This looks like a good way to mix both a pickup and mic from a dobro:

Has anyone tried it? I can't tell if it has 2 1/4" inputs or not. It doesn't look like it has a mic input??! Would I have to get an adapter/transformer to input a mic? |

According to the mix pro manual the 1/4 inch input is a stereo jack. The tip is one channel and the middle ring is the second. The web site link is wrong as it gives you the para_di manual. I just replaced the para_di_manual with mixpro_manual and the correct manual popped up.
I have not used this unit but the folks on the www.mandolincafe.com talk about these products fairly often. Most have good things to say from what I can remember.

| A Mixpro has only one stereo input on a TRS 1/4 inch jack. You would have to figure out how to get a mic and a pickup to go down the same wire, from the dobro. Personally I wouldn't go to the trouble as there is a time delay difference between the mic and pickup signals, and mixing them together never sounds as good as one or the other. |

| Behringer makes a $60 mixer with 2 XLR channels and two stereo 1/4" channels that does a great job. Also has phantom power. It's like a swiss army knife. Model 604, I think. |
