Customer ratings for Pronomic B-603 Mini Mixer with Bluetooth® and USB Recording

Does most of the things it is supposed to do but I haven't yet been able to get the MP3 recorder to record. Paid extra for one day delivery and it still came in two days. Called at 12:30 on a Saturday (was supposed to be open until 1.30 pm) and I received an answering machine to call back on Monday! Small instruction manual is difficult to follow in both German and English and I needed almost a half day to figure out how to work the data on a USB stick. The unit is nevertheless solid and fairly compact.

The small control buttons are not for fat fingers, but the sound is good and so is the workmanship.

Nice little mixer that does what it should. The controls are smooth and trouble-free, the sound comes without much hiss or background noise, just as it should be. Also the recognition as a sound card works out-of-the-box (at least with me under Linux, xubuntu 22.04) and via the hardware buttons from the player on the mixer can also control the playback on the PC, cool and mega handy!
Only one thing is annoying - to connect the mixer with the laptop it needs a cable USB-A plug to USB-A plug which is not in every store easily to get (you can make it in a pinch from 2 old USB cables but also easily). Can not one (gladly also for a minimal e.g. 1€ higher selling price) directly a suitable cable -which costs only a few cents as a mass product- enclosed with?

Device is small light and compact, to adjust due to the small size a little fiddly a muteschalter would be for the microphone inputs still desirable otherwise cool part for the course

It sounds amazing. I use the headphone jack to connect it to my audio interface. High quality with very good price.

Con: It would be perfect if reverb was also included in the fx.

Very nice mixer with many possibilities. Especially important for me was the individual switching of the phantom power per input.

What I do not like,
Is that the USB stick often just keeps running. You have to press pause all the time. The display of the files is rather confusing.

The connected cell phone is much too quiet and must be pre-amplified to achieve a visible level.

The controls are rather imprecise. Especially in the upper range, it is less than a millimeter that causes a relatively large volume difference.

What I like are
the simple connections,
the sound quality.

The mixer is of good quality, hardly any noise, handy controls, tone control (high/low), two effects and compact dimensions. Full marks for this.

But unfortunately the USB player is impractical for the purpose of running individual MP3s as playback for the instrument, for example:
The thing starts playing immediately as soon as a USB stick is inserted. You can only press pause, there is no stop function. Even in "Single Play" mode, one file is constantly played as a continuous loop. Stupid, if you don't press pause after the song, then it starts again from the beginning.
I can only see one use: background music from the stick without the possibility of intervention, not suitable for musicians.
Bluetooth would still be ok, but that would require another player.

Therefore only 3 stars overall, but it's still worth the money

I need a small mixing console that I can operate via a power bank.
With an adapter from holplug to USB this also works.
Very compact and does what it should.
The built-in USB player is very suitable for small background sound systems without the need for additional hardware.

Application: Living room, home use. Microphone (acoustic guitar if required) - B403 Mini Mixer - music playback via Bluetooth - 60 watt monitor.
No noise, great echo effect for vocals, XLR outputs. Easy handling. An absolute recommendation for this application. In a band I work with larger and much more expensive mixers. That's why I didn't expect this quality here.

It's amazing what this little mixer can do for the money.
It sounds good, is low noise. It has XLR combo inputs and XLR outputs for the LR sum - that's great.
The 2-band tone control is useful.
Mp3 playback and recording make it an ideal practice console, but it's also practical as a small spare console for emergencies.
The fact that it also has a Bluetooth and USB audio interface on board is amazing.
The mp3 playback and recording functions are unfortunately rudimentary, there is no forward/rewind so you can only select whole tracks.
Recording to a USB stick is also only possible after studying the operating instructions.
It's a pity that a few functions such as forward and rewind would be very helpful.
Otherwise, the playback and recording section works like a cassette recorder and I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Idea in my head , record in - record idea , otherwise start computer , start DAW , set routing and the idea is gone .
Unfortunately there is not at least one monitor path that is routed to the headphone output, for example, then this little thing would be almost perfect.
The echo effect is usable, but a simple reverb would also have been useful.
Nevertheless, the B-803 mixer is a serious little mixer for limited applications.

OK for the price. The effect machine naturally leaves a lot to be desired.

Just the right thing

Shortly before our conference (100P), the power supply unit of our 20-year-old mixing console (used once a year for a week) exploded. The new delivery from Kirstein arrived within 24 hours! Super fast! Thank you! The new (simpler) mixer did its job well, has everything you need for the basic equipment of 6 microphones. The equalizer only has two settings (treble and bass), but we were aware of that. The mixer was perfect for our purpose (a conference with lots of discussion and the use of several wireless microphones distributed around the room). Whether it will last 20 years like its predecessor remains to be seen...

A great device for the price.
However, when recording (USB recording) via the USB port, it only works with a 32GB stick
and can only record at 128 kbit/s.

