We use an M7 downstairs in the sanctuary and two of the omni outputs on it are stereo left and right. That signal comes up to a little crappy Mackie Mixer that is ancient and gives off a nice little buzz. The output from the Mackie goes to the Rane Splitter. One of those signals are sent to a Haivision Streaming Server because we are a multi campus church where we stream the sermons live. Another signal goes to a Aja Ki-Pro device that records the service. Another goes to a computer in our editing room that is also recording as our back-up in case the Ki-Pro crashed because one of our campuses gets there sermon on a drive each week. Another signal goes to a CD recorder to make cds each week. Other signals are run to tvs just outside the room and then to other tvs around the building as part of a closed circuit system. Not all of these devices take in the same signal level, that is why I am needing control of each output. All devices are needing to be run stereo though because that is how the signal is coming in. I know our current system works but they are wanting to get it all combined down into one device and just clean that whole system up a little bit.
It doesn't sound like you need to monitor the mix at all. You want to set it and forget it and adjust the gain on the device receiving the signal. Adjusting the levels during the recording usually tends to have some undesirable results. Just my $0.02.
