Very good sound quality and small, just what I was looking for

I use the device to route sound from multiple computers; so far it works perfectly well. The mixer is so small and light that it could be even attached to a monitor stand using sticky tape. The sound quality I find good enough for non-professional use (for casual music listening and watching movies, as well as for skype calls, of course).

Using it with a ground loop isolator to mix sound from 2 computers and a condenser mic connected to a mixer. Works perfect. Made a mod on the dial buttons, I wish it came like this as it is hard to tell the volume level just with a quick glance. With this mod its quick, I could also just have painted the button depression with liquid paper... anyway looks amazing works great, no noise, good range of volume, amplified.. love it, hopw it works for a long time.

Nice and compact, looks decent on my desk. Would prefer it be a bit more minimalistic, but am still happy with it. As others have mentioned in the reviews, the notches on the dials are difficult to see in almost any lighting conditions, so just be aware of that. Much less noise than my previous, more expensive mixer, so I am very satisfied and would recommend it.

Second unit I buy. Hopefully it will last longer than the previous one!
It worked great, and it was barely noisy. To my surprise, today the cable was unhooked and when I went to check what was happening to it, I saw that the USB connector has been desolded... I should be a better soldier!
I've seen that compared to the first I bought, now it comes with charger. Not only that, before I caught a little noise, but it was little, and now it takes even less. You're the only company that creates small mixers for this kind of thing, so please stay like that!

I'm using this mixer to allow output from a PC, tablet, PS4 and guitar effects pedal to be heard through a single set of headphones, and it does a fantastic job of it.
As long as it's set up correctly there's no added noise to the signal at all, and it delivers a quality audio signal at great volume.
A couple of tips to make sure you're getting the best out of it:
- Make sure you're using the provided plug to supply power and not connecting the mixer's USB power cable to one of the devices you're mixing the sound from. Supplying power from the devices you're getting the sound from can add a lot of electrical noise to the signal.
- If you're using 3.5mm - 1/4in converters to make the output a standard device 'headphone jack', make sure you're using 'standard' headphones that don't have a mic! Headphones with a mic have a different connector which can cause problems with the stereo output. That being said, I've found I can use a set of headphones that have a mic if I trap down the 'mic on' button with a cable tie. The microphone signal won't be going anywhere so it simply allows you to use the headphones as 'standard' headphones with the mixer.

the mixer works great on my desk for mixing audio from PS5, Nintendo Switch, laptop so far. the only drawback is the volume dial groove is the same color as the dial surface and it makes it almost impossible to tell the volume from different sources and overall output volume. I made a little mod on the surface of the dial to solve the problem.

Great product. Feels like a solid build.

