We compute CBR anisotropies in mixed models with different hot components, including neutrinos or volatile HDM arising from the decay of heavier particles. The CBR power spectra of these models exhibit a higher doppler peak than CDM, and the discrepancy is even stronger in volatile models when the decay gives rise also to a neutral scalar. CBR experiments, together with Large Scale Structure (LSS) data, are then used to constrain the space parameter of mixed models, when values of the primeval spectral index n > 1 are also considered. Even if n>1 is allowed, however, LSS alone prescribes that \Omega_h \mincir 0.30. LSS can be fitted by taking simultaneously a low derelativization redshift z_der (down to \simeq 600) and a high n, while CBR data from baloon--borne experiment cause a severe selection on this part of the parameter space. In fact, while late derelativization and $n>1$ have opposite effects on the fluctuation spectrum P(k), they sum their action on the angular spectrum C_l. Henceforth n \magcir 1.3 seems excluded by baloon--borne experiment outputs, while a good fit of almost all CBR and LSS data is found for Omega_h values between 0.11 and 0.16, n \sim 1.1 and z_der \sim 2000--5000. A smaller n is allowed, but z_der should never be smaller than \simeq 1200.
