Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi guys...what do you suggest for a relatively small mixer that's 
good, but inexpensive for running the boombox and my headphones?

You might try the Rolls MX28 Mini-Mix VI. It can handle three stereo 
inputs; it has a headphone jack; and it's very small. I don't know 
what your budget is, but you can get this one for $75. I've never 
heard a bad word about it. I use the Rolls headphone mixer, which is 
even cheaper. I know that zzounds carries the MX28, and other Rolls 
mixing options, and they have pretty good descriptions and pictures.

Eurorack makes a couple of compact mixers for $60 - $80.You'll 
probably get two mono channels and two stereo channels. That;s plenty 
for the Xpress, boombox and some extra(you'll be expanding!)
Log onto musician's friend or american musical supply or zzounds or 
any number of online retail outlets. Try ebay for a real good deal!

You're probably referring to the Eurorack series of the German manufacturer
Behringer. I've got the MX602A at home which has the two mono (both XLR and
jack, balanced, phantom power) and two stereo channels. The stereo aux
return can be used as a third stereo input, and it has stereo tape in/out
(which I use to hook up my computer to simultaneously record and playback
previously recorded tracks). It's a great (though very small) mixer, noise
free and all! Really recommend it.

Thanks!  I will check it out!

Get a makie 1202. It will cost more but it is
extremely versitile.

I use a Spirit Folio light, the older one before they went 
wierd-shaped. It is essentially the same as the Mackie 1202.It is 
perfect.I use the extra channels (via the pre-sends) for my personal 
headphone mix.If anyone is interested, i'll elaborate.
In my humble opinion, Mackies are over-priced and over-rated. If you 
look at contract riders for touring acts, Mackies are sometimes listed 
as brands that are unacceptable for the sound rig....
