Nice compact mixer.

Works great for a variety of live settings or hobbyist/basement recording. Well built, fairly easy to figure out. Knobs, buttons and jacks feel sturdy. Like most mixers, it also shines for making harsh noise via 'no input mixing' and running the growly, squelchy unpredictable sounds into a chain of pedals and out into an old buzzy amplifier. I didn't purchase the Mix 5 as an instrument, but that's its primary place in my gear setup. I'm interested in the Mix 8, which I may buy for recording and mixing 'actual' music. But the Mix 5 is a rock solid tiny terror and will be used for feedback loops, textures and all around weirdness. I'm happy with my purchase.

Using as IEM headphone amp

Works well, solidly built especially for price point. I've been using 2 now for a month with no issues and happy musicians.

So far, I prefer this product over the Behringer model at a similar price point, of which I've owned 2 in the past.

Low cost, quality mixer.

Needed a mixer for my home studio. My needs are basic. I did not need the option of having more than 4-6 channels, and/or the added 'bells and whistles' that I would probably never use. I have a very simple (uncomplicated) set-up in my home studio. The Mackie Mix5 was a perfect fit for my needs. Here is what I like about it... #1 -small footprint, #2 -simple to use, #3 -the build quality seems to be fairly heavy-duty, #4 -affordability (price point, especially for musicians that don't have the luxury to afford the items they would like to have). I wish this mixer was able to provide 48v of phantom power for condenser microphones without having to use a 48v phantom power supply, but hey, that is not a negative about this product at all! As that old saying goes: you get what you pay for. So on that note: if you need a basic no-frills mixer that is inexpensive, the Mackie Mix5 is a good choice.

Solid little mixer

I primarily use this mixer to mix 3 headphones sources to one headphone so I can check all these sources during our worship service. It gives me a clear, clean sound so I can check the sources honestly. It is a great mixer for the price.

Attenuated Stomp Headphone Jammin' Simplified

Bought this on C.J.'s recommendation when I wanted to expand the functionality of my HX Stomp. In short, I wanted to use the effects loop in the Stomp for pedals but also wanted to be able to plug an ipod into the Stomp's return to play along with a Spotify playlist. Unfortunately, you can't do both with the stomp, because both utilize the return i/o. With the Mix5, I can keep my effects loop for pedal use and use the mixer for ipod and headphones. The Mix5 can accommodate my stereo pedalboard, stereo-inputs for the ipod, a dedicated headphone out with its own volume, an XLR/mic input for vocals, and independent volume control for all. Includes global EQ and gain controls, too. The Mix5's compact size lets me keep it on the floor next to my board - something a larger mixer wouldn't be able to do. The unit does much more than what I use it for, but it's relatively low price and compact size make it ideal for expanding the functionality of the HX Stomp and enhancing my guitar playing experience the way I want to. Thanks for the recommendation C.J.!
