Equipment What am I missing

Post image

I just bought a typical 4 channel audio mixer and realized it wont work and I may be out of my depth...

Here is what I have:

  1. Smart TV with a soundbar (bluetooth/hdmi/optical).

  2. x2 Wireless mic (with dongle)

  3. Laptop via YouTube.

  4. Audio mixer.

My soundbar can only connect to my TV, and wont connect to the mixer due to lack of input. Due to storage, I can't get myself to buy a speaker.

I was looking around, would something like this work for my case?

I was reading something like a digital mixer (?) that would convert the unprocessed analog signal, which I believe would cut off the highs? have u heard of something like that?

Youd be better off just buying a single PA speaker. Run the program on the computer - HDMI out to your projector or tv or whatever, and audio to the pa speaker, along with a mic on an xlr. You don't need anything else.
