I currently have the Behringer MX602A, which is fine for straight-through recording, but since I'm thinking about attaching both my speakers and headphones to it, I'd like a mixer which doesn't affect the sound quality of the speakers so much.
Here's my needs for the mixer:
· Must have at least 2 x XLR inputs (more than 4 not needed)
· Does not affect monitoring sound quality much/if at all
· An output for both the headphones (3.5mm, or 1/4" TRS through an adapter) and monitors (1/4" TRS or XLR) with a volume control
· Has good quality recording sound/doesn't affect recording sound
· Is not too big
· Price range: up to 500 euros (600 $USD)
Or I'm also open for any other types of devices that provide those. I've checked out the Edirol UA-25, which seems nice, but some people tell the sound quality leaves something to be desired and also that USB connection is not very good for audio stuff.
Here's a few mixers I've been looking at:
Mackie 1202 VLZ PRO

Mackie ONYX 1220

Mackie DFX 6

And finally my current gear:
Shure SM57
Behringer MX602A
Behringer Truth B2030A
M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496
+ possibly Røde NT1A
