Nady MM-141 4-Channel Mini Mixer

Comments about Nady MM-141 4-Channel Mini Mixer:

I just received my SECOND MM-141 in the mail today. The first had a problem where it would only produce output when the master knob was turned past nine and the channel volumes were all the way at ten. It also would only produce output to the left side. I unboxed the second one today to find that it had the exact same problem. I've tried many different types of inputs and outputs to try and remedy the problem but it's definitely the mixer that's messed up. I gave it a five star for features however because if it worked, it would be fantastic!

The Nady MM-141 is so clear, as in no noise. I have other larger mixers but this one is the one I use it mostly for recording directly into my computer but I've used it in live sets with the same outstanding results. I had no idea when I bought it right here that even without balanced in/out connection capabilities it would be such a great tool. People have knocked it off the table at live venues and even bent the control knobs without damaging it's ability at all. I bend them back in place and keep on pushin'. I'm really pleased with this small, handy and very portable unit. I've run it for countless hours without even having to replace the standard nine volt battery. You won't regret buying at least one. I know this might seem like I must indeed work for Nady but I don't. I've had mine for over six years without a single issue or problem. Yes, I love it.

I bought this little mini mixer to allow more than one mic to be used with my battery powered Roland Mobile BA PA at outdoor jams. Was impressed that the sound quality was not altered at all. Metal construction and solidly built.
This would be excellent for mixing drum mics down to a single PA channel.

everything work fine except the master volume, it very scratchy until warmed up is just an on switch..it doesn't change the master volume at all. My third one and sent the second back.

I bought this mixer to play my bass guitar along with songs on my mp3 player using headphones. I wanted battery power to be ultra portable. Great for packing in guitar case when traveling. I have not experienced any problems with the mixer. It is rugged and a good value.

I bought this mixer just to use the mixer outlets as I just ordered an entire home studio. Besides it being a lot smaller than I thought, it did not come with a battery or 9V adapter so I had to go get a battery. Also, it did not come with the needed components so I ended up having to spend an additional 50.00 to order a computer interface so I could record. It is not here yet as I just got the order today. The saying is true, you really do get what you pay for. Not worth the time at all

I ordered this, but I must have received the new design. It looks similar but it has the on/off switch integrated into the master volume, has a much better battery tray, and it is also silver instead of white. I must say this mixer is very impressive. It is absolutely silent, works very smoothly, also delivers a little boost to the signal. Highly recommended.

When you need another few audio inputs, this small, neat, clean battery operated mixer is just the ideal solution to the problem. Can't see a thing wrong with the construction nor the audio quality. Can't go wrong.

So I was trying to solve a problem and came up with trying a mini mixer in my pedal board. I was looking for something small, with very few features so as to not color my guitar tone. I have several pedals that use split signal outs (not stereo), a dry and effected signal and wanted to be able to blend both, without the need for carrying two amps everywhere. My solution, put all signal outputs from my effects (this was used with a B9 and a new MEL9) and run all four outputs into the mini mixer and run a single out to my amp. I have to say the solution worked really well and I had excellent control of each output level, and the signal feed into the amp was clear with no noise, signal pops or drop out. The fact that it just has levels was perfect for this application as the higher end version with effects wasn't necessary as I have other effects that are better suited for processing the mixer output. Ok, here's the good, the price can't be beat, the size fits in a pedal board without taking too much room and with top mounted controls allows for easy access to volume control for each effect output. I didn't notice and significant tonal changes in the effect outputs and so it seems to have fairly transparent signal pass thru. Here's the bad, I'm not sure how durable this mixer will be as it seemed to have loose solder weld rolling around in the bottom of the mixer when it came out of the box, but the unit worked. Secondly, the battery compartment is a disaster, the battery easily pops in, but to get it out you need a screwdriver to pry the battery out and that can bend the power pins, which means you have to fix it each time you put in a new battery. You also don't know the power drain on the battery so it could fail during a show. I would have been willing to pay a little more if it came with an adaptor as it does have an power pin input. The barrel for the power pin input is standard, but a less common power pin sizes so if you use a power brick, you will need wires.

This mixer is great for active mics, guitars, and other powered devices. You may run into troubles if you have passive devices. So you may be able to power them with a simple preamp, like a guitar pedal, or amplifier.

NADY AUDIO MIXER NM-141 4-CHANNEL MIXER
I don't feel like I was treated like a friend of Musician's Friend with this product that was sent to me. First, there was no weight indicated in the description, just the size. I assumed the mixer was a lot lighter, but when I got the mixer, I was quickly disappointed by it's heavy weight - about 2 - 2.5 lbs. It's definitely too heavy for portable use. It's made with a thick metal encasing. Definitely a durable shell, but not ideal for portable use. I intended on using this to connect several audio mics to monitor simultaneously while out in the field shooting video.
A faulty product or badly designed? When I connected my Zoom H1 directly into the mixer, I first set the Zoom H1's output to 100 and the mixer's master and individual volume controls had to be turned up to 8 to hear anything. At 7 it was almost silent, then at 8 I could hear audio, but with a strong background hiss. So I set the Zoom H1's output to 70 and had to turn up both the individual and master audio controls to 9 to hear the audio normally (getting rid of the hiss). But with this setting, 90% of the mixer is useless. I'm not sure if I need a preamp to make this mixer work properly. There's a fresh 9V battery installed in the mixer with the power light lit bright green. I tested all 4 channels with the same results.
I would definitely NOT recommend this product to anyone.

I should have heeded the negative reviews, although I never even powered one. I received the first mixer scratched with naffed screws, chipped paint and rusty metal. This is quality control? The second two replacements were the same- scratched, no power switch, no gold plated connectors, obviously reconditioned earlier models different from what is pictured on the site. This was after requesting a check at shipping for the specific unit as pictured. Everyone at MF was polite and expediting, but NADY and the MF shipping dept get no stars.

This unit is not a big board. Don't expect it to work like one, but it does what it supposed to do, and does it well. Originally had a slight hiss, but problem resolved with a slight shot of WD40 under the master control, then turning the master control back and forth rapidly a few times. Hiss is gone; it works great!

I was very surprised with the Nady MM-141. It does everything it is advertised to do and does a good job.

Comments about Nady MM-141 4-Channel Mini Mixer:

I got this based on the price. And as they say, you get what you pay for. Well, to power it you need an adapter that cost as much as the unit itself. And when it is plugged in, it hums so loud I can't even hear what I've plugged into it. Save your money and buy something of quality. I'm sending this back NOW.

Comments about Nady MM-141 4-Channel Mini Mixer:

Opened the unit, plugged things in, only to hear loud pops and tinny sound. Tapped the unit with my finger which caused pops throughout the system. Immediately packed it back up with a return label. how hard is it to produce a quality mini-mix. Bought a model from Behringer that is very well built.
