You need a mic preamp sure, the input on the jig is expecting line level voltage. But as to the rest of the jiggery-pokery that mixer can do, no.

I just use the jig, soundcard, amplifier, mic+preamp and thats about it.

What kind of amplifier, mic+preamp do you use?

I'm using the Behringer ECM8000 mix with the 802 mixer. The combo came to ~$130 iirc. If you haven't built the jig yet, I highly suggest using Claudio's cable jigs until you get the program set up and working. IMO, the wallin jig just adds complexity to an already steep learning curve. Additionally, if you are having trouble getting it setup, the wallin jig makes it alot harder to troubleshoot. With the cable jigs, you can take a quick glance at the hookups and know everything is hooked up right. With the wallin jig, it's alot harder to eliminate wiring as a problem, since there's many connections, and it could be something like a bad solder joint or a bad switch that's the problem.

Amplifier is just any old amp, I use an 80watt I built. The mic is a panasonic WM61A catridge set up in the way thats probably listed in DIYaudio several times. The preamp again is a DIY thing. Simple opamp with gain.

I dont know what Claudio's is but I guess a google, or DIY audio search would give you the answers.

Rather than having a box that does everything (like the wallin jigs), the Claudio jigs consist of a few different cables for different tasks. They're a little more cumbersome to use, but it's easy to look at them and say "ok, everything is definitely hooked up right" if you're having trouble.

I think one can use hi-low speaker signal converter (like one used in car audio) instead of diy voltage divider. They are very cheap.
