Hey there! On the 27th April I'm going to spend up to £450 On a new complete audio setup, this including a mixer, headphone amplifiers and all cables needed to connect a pc, phone, tablet and my PS4 (via headphone jack on controller)

 

A little information:

Phone, Tablet & PC Output being used will be 3.5mm Jack

 

Basically I would like for you too recommend mixers and amplifiers please.

The mixer I was thinking of using was this:

And also, could you link me a good way to mount a Blue Yeti please.

You don't really need a mixer for that few devices... software mixing will be more than sufficient.

This is a pretty great little bundle I recommend for beginners.

The projects never end in my line of work.

I plan to add quite a few more devices in the future (including drum microphone inputs and guitar inputs)

I still definitely recommend that bundle... you can add that mixer if you so desire, and then the appropriate cabling.

I don't need a new headset nor microphone, I only want a mixer and a amplifier, if I buy that I will just be wasting money, I want to get everything now as I will have the money to before I blow it on games or CS:GO Cases so if you're not going to answer what I asked leave please.

I'm not trying to be a dick, so perhaps you shouldn't be?

 

For the best audio quality a proper interface is much better, especially over using some 3.5mm adapters... But what do I know, i just do this for a living.

 

Any decent brand (Behringer, Allen & Heath, etc) mixer will work, as will any decent amp brand. Pick what fits your budget and is well regarded as far as reviews.

Neither am I trying to be a dick, I just put it in the most simple way possible, and if you understood my post properly you wouldn't have answered for something I couldn't care for.

Well, I assumed you wanted a professional setup, so I gave you a good starting point. An actual interface will always be better than adaptering around.

 

But, read as I said above, any mixer with USB will work.
