Do you really want a mixer? How about a switch selector and a gain control?
You'll only be able to listen to one source at a time, but you won't have
all the summing junk that is inside a mixer.

i'm looking to get a small rack mixer (peferrably 1U, no more than 2U)
and would appreciate any recommendations in the $US650 (preferrably
US$450) range. basically, i have a rolls rm203 line mixer i want to
replace because although it fits perfectly in my rack, it is NOT
transparant enough for monitoring during tracking and mixing.

my input requirementa
* cd player (stereo)
* 2 keyboards (stereo)
* 2 channels of RME Multiface (for monitoring recording/mixing)

my output requirements:
* output to powered event 20/20's (stereo)
* output to headphone amp (stereo).

so far in my research the rane sm82 seems like a good option. any
opinions on its transparancy? or perhaps any units i should be looking

The SM82 is not very transparent. It's a bit noisy and seems to muffle the
sound some. Not terrible but not exactly transparent.
