Hi everybody, this might not be a question about drums, it might technically be about mixers, but I want to use a mixer with at least 8 XLR inputs to mic a drum kit and send the whole kit to a PA in stereo so the panning is retained.
I looked at the Behringer mixers with that many XLR inputs because I use a little Behringer Xenyx 802 for something else, and I found that neither of the mixers I’ve looked at so far (Xenyx X2222USB and Xenyx X2442USB), seem to have any main outputs. They just seem to have AUX return, AUX send and FX send outputs, and one of them has two headphones sockets A and B.
I was therefor wondering, what kind of mixer would you use to mic a drum kit and what kind of outputs does it have for stereo output? I was hopping for a pair of XLR or 1/4 inch jack outputs.
Thanks for your help,
Gareth
