AR8 5-Channel Mini DJ Mixer With Bluetooth
A five-channel sound board sized for streaming desks, KTV rooms and mobile DJ rigs, with Bluetooth, USB and MP3 playback.
Price excludes shipping. Freight is quoted for your destination once quantity is confirmed.
Product Overview
The AR8 is built around where small-format audio is actually used now: a streamer with a microphone and a phone, a KTV room with two handhelds and a backing track, a mobile DJ who needs one box in the car. Five channels with 48V phantom power handle the microphones, Bluetooth and USB MP3 playback handle the music, and a stereo output feeds a pair of powered speakers or an interface. It is the second most expensive desk in the range because of what it carries, not because of its channel count.
Problems It Solves
Streaming and KTV buyers keep being sold either a two-channel interface that cannot take a second microphone, or a full-size console that will not fit the desk. The AR8 sits in the gap.
Who It Is For
Importers serving the streaming and karaoke market, party and event equipment wholesalers, and brand owners building a creator-facing audio line.

Compared With Our Other Models
The AR8 and the CT-60S sit close on price. The CT-60S has six channels and an MP3 player with a U-disk slot; the AR8 has five channels in a smaller DJ-oriented chassis aimed at streaming and KTV. Where bench figures matter more than format, the cheaper CT-80S is better documented.
Use Guide
- Set gain before fader on each microphone channel, with the room at working volume.
- Switch phantom power on before connecting a condenser microphone, then set gain.
- Pair Bluetooth and test playback before the session, not during it.
- When streaming, take the stereo output to the capture device and monitor on headphones to avoid a feedback loop through the room.
- Keep the microphone channels and the playback channels on separate faders so the backing track can be ducked without touching the vocal.
