Cheaper alternative to mixamp?

かあびぃ · July 30, 2016

Hey, sorry for a awful title. My issue is that i'm looking for a headphones + modmic/boompro combo, but i really hate the wiring part since my pc is a bit far away, and the cables have to pass my monitor to reach me. The easiest way is to just get an extremely long cable, but that'll be annoying, and the expensive solution is to get a Mixamp, however, i was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative to the Astro mixamp.

Well, you could get an SMSL SD793-II for the headphone amp, and you could also get an extension cable, and glue/zip tie it to the SMSL for the mic. That would be a pretty easy solution.

Seems like its a bit complicated compared to the astro mixamp

You asked for a cheaper alternative. I gave you one that would save you $40 to $50. If you're not willing to put the effort in, then just get a mixamp.
