   I have owned this piece of equipment for a period of time. When I first used it with a 9V dc power supply, it had a terribly loud hum. So, I had to use a 9V battery instead to eliminate the hum. Then I decided I needed a 9V dc power supply to get a permanent power source to eliminate the chore and cost of replacing the battery. But, the hum!

   First, I started to look for as “http://www.nady.com/mm141_mixer_pg.html” describes it “… or optional PAD-1 AC/DC external adapter.” I just couldn’t find the PAD-1 for sale anywhere online. I searched and I searched but to no avail. As an alternate solution, I bought a hum eliminator thinking that it will eliminate the hum but it was totally ineffective.

   I did further research and found that previously I was using an unregulated power supply which was the source of the hum. My search resulted in finding someone that has a similar mixer with the hum problem and was able to rid the hum by using a regulated and filtered 9V power supply. I bought myself a similar power supply and viola! the hum is gone!!! I supposed I had found the PAD-1.

   The Nady 4- Channel Mini Mixer performs as expected. I use it to mix the outputs of Mini Disk players, microphones, and laptop comupters. In these applications it performs perfectly. I would have preferred RCA connectors on the inputs so adapters wouldn’t be necessary but phono plugs to RCA connectors work just fine.

   Works great for the price.

   I’m using it with an inexpensive home karaoke machine. Before this, the only way to hear the mic that came with the machine was to put your lips on it, and even then it was barely audible. A replacement mic (Shure 606) was better, but you still couldn’t get it more than about 1″ away from your mouth.

   Now I can use both mics. I set the really cheap mic to 8, the other one to 5, and now they’re both usable and produce the same volume.

   Perfect for those looking for a cheap mixer, and definitely one of the best that you can find for the price. The device is actually slightly different than the one that is pictured, but has the same functionality. One thing that you will want to note is that this device is sensitive to electrical noise in the power lines. So if you plan to plug this device into an outlet, you will want to make sure that you have a regulated 9v power supply. The device can also be powered by a 9 volt battery. I would overall recommend this to those that are looking to start a low-budget podcast, or other next-to-nothing funded audio programs.

   This Nady “4-Channel Mini Mixer” is exactly what we needed for bringing in 3 low-end wireless microphones into our video camera that only has one microphone input jack. Here are my observations:

   Pros -
   
   + Clean Sound, no noise or distortion
   
   + Small Size, 2.5″H x 6″W x 4.5″D
   
   + Battery Powered, takes 9v like my mics so I just replace all of them at the start of a shoot
   
   + Good Quality, the control knobs and connectors all feel well made and “substantial”

   Cons -
   
   - Case had sharp edge on one corner, which I fixed with a small file in about two minutes

   Misc -
   
   * Also can be used with a 9v power supply, but it is not included

   This was a fairly inexpensive solutions for my modest requirements and I am very pleased with the performance.

   Recommended!
