So ... I'd like to blend the LR Baggs M1 pickup that's installed in my Seagull with a small clip-on condenser mic, and I'm trying to find the easiest way to do it. It's getting complicated, so I'm wondering if there's a way that I'm not seeing. Here are some key elements:

1) I've discovered that with a graphic EQ, I can take care of any feedback problems with the condenser, so I need to have that inline at some point. It's a rack-mountable DOD 31-band EQ.

2) I want to be able to control the combined output with a volume pedal.

3) The condenser is battery powered, but it will require a mic pre obviously.

4) The M1 pickup runs through my LR Baggs Gigpro preamp. When it's the only signal, that normally runs through the tuner ---> volume pedal ---> direct box ----> mixer.


What I had come up with so far is having a small mixer to sub-mix before going to the main mixer. Something like this:

That would allow me to preamp the condenser and M1 and then mix them to a single signal running out and into the EQ, tuner, volume, and then into the main mixer.

Is this the easiest way, or am I missing something simpler?

Thanks for any input.
