Hi Kris > I have been considering this: > http://www.midi-store.com/Edirol-M10-MX-analog-mixer-p-16896.html > It doesn't have XLR, but they do appear have pre-amps and level control. thanks. Battery-driven, indeed. It seems a bit big, though. Since a real solo travelling setup should be small&light. It's really astonishing there seem to be no simple battery driven mixers. It doesn't have to have 48V phantom. Just 1-2 inputs, mic sensitive. Thanks again Buzap -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
