I have been working in film/video production for a few years now, and one thing I was never really good at was audio, it always seemed so complicated. When I saw an associate was using this mixer, I knew I had to have one. It all the functionality without all the complication. A great value!

Works OK for the price
I use this mixer for videoing conference meetings and depositions. It would be nice to have high impedance unbalanced mic output to drive cameras such as the Canon GL2.

Comments about Shure SCM268 4-Channel Microphone Mixer:
I work for a university setting up small and large events around campus. This little mixer's versatility is so astounding, we now have ten of them. Shure has incorporated Mic and Line level inputs for every channel making it easier to plug in units like sound from a laptop or CD player without needing a direct box. Having a Mic/Line level out allows me to adapt it to any existing system on campus without re-inventing the wheel. This is an all in one solution that I hope Shure will never stop manufacturing. We use these little mixers every day.
