Small Portable Mixing Desk

Not sure if this fits here hope any ops will be kind enough to move it to a more appropriate place on forums.

Hi today I am looking for a small portable mixing desk. With 2 or 4 channels and hopefully battery powered or at least 9v or 12v so I can mod it for battery when out and about.

That said there is this [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

This is kind of big for my portable busking setup but if it's the only option will save

After thinking about things it would be handy if I could get a small desk that was usb as well as battery and having outputs for speakers too. Then I could use it for recording in pc ans take in my busking setup.

Any ideas would help

I would look into the amp first. If you only need mic and bass inputs, then some manufacturers make amps that can handle both. And powering the amp will be a bigger problem than the mixer.

Yamaha MG06?

If you only need 2 channels, a lot of powered PA speakers have 2-channel mixers built in. Some even have a 3rd input for an iPod, etc.

I already have a busing setup. My diy amp does not have much eq that's why I need something.

Ok, then a small mixer *might* help. Note the EQ will be close to useless on bass since it will be setup for voice. For example, the "low" eq will be more like high mids on bass. And it will also be limited on vocals, but better than nothing.

However, you could later get a nice bass preamp that goes into the mixer.

FWIW, I would recommend the XENYX 1202FX instead. Slightly larger, MUCH more flexible sound wise, and enough inputs for your 4 XLR, AND 4 TRS or dual TS. It could EASILY be run off of a 12V battery with a power inverter with no problems. (I have used mine at "portable gigs" run off of the battery in my truck.)
