How to Choose a Used Mixer, a Good Used Mixer?

According to Phuc Truong Audio’s experience, to buy a quality used mixer, you need to carefully check the appearance and connection ports, test all the buttons and levers, and listen to the output sound. If you have no experience, it is best to buy at a reputable address with a warranty.

• Check appearance and connection ports

First, take a close look at the appearance of the mixer. A good device usually doesn’t have many scratches, the connection ports aren’t rusty, oxidized or loose. You should also check the jacks, XLR, TRS, RCA ports… to make sure they are tight and working properly. In addition, the knobs and levers should be sturdy, not too loose or stuck.

• Test functions, buttons and levers

After checking the appearance, you should turn on the power and try each channel, each EQ, Gain, Volume knob in turn. If the lever is noisy or the signal is intermittent, it is a sign that the device is degraded. Don't forget to check the signal indicator light, display screen (if any) to make sure all functions are still working properly.

• Test the output audio quality

A very important step is to test the actual sound. Plug in a microphone, instrument or music source to listen through speakers and headphones. Good sound will be clear, crisp, without distortion or howling. If the mixer supports effects such as reverb, delay, compressor... you should also check to make sure the signal processing system is still working properly.

• Choose a reputable address to buy used mixers and used mixers

Finally, to limit risks, you should choose to buy at reputable stores that specialize in audio equipment and have a warranty policy of at least 1-3 months. Avoid buying floating products of unknown origin because it is difficult to control the quality. In addition, you can refer to reviews from old customers or ask someone with experience to go with you to choose a satisfactory product.

With digital needs, many places still have used 01V96 or LS9 models for stages and churches.

• All XLR/TRS ports are still signal solid.
• The power supply is stable.
