Low-End DJ Mixer for Car Sound Sources

[KingNothing]

Hi. I am thinking aout purchasing a three or four channel low-end DJ Mixer for the multiple sound sources I have in my car. A few questions:

What's the deal with all the microphone inputs? I just want to plug in an MP3 Player, a CD Player, and another sound source all at once. There won't be any actual microphones that people are singing/talking with.

Do you want to mix them or just be able to switch between different sources?
Sort of like A+B+C+D -> output into speaker
or A+B -> AB or A+B+C -> ABC ?
If you want to just output all those into your car stereo's input then I'd go with passive mixers and output into pre-amp port in your car stereo

But if you want to mix in your car, well I don't even want to comment :uhh:

I can offer some insights into your questions about purchasing a low-end DJ mixer for your car sound sources. Firstly, it is important to understand that a DJ mixer is designed specifically for live performances and mixing different audio sources. This means that it may have features and inputs that are not necessary for your intended use in a car.

Regarding the microphone inputs, these are typically used for live performances where a DJ may need to connect multiple microphones for vocals or announcements. In your case, you can simply ignore these inputs and focus on the other inputs that are relevant to your sound sources.

It is also important to consider the quality and compatibility of the inputs on the DJ mixer. Make sure that the mixer has the appropriate inputs for your MP3 player, CD player, and other sound source. Additionally, check if the mixer has a built-in preamp or if you will need to purchase one separately to ensure proper sound quality.

In summary, a low-end DJ mixer may not be the best option for your specific needs in a car. It may be more beneficial to look for a car audio system that has multiple inputs and is specifically designed for use in a vehicle. I recommend doing some further research and considering all your options before making a purchase.
