Simply put, an audio interface is a device that connects your computer to your microphone.

If you're looking for more control over what gets sent to your computer, tabletop mixers often come with USB or FireWire audio interfaces built right in. So what's a mixer got that a basic audio interface doesn't? Control.

So is it a smarter, wiser investment to buy a mixer over an interface?

Are you actually going to use the mixer? Or do you just need phantom power for a mic?


Just get a USB mic & call it good. I doubt you'll ever need anything more (Hell even that is overkill prob lol)
