If those professional DJ mixers from Vestax or Stanton seem too complicated for you what with all those knobs and sliders, you might want to look into the Micro Mixer DJ-4. It’s a simple stainless steel box that has just two volume knobs for controlling the mix between two devices. Whether it be a couple of iPods, a NintendoDS or anything you connect to the 3.5mm stereo mini jacks on the back.
The output is also a 3.5mm mini jack, which isn’t exactly the best choice if you’re connecting it to a large sound system, but at least the Micro Mixer doesn’t require an external power source or even batteries.
You can find it at GeekStuff4U for $133.35, which means that someone, somewhere is pocketing $130 of pure profit.

Let’s be fair, knobs and cases are expensive. They are only making $100 on each of them. It’s an old marketing trick. Price things high and people will think they *must* be worth that much. Apple learned that rule well, and I have a thinner wallet because of it. 🙂
