I need a submixer to premix the outputs from my guitar synths, hoping for a small compact 4 channel mixer with balanced stereo TRS inputs (so 2 TRS jacks per input channel plus 2 for output) - anyone know of such a thing? I found a small one from Behringer that did 3 channels, but I want 4. Everything seems to be RCA inputs or unbalanced TRS stereo input...

I've ordered this. Looks simple so maybe less can go wrong.

Behringer Flow 8 has stereo inputs on TRS for channels 5-6 and 7-8.
You can use channels 1-2 with a TRS-XLR cable and pan them L-R for stereo.
You can use channels 3-4 with TRS and band them L-R for stereo.

I haven't looked at the user manual both maybe you can configure channel 1-2 and channel 3-4 for stereo.

Almost every mixers have balanced output on XLR or TRS.

Get in touch with Saturnworks, they will build one for you and are affordable. They have done a number of custom buffered splits and summing boxes for my needs, never had a problem or failure. Saturnworks Pedals - Shop

I'm actually a customer already, never thought of asking them for this, but yeah, sounds like a good bet! Can't be all that hard to build...

As long as you just need minimal path summing and not eq etc this is a better option than small audio mixers which have a higher noise floor and cheaper component quality, ending in a noticeably degraded signal in direct comparison.

yeah I'm ok leaving the EQ to the mixed signal output when it hits the main board. 4 volume knobs, plus a 5th for master vol fader, that'll do, thanks.

They are TRS. The left one will do stereo, And they recommend TRS balanced even for the individual left and right. I actually have one not just looking at an online manual

is this documented somewhere or just from experimentation? their website is pretty clear that they are TS only

No not from experimentation, Right now one channel I have a stereo TRS 1/4 to 1/8 connected to my phone on channel 2 and I did a left right sweep

Remember MiniMix Pro -

It also says it in the manual and the diagram, The left is stereo TRS, The output although will work on TS is recommended to use TRS left and right (balanced out)

If you haver balance out from your device, you can use TRS even on the individual channel in,

Maybe read the manual again.
