A badly balanced mixer is a nightmare. The Samson is a delight, very reliable, but also limited in flexibility. The Behringer is the cheapest (around $100). It is bullet proof and by far the most flexible. The Mackie is the most expensive (around $600US when i bought it). I own three a Mackie 1202, a Behringer model something, and a Samson Mixpad 9. Most of the time I use a four channel mixer, meaning that it accepts four mono XLR inputs as well as four stereo inputs. Depending upon how complex I want to get I can still have original, unprocessed audio to use in post. I also shoot alone most of the time, so having control of all equipment close by is important.Įssentially, I decide how I want my audio to sound during the event rather than waiting to do the same process in post. No problem for me as I do not believe a mobile camera is appropriate for ceremonies.

This approach restricts me to shooting from a tripod during ceremonies. I don't use on camera wireless receivers. Unlike a lot of wedding videographers, all of my wireless mics are rack mounted.

It allows me to determine on the spot which audio signals I want to send to the camera as well as how I wish to send two other mixes to secondary recorders for use in post. I use an audio mixer exclusively for ceremonies. Most audio mixers allow adjustment of each audio channels in terms of input sensitivity, tone control, pre-fader (full strength signal) send to a secondary audio processing unit, post-fader send to additinal audio processing or secondary audio mix, mute/re-direct, stereo pan control, etc. The main reason for using an audio mixer in any audio situation is to get control of several different channels of audio and manage the quality of audio in a purposeful and pleasing way.
