Does anyone know of a commercially available mixer that takes 3.5mm (1/8") mono inputs?
Something like this, but with the smaller sockets (mic level inputs preferably):

Getting warmed up for a self-build or butchery of existing unit, but just thought I'd enquire here before I get the soldering iron out and start wrecking things.

Re: 3.5mm Mono Mixer?
How about 1/8" adapters and use whatever mixer you have?

Or have I misunderstood?
By the way, that particular mixer is a madman at picking up stray radio signals when you touch it, after a few weeks of use.

Re: 3.5mm Mono Mixer?
Yes, I'm using adaptors and things to get around it but just wondered if there was a 3.5mm mixer version "out-of-the-box" so I can avoid using them (I generally find sticking size adaptor plugs into things makes the connection a bit unreliable...)
That mixer is a bit odd, I have one and particularly like how it breaks up when you overdrive it with a line signal. Not had radio interference but is certainly noisy and lo-fi.
Closest I can find to what I'm after at the moment is this:

Stereo 3.5mm inputs, but should handle a 3.5mm mono input at a guess... line level though, rather than mic.
Not sure if there are any others?

Re: 3.5mm Mono Mixer?
I've got the mic-level version of that four channel Rolls mixer. and naturally it has XLRs. To be honest I'd be surprised if anything except old cassette and mini-disc recorders had a mic-in that was 3.5mm.
Go forth and build Phil.

No, self-build appears to be the only option.
Easy enough, time permitting.
