There are so many, I don't know where to start....

Direct outs are usually pre EQ and pre-fader, so, the board you choose has more to do with whatever else you want the board to do. If not, what you really want is a unit with 8 pre-amps and nothing else.

I think the Direct Outs are pre fader on this board. However, I think the Mackie 1604VLZPro has them post trim, EQ, fader and mutes. Check Mackie's newer mixers as well. I don't know much about 'em, but I do know they're built quite a bit better than Behringer. Besides, the mixer in that auction doesn't even include the power supply. ...or work!

"AS IS! This unit does not work. THE POWER SUPPLY DOES NOT COME WITH THE UNIT! I know it is in the picture. IT IS NOT INCLUDED! For parts. The actual power of the unit does not work. Not sure how it broke."


Yikes.

Be careful.

Spirit M-series (e.g. M8) are also worth a look for this role.

There used to be boards out there with a 'recording output" where the output was post EQ and fader.

I haven't seen that much lately.

The Allen-Heath GL3300 has direct outs that that can be configured internally to be pre/post EQ and pre/post Mute.

One of my favorite small footprint live boards.

The smaller MixWizard is the same. I've got mine configured post-insert, post-EQ and post-fader...lots of options for me!
