BEACN Mix USB C Audio Controller | Windows Audio Mixer for PC Gaming or Work | 4-Channel Audio Control with 5" Full-Color Display & Precision Knobs | Drag-and-Drop Customization (White)

I've been using the mix for about a week now. I do think, currently, it's overpriced for what it does. But it does what it does very well. It's not super intuitive to get started but once you know, RTFM, it's simple.Themes appear to be coming in the future which would be nice to have.Things that could be better:Unless I missed it I can't find any way to change the profile from the Mix, you have to use software.It's hard to imagine any screen manufactured this day in age wouldn't be touchscreen. That could have opened a lot of opportunities on this device.Overall It makes controlling audio directly for different apps is a great quality of life improvement.

I love this device now that everything is working, and I didn't see any other device with the same set of features I was looking for. I really want to give it 5 stars, but given the software issues I had, I just can't.Pros* Display Info - The screen for each knob has a user defined label and shows a list of apps associated with each knob.* Configurability - The software allows you to create multiple profiles to define what the knobs do. Each profile lets you define what to call each knob and drag and drop your open applications to one of the knobs. You can associate more than one app with a knob. For example, you could associate Chrome and Edge with a knob and control the volume of both apps with that knob.* Ease of Use - Once you get past some setup issues with the software and have everything configured the way you like it, it just works. Changing the volume or muting apps couldn't be easier.Cons* Flaky Software - Getting everything to work the way it should is rough. Sometimes things just don't work until you do some combination of restarting the app, restarting the computer, creating a new profile, moving a source from one knob to another and then moving it back to where you want it.* Price - To add the convenience of being able to change the volume on apps without opening the Windows mixer, I feel the price is a bit steep.* Build Quality is Mixed - Everything seems solid except for the knobs. They are wobbly on the posts they are mounted on. For the price, I expect no play in the knobs.

The hardware is quite good, worked as intended. One day the app just decided to randomly start throwing out issues. After hours of back and forth with their tech support team with no resolve, I've given up. If you read around the software is known for being extremely buggy and lackluster.

Awesome device! I'm not a content creator but I bought these as my speakers have no volume dial, and I was interested in separating program volumes such as Zoom and this did not dissapoint. I had some issues initially getting it to work, and it was very difficult to find out how to get ahold of BEACN, eventually I found them on Reddit (which I had to create an account for). Apparently they usually onlyconduct their customer support through Discord (which I wasn't about to download as I had already went out of my way for reddit) but one of their staff was kind enough to give me their Email and was able to troubleshoot my issue in no time and my installation and program was working awesome!My favorite feature as a host for zoom meetings is that my programing one of the dials for zoom, you can control the volume of your screen share separate from your speakers output volume.Very practical applications for non streamers as well. I often will watch a show or movie on chrome and play a game on another screen and it's awesome to turn one volume up or down seamlessly so easily. Great device. Get it!

ORIGINAL REVIEW IS BELOW THE LINE, but I just wanted to update.There was a software update provided, and since then, every single stability issue I had is *entirely* gone. I have not experienced a crash in over a week, and it's been absolutely rock solid. 0 stress to use, 0 annoyance, and it's just a natural part of my PC use. Especially while streaming. It site right next to my Loupedeck.----------------------------When it works, it's awesome. The application it pairs with, however, freezes or otherwise stops working at least once per day. The screen on the device goes black and the app doesn't respond. Need to force end the process in the task manager and restart the program, then reseat the USB connection to fix it. When it works it's amazing to have, I just wish it was more stable.

This is a good soundboard, however myself and others have an issue with this product. Somedays it works normaly, then sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it works for a long period of time then it'll black screen and won't work no matter what you do. This a headache to deal with on a basis and it it best to get a better soundboard, the ongoing issues this product isn't worth the price it sells for, it's best to get a better soundboard that doesn't have these kinds of issues.

This is a great audio volume control. It was easy to set up and easy to use.
