OT: Battery powered mixer suggestions please...

[miden]

As there a few "portable" musos that hang here, I thought I'd ask if anyone has come across a decent 3/4 channel battery powered mixer?

I have a couple of "passive" ones, viz ART 'SplitMix 4' - however having one with active circuity would be better for purpose.

Thanks IA

It's not mini sized but the behringer 1002b can run for about 4 hours I think on batteries. It's got a pre and post fader send. And prefader inserts on 2 channels. It's discontinued I think but lots are around used. I have 2 ( they are keepers).

One huge advantage to battery powered audio of any type is that batteries are true DC, there will be no hum or buzz caused by AC power. 

I don't know of anything offhand but I'll be watching this thread.

I have a couple of guitar pedals that can run on batteries or use a power supply. If I use them to record I always use a battery, less noise. 😇

Thanks, I'll see if I can find one of the Behringer units.

Make sure it's the xenyx 1002B .

There is a xenyx 1002 without the B and its not battery capable.
