Reviews

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Maker Hart Loop Mixer.

Features and functionality

  • The mixer includes a DM2S Adapter with normal and Lo-Z modes, useful for connecting high-impedance sources like electric guitars without needing additional gear.

    Source
  • The mixer lacks EQ control, which might be crucial for users seeking more tone-shaping capabilities.

    Source
  • The mixer is particularly suited for setups involving mini-synths and devices with 3.5mm inputs, but requires an external power supply, limiting its portability.

    Source

User experience

  • The panning knobs don't fully mute the opposite channel, affecting users who require complete separation for their mixes.

    Source
  • Users experience mouse scrolling interference when using integrated KVM monitor setups, suggesting separate power supplies for each laptop.

    Source
  • Owners find the mixer very useful for combining signals from synths and drum machines, despite the lack of battery power.

    Source

Comparisons

  • An owner upgraded to a Behringer Xenyx 1002B for its onboard EQ and FX send-return, highlighting these as missing features in the Maker Hart Loop Mixer.

    Source
  • The Yamaha MG06 mixer, when paired with a better power supply, offers improved sound quality over the Maker Hart Loop Mixer.

    Source
  • Some users consider pedalboard battery solutions as a workaround for the lack of battery power, indicating a need for more portable power options.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Users find the lack of battery power limiting, as the mixer relies solely on an AC to DC power supply, potentially restricting portable use.

    Source
  • A ground loop noise isolator effectively resolves static issues when connecting multiple laptops to the mixer.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The loop function allows audio sharing between multiple mixers, useful for bands where individual members need personalized monitoring setups.

    Source
  • Ideal for small electronic setups, such as integrating Volcas and microgranny units, given its compact design and multiple stereo inputs.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Replacing the power supply with a linear regulated wall-wart, such as the Jameco Reliapro, significantly reduces background hiss.

    Source

Build quality

  • The headphone output on some units may fail quickly, although the main output remains functional for long-term use.

Adequate for a small studio

I only bought this because the caps in my old mixer wore out. The Maker Hart is good value and has enough inputs for a small home studio. It has individual preamps with gain controls for each stereo channel, which are essential for use with condenser mics for example. Unlike my old mixer, this one has no noticeable noise or hum.
