Mix5 : Best edition to my home cinema sit up

The Mackie Mix5 has surprised me alot.

I bought this mixer as an addition to my home cinema set-up as I wanted complete control over audio from each of my sources and as well as being able to plug in an mp3 player in to the sound system.

The mixer is extremely compact and is its size was a unique selling point for me.It fits extremely well into my setup. Its very lightweight and yet seems very tough.

One the most disappointing things about this unit is its power supply. it does not come with a uk adaption which means using its two pin adapter, which isn't ideal. also it would be far better if the power supply was an IEC as i fear this power supply would be very hard to source.

also the tape in has no control apart from a send/don't send option. i think by adding control to this parameter this would add to the mixers features.

I am extremely happy with this purchase and have got great use out of it since its arrival. I would recommend this mixer to anyone looking for a compact mixer. I also find it extremely handy for testing mics with its one XLR channel.
