a mixer housing;
a mixing element positioned at least partially in the mixer housing, wherein the mixing element includes at least one flow chamber;
an inlet connectable with the mixer housing, wherein the inlet includes at least two input openings configured to receive one or more components to be mixed, wherein each of the at least two input openings is flow-connected with the mixer housing by way of at least one input channel;
at least one compensation channel formed in the inlet, wherein the at least one compensation channel connects the at least two input openings with each other such that the one or more components are configured to meet in the compensation channel prior to entering the mixing element, wherein the at least one compensation channel comprises at least two flow walls, formed in a concave or convex manner, provided along a circumference of the at least two input openings, wherein the at least one compensation channel further comprises at least two deflecting walls, and wherein the at least two flow walls and the at least two deflecting walls together form a circular structure; and