I use it to listen to my phone and Xbox at the same time. I use it in combination with a Bluetooth receiver. It's a solid piece of hardware that does the job
Wilmmer hernandez
Great item, it works great!
Matthew
I use this to share 1 set of speakers between a PC, PS4, and a smart home device. It works really well and honestly I am very satisfied with the purchase.
Phil Kaos
Love it for mobile stuff!
Jennelle B.
This is an excellent option outside of purchasing a full-sized mixing console for a multi-device environment. I have two computers (windows and a mac) and an iPad connected and sometimes I my ham radio. I can quickly adjust the volume of a device all in one compact unit.
Andres Ortiz
I'm very happy. It has a good size and excellent sound quality. You may need markers or indicators on the control buttons to know how loud you are. Everything is black and is indistinguishable
tatsuemon
Very good quality. I like it because it needs only USB power. Now USB is almost everywhere.
Jerry Chiao
I’ve been looking for a way to monitor both channels of my focusrite in stereo through my IEMs. The Moukey allows me to do exactly that and adds a couple more channels for me to expand in the future.
Captain Highnote
Very well built little sound uniter. I have a computer lab for school so I run 3 computers through it and into an THX Logitech 2.1. The sound is perfect for what I need. I can mix and blend the volumes as needed. I even use one port for my bass when I practice.
Charles LaHeist
My use case is that I work largely from home and wanted to bring together the audio from my work and personal laptops, my Amazon Echo Show and my iPad into the headphones I wear pretty much all day. I had tried a passive mixer, which resulted in severe attenuation and a whine; this one has no detectable noise and works great sending to my little personal amp into my headphones. This device was a good price to pay for my relatively simple purpose.
Jose Luis Sarria Ponce
Small but solid material, well made. I don’t care much about sound quality since this is only being used to combine my Yamaha piano sound and the iPad song into my headphones so I don’t disturb the neighbors so I won’t be able to really opine on sound quality, but it’s very simple and easy to use.
The only thing annoying is that it doesn’t have a on-off bottom so I have to unplug the usb cable whenever I don’t need it. Everything else is perfect
Brad K
Its great! Needed to be able to edit video on one computer while auditioning music/ score on another, this allows me to mix them as desired and I don't need all the complications of standard audio mixers. Listening to Amazon Music HQ tracks, everything sounds as good as it did before putting this in the chain.
Gene Bolton
Purchased to use with my Pocket Operators and a Korg Volca fm in a hobby music rig.
The knobs have a pleasant turning resistance (about the same as the Volca knobs) and they dont make ANY unwanted noise. The volume swells at a good rate. The mono/stereo buttons are nice, but they aren't necessary for my application. The inputs and output are good, too.
The unit is small, with a footprint about the size of a trifold wallet. Its metal case gives it a little heft so it doesn't feel cheap. It has some grippy little feet that keep it in place on my glass desk top. The labelling for controls, inputs, and outputs is bright and clear.
I use an old USB old phone charger for power. I haven't tried any other adapters because it works just fine.
If I have to ding it for anything... The knob position indicators are black, so I can't just glance to see if a channel is at the right level. I'm okay with that since this is just a hobby for me. A little paint would fix this very minor flaw.
Overall, this is a nice little mixer. I would recommend it to anyone.

I needed a simple mixer to control the volume of my work laptop, home mini pc and smart tv through my monitor speakers in my home office. The Moukey MAMX1 fit the bill nicely.
All metal construction, low residual noise, a separate output control (many other mixers just have controls for each line) and most of all, 5v power in which allows me to use a standard usb port with a adaoter cable. This allows me to save a regular 120v plug space in an already crowded desk (as you can see from my jungle gym of cables!)
It is very compact and I also like the mono/stereo switches on each line.
Do yourself a favor...if you need a quality, inexpensive mini mixer, this is the one for you.
Dennis Tseng
I bought this as a way to push audio from my console (Switch) and my desktop pc into the same soundbar. For the price it is 1000% what I was looking for. I don't need to use the 4 inputs but it's nice that they're there.
Sound quality wise, I haven't heard any crackling or quality degredation. It's also nice to be able to change certain inputs to mono/stereo, and the overall volume can get quite loud, which while doing research on other items, was a problem with mixers that didn't require external power.
Overall, this I haven't had any issues and have been using it for a few months now. Perfect for my use case
Old Romans
Works exactly as I planned. I wanted Karaoke but I didn't want to buy an entire system for it. Instead I bought a set of wireless mics that had echo controls built into the mics. The wireless receiver fits plugs into the mixer in mono. I wired my TV output to the mixer input with an adapter cable (TRS to dual female rca). I used another of that same adapter to run the output back to the home receiver tv input. Mixing was easy so we immediately began singing.... should have done this years ago. This mixer is tiny and is perfect..I mean I don't have a lot of space left what with all the game consoles, record player, bass amp..etc.

