Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Peter:

I took a look at the mixer you mention and the only drawback I see is
that it will be mono... completely mono. It will mix four mono lines into
one mono line. If you are using this to mix two "brains" then you will
end up with two stereo signals (the two brains) being mixed down to one
mono signal. This would bug me to pieces. No stereo separation, no wide
effects, nothing. Also, there's no place to mix a signal from an extra
source like a CD player or tape deck.

I think you'd be much better off with the Behringer like this:

or maybe something like this:

(If the link is blown, go to musicians friend
(http://www.musiciansfriend.com) and type "PowerMIX lll - Stereo Mini
Mixer"

or maybe take a look at this link:

As this is a used mixer being sold by one of our members and it's already
guaranteed to work with the DTXpress! :)

I  understand that since you're not familiar with mixers that you're not
interested in something complicated, but I'd suggest the ART unit at the
very least so you can have a stereo field through the headphones... :)

PS: It occurred to me that you might be able to get away without a mixer
at all if you pipe the output from your first module into the 1/8" "AUX"
in jack on the front of the DTX itself. Then both modules worth of sound
would come out the single DTX output...
