and look for line mixers. I need to find a small line mixer, just 2 inputs is all I require, to use to mix my 2 keyboards live for the 1 input to the FOH. I was using my mixing amplifer as a monitor and used the mixer on it to perform the mixing function for the 2 keyboards. but we recently obtained Avioms for monitoring and I had to remove my mixing amplifer. so I need a small line mixer in order to continue to use both keyboards.

A 20 something year old GC drone (I am serious about his age!) comes up and asks if I need help.

GC Drone: do you need some help?
Me: yes, I see a lot of analog mixers here, but I don't see any Line Mixers.
GC Drone: Line Mixers?
Me: Yes, I just need a simple line mixer, I dont need more than 2 inputs.
GC Drone: what's a Line Mixer?

You're lucky he didn't say "Line6 makes mixers??"

you just need one of those cheapie Rolls or ART mixers that are the size of a stompbox for $35.  But I might suggest you get something a tad bigger, like those notebook sized ones....Those little Spirit mixers, etc.  Cause you might need more in the future, ya never know and the extra $20 now will be wisely spent.  Besides, you need to tell the FOH to run you in stereo...at least in the IEM!  That means 4 channels!
 
How's that for a dude that's 61?    However, give the kid some slack, unless he's a total slacker.  You have to start somewhere and GC is a great place to have people tell you what you need to know!

Those rolls or art stomp box size were exactly what I was looking for. But they didn't have them. Nor did they have the rack mounted line mixers, just the regular analog mixers.

Ha, true he does need to start somewhere! But I did know equipment when. I was his age.

Actually I ended up getting a 6 channel Alto mixer with tape I/O and EQ. It was on sale for $41