Ok, so this was EXACTLY what I was looking for to use one set of speakers for my desktop, laptop, and phone while at my office desk!
I really like that its also powered by 5V USB, so you don't need a bulky power supply, and could also use it with a battery power bank if you were needing to work remotely without a/c power (mixing several mics to a camera, etc).
The knobs are very clean (there's no "scratching" sound when you turn them) and I didn't notice any added noise at high volume (not going through an amplifier, so this could be different in power audio setup).
As noted in some reviews, my ONLY COMPLAINT is that the indicator line is the same color as the knob, so it's sometimes hard to see where each knob is set. But I will be doing as others have suggested and putting a little acrylic white paint in the groove to make it easier to read quickly.
Otherwise, this is a solid unit at an incredible price!
How To Avoid Art
8 in (4 stereo pairs) and 2 (left and right) out for this price? You can't beat it.
I love this! It's EXACTLY what I was looking for (the opposite of a headphone mixer). The sounds quality is great. The build quality is great. The power source is USB and that's really handy if for no other reason that you are looking to link up some iPads/iPods/Droids into your existing set-up (which can tap in to that same source via a hub). I have some iPads going into this on my keyboard stand and instead of having multiple cords run to other mixers, I have one (this one, acting a a submixer) and taking up one stereo channel instead of 4.
The only minor criticism I would have is the knobs are black and notched black, so if you want to SEE where that potentiometer is, it's not as easy as say a white or illuminated line in the middle of a fader...but, this is easily remedied with a fine-tipped silver Sharpie...so there's really no downside here.
If you want this for 3.5mm lines (iPod, Android, etc.), you'll need some 3.5mm to 1/4" phone adapters - you'll find them on Amazon and you are already here, so remember to throw some in your cart with this.
Also, this will work if you want to have two sources (say, your external audio interface headphone out and your computer's speakers out) go to the same speakers. You could use it as an A/B switch with gain control!
I have lots of recording equipment from the 80s until now - and I have always regretted being cheap and using something subpar to save a few bucks. This is not that. Moukey is among my new favs for gear now.

This is a very nice small mixer for small events that only require a couple of inputs (4 to be exact). It's very small and compact enough to fit in a guitar case or gig bag or to leave out on the desk. It has 4 inputs, each with an input volume knob and an overall output level knob, each with the option to run Mono or Stereo via 1/4 inch on each input channel. There isn't any way to EQ from this, but the overall sounds quality seems very accurate to what was played. I've attached a short audio sample, but I had to use an XLR to 1/4 mono cable which makes the recording only play on the left side.
I gave this product 4.5 stars for "Quality of Material", but there wasn't a half star option. I'm being a little nit-picky, but the knobs are a little hard to read and the buttons sat just below the surface of the top in "Stereo" mode. However, I still rank this as 5 stars overall.
Bottom line, I would buy this again given the price and how clear the audio actually was. Only thing I would do differently is order actual XLR to 1/4inch adapters instead of using a cable that sums to mono. Great product that does almost exactly what I need!

This little mixer is amazing! I’m not even going to add ‘for the price’
That’s just a bonus that it’s so incredibly inexpensive (I won’t say cheap either) because it doesn’t feel cheaply made at all. The pots are solid and not scratchy, the input/output jacks feel solid and overall the build quality is very good. Better than expected, and the build quality is excellent. I certainly wouldn’t abuse it but it’s as solidly built as the Korg Volcas I’m using it for. And let me say it handles them *perfectly*! I’ve looked everywhere and spent a ton of time looking, and ordered a few duds from here that either cut the signal so bad it was hardly audible, or they were too noisy and distracting. I nearly just gave up. If you have a Volca you know their sound output limitations are less than desirable. One headphone jack and that’s it. And if you are using two or more synced together you simply can’t listen to both at once without routing the headphone outputs to a mixer. There’s no way around it. And honestly that’s a pain in the ass if I just feel like messing around with a couple of them and don’t want to drag my large mixer into the whole deal. It’s kept me from playing them more times than I can count...it’s just inconvenient. So I’ve been hellbent to find something just like this, portable and extremely simple. All I need was to be able to combine signals (the proper way) and put headphones on and hear more than one unit. I could even go without the volume knobs on the mixer and just use the ones on the Volcas. Obviously this is better but I’m just saying all I needed was the ability to combine multiple signals and have good sound quality. Well this does that. And does it well. I can plug the Volca Sample in with a TRS and hit the stereo button and plug the Volca Bass in with a 1/4” TR jack and hit the mono button and I didn’t even need to eat two inputs for a stereo signal like you usually need to do.
This thing is just plain awesome! If you’re a Volca user like me you know what I’m talking about and you owe it to yourself to give this a try. I have 6 of them and since this is only 4 inputs I’m actually here to order another but decided I would leave a review first. This deserves it with all the junk out there. Let’s just say I’ve tried so many and returned them I was expecting to be returning this too. So I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed. I can’t say enough good things about this and there are many more things I’m going to be able to use this for than just the Volcas. It gives me more inputs for my Scarlett 4i4 for example.
