I need a capable mixer with 8-12 inputs and four or more a headphone AUX sends which can each get its own mix, with the Main output into an iPhone. Any ideas?

Not sure for that many aux sends. Maybe something like a Soundcraft Signature MTK board. Otherwise I use a Yamaha MG10XU, but that only has one aux send. Maybe look at digital options.

The new Zoom mixers are supposedly optimized for this and have built-in headphone distribution, but I don't know how customized the individual headphone feeds can be -- possibly not at all, just individual level settings.

Another vote for the digital XR18 option. I now have two of them, one for gigs and an emergency backup. The XR18 (vs XR16) also makes a fantastic front-end for your DAW.
If they could only do 96k I'd get one (or maybe an X32 Producer) as a studio interface in a heartbeat. Even though I'm happy to record at 48k a lot of the time, too many other folks I know track at 96k for me to feel set with an interface that doesn't work at that rate at all. It's a killer live mixer.

 

Should point out that while it does have six customizable aux outs, they are XLR outs; there's only one phone output. When my band got one and switched to in-ears, we all needed to get the P2 in-ear amplifiers.

Yeah, for my bar band stuff 48k is way more than enough. The XR18 is $600 here in the US, I got mine for $450 each by calling around. Smokin' deal.

 

The $40 for each P2 wasn't a deal killer for anyone. Lots of folks going through the IEM learning curve, pay your money for the nice ride. I let them try mine. BTW, not all of my band is doing IEMs -- but most of them are.

 

If we just could convince the drummer :)
