What this mixer is and who it serves
The Alesis A04 is a two-channel stereo audio mixer with 3.5 mm inputs and USB power. It combines two source signals into a single headphone or speaker output and runs at 48 kHz sampling. The aluminium-alloy shell measures 33 mm by 28 mm by 13 mm and weighs 0.05 kilograms, so it fits in a pocket or on a crowded desk.
What it replaces and when the step up matters
It replaces the need for a software mixer or a bulky desktop unit when you only need to blend two analogue sources such as a phone and a laptop. The jump is worth it when you want hardware summing with 0.001 % THD and a 97220 chip instead of relying on operating-system routing. It does not serve buyers who need microphone preamps or more than two input channels.
Behaviour under sustained load
The headphone amplifier delivers 125 mW into 32 ohms continuously without audible distortion. Ground-loop suppression keeps the noise floor low during long sessions, and the USB power draw stays steady at 5 V. The capacitor-free output stage maintains consistent bass response over extended use.

Questions about this item
What size opening or surface area does the 33 mm × 28 mm × 13 mm metal case need?
The aluminium-alloy housing measures 33 mm wide, 28 mm deep and 13 mm high, so it fits on any flat surface or shelf that can accommodate those dimensions and weighs only 14 g.
How do I connect the two 3.5 mm sources and the USB power, and what step is often missed?
Plug each source into the two 3.5 mm input jacks, connect the headphones or speaker to the single 3.5 mm output, then insert the supplied USB cable for 5 V power — the mixer stays mute until the USB cable is actually plugged in.
When should I replace the included 1‑metre 3.5 mm cable or the USB power lead?
Swap either cable if the connectors become loose, the sheathing frays, or you hear intermittent crackling — both cables are standard 3.5 mm stereo and USB‑A types, so any equivalent replacement works.
