None of the options on your diagrams show the key piece.... A DI BOX.

I'd use a standard "insert cable" which is a stereo 1/4 inch plug wired to 2 mono 1/4" plugs.


Connect the stereo plug to the keyboard.
Connect the two mono plugs to the 2 jacks of a standard DI box.

Connect the DI box to your mixer via a standard XLR mic cable.



But ... a keyboard L+R more commonly used on a single stereo input channel.

Unless one wants to get 'clever' and be able to pan more exotically,
though other settings will need to be duplicated on the two input channels.

Any (commonly) desks with a stereo channel with two XLR ins ?

Yes, my suggestion sums the L+R to a single mono input.
or uses only L or R into a mono input channel.
Unless I misunderstood you, we are in agreement.

OP, did you want to feed a true stereo signal to the mixer or mono?
