American Recorder PMIX-100 3 Source Personal Audio Mixer

The PMIX beautifully solves a long-standing problem, allowing me to use one set of powered speakers for multiple audio sources simultaneously -- without the distortion and noise seen when using a simple Y-adapter. I now play my stereo through the computer speakers (with the computer on or off) while still hearing any warning beeps or other computer-based audio (think .mp3's, YouTube audio,...) when the computer is on. Each input has its own volume control, plus there is a master volume control for all three inputs. Also, the mixer is a decently small size that's easy to tuck away. <p>Three minor gripes to be aware of: <br>1) The two blue LEDs are REALLY (really!) bright. I popped open the case and painted over them with a couple dabs of black paint. <br>2) The mixer seems to clip some very-high frequencies (there's just a hint less "brightness" to some music), so audiophiles probably would not be satisfied. But the music definitely sounds good enough, and I'm thrilled by needing only one set of good speakers taking up precious desk real estate. <br>3) My mixer picks up a bit of noise if placed atop a wireless router; solution is just to move them apart by a few inches. <p>In all, I am very satisfied!

Second one I buy, second with noise problems. Great idea with the mini connectors, etc. but bad quality. Get an ART mixer; more expensive but top quality.

I have been looking for a product that does exactly this for a long time. I only wanted 1 set of speakers but have several computers that I needed to hook them up to. This product seamlessly integrated the sound from all my computers to one set of speakers. Setup was easy and I have not had any problems.

Everything works as advertised and I received it promptly. My only wishes are a.) it had more than 3 inputs; and b.) there was a 5.1 version available.