Received it today and tested the
Bluetooth function. To listen with the headphones I had to realize as a layman that this only works together with the mp3 and the headphones volume control. I have a great home studio that I have to "activate" every time before use.
With this mini mixer standing next to me, I can, for example, record notes before going to the home studio, use it as a practice device and play 2-3 songs in the cafe.
Yes, now the effect.....
If you know what a Lexikon Hall can do and how much it costs, you'll be unhappy.
But I am glad to have bought such a PROBLEM SOLVER. See PRICE !!!!!!!
Thanks to KIRSTEIN for the super-fast delivery (despite the Christmas sales. 👍👍👍

at this price / performance ratio you should also not be negative

Delivery and scope of delivery absolutely as described.
The blender looks more valuable than I suspected, only the buttons themselves are relatively "thin".
However, you have to have the price in mind here, so that is absolutely okay.
The range of functions is completely sufficient for my application, you can read in advance what you get.
Somewhat unusual is the connection with the PC via a type A <> type A USB cable, you should have that in mind, I for example does not have such a stripe in the fundus. However, provided with the appropriate cable, the emulation works very well as a sound card.
Electric guitar, microphone, external line-in, as well as line-out work without interference, noise I could not detect so far, but I also power rather rarely with fully opened controllers ;-)

Conclusion: Everything is fine!

perfectly sufficient for my purposes (amateur)

Little noise, good sound and a useful effect. With appropriate adapter cable also mobile with a Teufel Rockster Air for street music ( 2 pickups for handpan + possibly playback) usable. Good!

The part is solid, have it so far though only a few hours tested, channels 3 + 4 and Bluetooth and that runs perfectly. I also have the mini mixer from Thomann which is also great - but what bothers me are the chinch connectors from tmix. After several times in and out it has pulled out the connector sleeve with^^. This can not happen with the jacks. Therefore, the Pronomic is somewhat better. Price / performance for me:: I would buy it again.

For the price, I am satisfied. Bluetooth works stably. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth/MP3 channel has no EQ. That would be nice. In general, the output level is a bit weak compared to other devices, but I can compensate for that with the gain on the PA. Workmanship seems solid. Internal power supply would be mega. I taped the cable of the power supply with duct tape, otherwise the plug can be pulled quite easily.

very satisfied!

I bought the mixer because I accompany among other things wedding services, etc..
Small compact mixer incl. effect, robust with good handling.
Perfect in conjunction with a small column, quickly set up and dismantled.
Micro pure Keys or guitar connected go.
Class part, good sound, low noise very much for so little money.
Since one must sometimes wonder how that is possible!
I also use half-playbacks and sing to it. Optimal for this the built-in
Mp3 player.
Now the shortcoming. The player does not stop after a song but
the next song starts immediately after 1-2 sec.
That is, if you do not catch the pause button in time...........
But otherwise everything top. Quality good delivery promptly.
For the small gig in between perfect! - Clear purchase recommendation!

I am very pleased with the result! I connected it to an acoustic guitar amp via the &quot;In Aux&quot;terminals while I was waiting to buy powered speakers. I fed the sound from my computer through Input 2 and the output from my guitar effects units through Input 1. The result is pretty good, bringing out the cleans and harmonics, softening the sound of &quot;background music and guitar&quot;. The settings are not varied, but sufficient to please the ear. I can connect an XLR microphone to the guitar amp to get the original sound and mix it. In short, it's a great little mixer. I haven't tried the USB function yet, I'll come back to it later. I'll point out that I have a compressor and a 7 band equalizer at the input of my pedalboard. I would definitely recommend this mixer and its special feature that other small desks don't have is the ability to adjust each output volume independently (headphones, main out and USB sound). The other interesting option is the ability to record or playback to USB, that's a big plus. And finally the bluetouth part . I am satisfied.

The tiny mixing console for about 50,-€ surprised us with its good workmanship. The pots are valuable and stiff. The mixer noises only when you make really loud. We have consoles that cost 7 times more and noise more. For MP3 playback, a powerful preamplifier is built in, so even quiet MP3's are playable loudly. We (www.firefront.de) rent event technology in Berlin and test our music systems / PA systems daily with the console. We are considering buying more and adding it as a tool to our small PA sets.

I have not seen anything like this before: This mini mixer really offers a lot in this price range and is also very compact. Especially the USB connection and the really high-class display resolution is well thought out.
Pronomic can definitely keep up with other brand manufacturers in function and the numerous connections that are attached. I connected my e-drum to it and played parallel tracks from the usb stick to it. Exactly what I was looking for and moreover in the small mixer is also a recorder for recordings and live recordings on board. This is really unique in this price range and thanks to the workmanship, the housing is not made of plastic but of metal. Ingenious!
If you're really looking for a mixer like this, I highly recommend it. The name Pronomic should be remembered.
