Some people might only ever have guests through Skype or phone calls, but you never know. Because of that, I would actually look for a mixer that has more inputs than you think you’ll need.įor example, if you’re doing a 2-host podcast, you should consider mixers from the multi-person podcast section. Even if you’re doing a solo podcast, if you ever want to have a guest join you live, you’ll need a spare input and XLR mic for them. One thing to keep in mind when deciding on an audio mixer is that you will need an XLR input for each person in the room or studio. Because the best mixer for podcasting will vary depending on your needs, how many people are involved, your experience with audio equipment, and much more, I’ve broken up the recommendations into mixers that work well for single-person and 2-person podcasts, and recommendations for podcasts with 3 or 4 (or more) hosts.
