I'm looking for a 10+ channel (stereo) line mixer with serial port control capability. I've found a couple made by Behringer and Sampson. However, they only have one or two outputs on them.
I really need something that has multiple outputs so I can route certain input channels to specific outputs, kind of like an HDMI matrix, but for audio.
Any ideas? Would this be called something other than a mixer?
As for what I'm doing, I'm replacing a Niles audio distribution system with something I can control via my home automation gear.
I will have multiple devices plugged into the inputs on the mixer. I need roughly 10 outputs on the mixer, and each output will run to a separate amp for each room. This way, I can go in and select a source and one or more destinations, and then have it route the audio properly. The *outputs* on the mixer must have level control so I can control the volume of the output and not have to rely on controlling the volume of the source. I also need to be able to mix multiple sources into a single (or multiple) outputs because I have voice alerts for my alarm/home automation system that I want to be able to get all the time.
