Used Allen Heath Mix Wizard 14:4:2 perhaps??

The 16:2 was aimed at live use, the 20:8:2 at recording and the 14:4:2 was nicely aimed in between the two with, for example, HP Filters and EQ in/out switches and so on, plus also had a few nifty tricks up its' sleeve to configure it as a 6 bus live monitor console .... so very vesatile, clean and I think a nice investment.
Probably get one for around 500 - 600 US$ ... ??

A nice CHEAP (used) console for this low end cheap type application for me is the Soundcraft Spirit SX which absolutley SMOKES the Berry-Crap. You get 12 XLR lines, direct outs and 100mm faders which is a big plus at this price.
I see them quite often around the 200 - 300 US$ region.

Just my 0.2c

Ciao
