highquality submixer for synths

Im looking for a highquality submixer for mpc and synths with at least 8 channels so i dont have to switch cables all the time and be able to monitor them all at once. Im looking for something a step higher then lets say a mackie cause im afraid it will degrade my soundquality.

Im using avalon 2 U5 di's before going into protools and i also monitor through protools, so i think the mixer main outs will be connected to my DI's.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

thnx for the help

Yes- get a (or several) TT Patchbay and normal your connections.
Far superior than any line mixer.

If you insist on a mixer then I find the Mackie LM3204 is great value, around $300 s/h.
If you want high quality then various options- Manely, Chandler and such. They are $6k+

Why are you planning on connecting a mixer to your DI's?
This is pointless and will f**k up your gain staging.

I use a combination of both- the synths are normalled in a TT patchbay to the mixer inputs so I can not only route them directly to Protools, I can also use the mixers analog EQ or connect them via the line inputs of any of the channel strips, compressors and other outboard by simply patching a few cables.
Definitely the way to go, but requires a bit of research and patience to get it all working.

Check out the Manley line mixer. Hope you have some $$$, cuz it ain't cheap.
