Great video is important, but crystal-clear audio is what separates amateur streamers from the pros. Whether you're a gamer on Twitch, a podcaster on YouTube, or a musician sharing your work, your audience won't stick around for crackly, distorted, or quiet audio. That's where an audio mixer comes in.

An audio mixer gives you complete control over your sound, allowing you to manage multiple microphones, balance game audio, and add effects on the fly. But with so many options, which one is right for your Australian streaming setup?

In this 2025 guide, we'll break down our top picks from the Hridz store to help you find the perfect audio mixer for your needs and budget.
