Tapco Mix.50 as blender/pre

I'm looking for a way to combine my pickup (realist) with a mic into my single input Acoustic Image. All the actual mic pres I've seen have two outs instead of a single combined signal, so I think I need to look at compact mixers. I've heard good things about tapco and the mix.50 looks appealing. What do you guys think?

Only the mic channel has eq, leaving you without tonal adjustment for the pickup.

Turns out the mix.50 doesn't have phantom power either, so I guess I'd have to go with the mix.60 which is unfortunatly a little bigger.

Chris, had you considered the DTAR Solstice?

Not cheap (over $300), but "rich" w/ features.

The EQ is not tailored specifically for bass - probably more for acoustic guitar I'm guessing. Doesn't bother me though since I run it flat.

Another option might be a used Raven Labs blender. You'd have to look for a used one since I believe they are not in production anymore.
