Any opinions on audiopipe mixers

[Sebastiantheseeker]

Hello,

I am having trouble finding any reviews and barely any information on audiopipe mixers. Someone here is selling a 3 channel dj mixer and I don't know much about it. Anyone have any experience?

Never heard of them. This must be the AQM-1300U model. They don't make any other mixer that fits the description.

Having read some specifications, I would classify it under "toys". So if it is a toy for you (your very first mixer, expected to be replaced by something better in the future) and the price is right (I'd pay $10 plus shipping at most) only then buy it.

Why I think it's a toy?

• Frequency range: 20Hz-2500Hz. This misses the upmost 4 (!!) octaves, it should go up all the way to 20.000 Hz.
• S/N ratio: 81dB (A weighted). This is equally noisy as a cassette tape deck.
• Inputs are limited. Ch1 is for a microphone, Ch2/3 is either line inputs from RCA or whatever comes in via USB. There's "tape" I/O as well, but that usually overrides all inputs and is not meant to be "mixed" in.

So can it be used to actually mix? Only if you do Karaoke.

I thought you must have either misread it or it was a misprint, and it intrigued me, so I went and had a look. You're right - it sez 20-2500Hz. Wow! Do they actually sell any of those? What would be the point of them? Not sure I'd even be so kind as to call it a toy. It's a coffee table ornament masquerading as a toy. Weirdly they seem to sell loads of car audio stuff. Surely the car audio can't be as bad as that little mixer...thing?

Must be a typo (25.000 intended) but don't assume too much.

Anyway, to help the OP: what kinda stuff do you need to mix? What gear is going to be connected?
