very simple mixer

I'm looking to buy a very simple (and not too expensive) mixer. So far I've found:

This Leem micro mixer (€25):

It's bigger brother (€35):

And this nice behringer box (€28):

I've also been looking at some 2nd hand stuff, but there isn't much and they all have weird outputs (din, tulp etc).

I'm leaning slightly towards the behringer for it's compactness. 4 channels with a volume knob is all I really need right now. Any thoughts or other suggestions? And is there such a thing as a passive mixer? Because that would be ideal, even at only 2 channels (I could just buy 3 of them haha).

Thanks in advance.

Tapco Mix50. made by Mackie or something.

Thanks for the suggestion, looks good, and an eq will always come in handy. I can't find anywhere to buy it though.

genius hahah

But do they make these with only half a fader?

lol

oh god I hope that's real.

BTW you can build one for pretty cheap if you're into that sort of thing. :)

is tapco no more? :(

They made great stuff.

I have this. It is a thing

I've been looking at building one yeah. Should be doable even with a breadboard (so no soldering :)) and some basic components, which I can get from uni. Might try to build something else sometime (analog polysynth hahaha).

edit: ascdi, how much is the attenuation on that thing? Looks good.

shit, yeah looks they they're not going any more :(

oh well, maybe not a Mix50 then unless 2nd hand...

ya I was eyeing their mix16fx too forever :( They had such a nice brand going!

I bet you could build that DOD mixer for like 20 bucks.

I'd love to build one of these for some wacky routing options. :)
