Review: PASSIVE STEREO MIXER ADDS INPUTS WITH DISCRETE VOLUME CONTROLS - This little jewel box is a passive stereo line mixer. The inputs are adjustable in impedance with tiny switches. There is no external power supply required, instead, this design steals power from the sources and the amp it's plugged into. The designers have delivered a unique and fairly priced device. Today I'm using it with a Headrush GO amplified stereo speaker which only has one TRS line input, this little mixer let me plug in guitar amp modelers by Line6 and Mooer modeler plus a little drum machine, all battery powered - it's our portable, miniature, jam rig for my wife and I - to use when the power goes out. The little mixer has no metal enclosure - it's basically a stack of thick PC Boards - you'll want to keep it away from big noise sources (not hard using an all battery powered rig). In spite of there being no metal or plastic enclosure the small size of this mixer makes it a joy to use anywhere and it is surprisingly low in noise. This little mixer has quickly become a favorite due to no-power-required and the four inputs, not to mention every input has its own volume control and there is an adjustable master output level. If the price goes up then there is competition but at the current price nothing touches the BEAR, grab one of these while you can (if you're an audio geek like I am). GOOD MUSIC TO YOU!
Review: Great little passive mixer but DOES reduce volume - This is a great little passive mixer and perfect for my application, which was feeding audio from computers and keyboard instruments into my monitors. It cuts the volume by about 6dB (I didn't measure it.) So you can't use it unless you have enough headroom to boost the volume. For most line-level devices, that shouldn't be a problem. If you're always running your gear with all the knobs at 10, this will not do for you. I don't detect any added noise, but of course the S/N ratio will go down, by 3 to 6 dB. It's not in a shielded box (which is obvious from the pictures) so isn't advised for a very electrically noisy environment. Don't set it right next to an old CRT display or a motor. Modern gear when used correctly has a high enough S/N ratio that it shouldn't be noticeable even to golden ears. They should definitely fix the description that says it won't reduce the signal level. A passive mixer HAS to reduce the signal level. Without the resistors (or replacing them with 1-ohm resistors), you're just tying outputs together, which is bad for the outputs, and affects the quality of the audio. Replacing the resistors is a really bad idea. Don't take my word for it, ask any EE. Active mixers (ones that don't reduce the volume) are built by putting an op amp behind a passive mixer, to boost the signal just enough to restore the lost volume. If you can't turn your gear up louder than you need, you need a "line mixer" not a "passive mixer". It won't be so tiny and will require power.

## Features

- Fully upgrade!!! Specially designed an input impedance switch to switch between 1K(default) and 4.7K, can match with different audio source well.
- MC5 stereo audio mixer with 4 channel 3.5mm inputs and 1 channel 3.5mm output, which is capable of mixing the signals from CD players, instruments, portable recording devices, video playback devices and so on.
- Mini size with exquisite appearance, passive circuit design won’t boost or reduce the audio signal. And MC5 can work without battery or external power, very convenient to carry and use any time any where.
- With one main output volume knob and four independent input volume knob, 4 channels input have no interference to each other. Providing the highest sonic quality even at maximum output level.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meh
*by T***N on May 25, 2025*

Does it work? Yes, it does. If you are using headphones with no phantom power, all volumes have to be completely maxed out. This would be perfect for a younger person because it's certainly loud enough to hear but will not be loud enough to hurt a kids ears. All in all, it's good enough to use when messing around and the small form factor is nice and matched the fact the Volcas are small. I don't love it, don't hate it. It serves a purpose at times.
