel 2 and the stereo channel works like channel 1, this mixer seems like a a reasonable device for the money for mixing a few instruments, PA, Karaoke, and DJing.

I have to say this 4 Channel mixer is very well built and pretty solid too. I really like how the top is lifted a little bit and not flat it makes it easier to see the full board with better clarity.The knobs and sliders are all smooth and e easy to use, there's nothing loose and nothing that sticks, everything is smooth.It does a great job at putting out good quality sound and offers plenty of effects that are easy to incorporate into the projects you're working on.It feels like I have more control with this mixer than some of the other four channel mixers I've used in the past And definitely the quality of sound as I mentioned already is very good that it puts out.I've used it for some voice-over stuff that I have been working on and I'm quite pleased with how easy It is to work with and of course getting that quality that I want.In my opinion this is a perfect for anyone that's a beginner or anyone that's more proficient with recording and using audio mixing boards. I know it's only a four channel mixer but I'm quite impressed with the output of the quality that's coming out of it. It's built solid it's easy to use It has 99 audio reverb effects and it's solid. And it's got Bluetooth and a USB drive for your mp3s You can connect to your PC or your Laptop And even to your smartphone so great for doing live recording and monitoring at the same time.
