searching for a mixer

Hello to all,

I would like to get rid of my cheap mixer to try to get the cleanest sound possible. I would like to have some mixer consisting in "pasive" elements, without any power source or faders that can inject undesirable noise.

In principle I am searching for a mixer made of high quality switches to select or mute the channels that come from my instruments, compressor, pedals, microphone or sound modules. Then, these will go to the input of the SCard. The output will be directed to the headphones or to the monitors, and it will have a fader to control de volume of the headphones (I don't care about cheap faders on the output).

The level of the signal will be set independently before it enters to this box, that's why I mainly need only switches.

I haven't seen such a device in the market, but I am not an specialist. Do you have any reference?

In case I am not lucky, where I could search to make this device by myself, (advices, suppliers, etc)?

Thanks in advance,

Alejo.
 
Thanks to all for the links and the advices. I was looking for something like the dangerous, but less expensive and with less inputs, since I only need 4 mono and 1 stereo. I cannot afford a DAW either (I wish).

So the next question is how to fabricate an audio mixing box. And then it comes a bunch of questions such as how good a switch or a good fader should be. The specs for switches I found on catalloges for industrial applications tell me that the lowest contact resistance they offer is 0.01 Ohm, but I donnow if this is good enough for audio or not. I cannot open my cheap mixer to compare switches without destroy the mixer. In principle, this contact resistance would be the most important thing, but they could come another specs that I haven't pay attention to.

Does anybody know about this issue?

Again, thanks a lot.

Alejo.
