Yamaha MG06

After more than a year of using it, I'm rating it 4 and not 5 stars because it would have more features similarly to the competitors; the stereo channels, for instance, don't have eq. However, what it does, it does well. It is not totally silent but has a good sound quality overall.
The mic filters are good for what they're intended, but you can also use instruments in those channels. I use, for instance, a synthesizer in the mono channel with the filters on (otherwise it distorts the sound).
Using the mono channels for a bass guitar doesn't work very well; although you can get the sound, it somehow reduces the range of the bass' treble/bass knob.
The stereo channels work particularly well with synthesizers, returning a clean sound. I use it regularly with some combination of keyboards, including a Nord Stage and a Korg Opsix.

Barebones, great sounding, well built little mixer.
If you need a small, easy packing and great sounding little (analogue) mixer this it. Gives you 2x mono in with enough EQ to tweak your signal (hi & lows) and 2x stereo in (mono compatible) with level control only and no EQ. I use them for art installations feeding active speakers, being so small they are very easy to conseal.
They also have the most reliable level meters in their category and the headphone out is surprisingly good both high and low impedance headphones. ( Tested with Senn HD 25 and Beyer DT880Pro )
