Yes indeed. We started with a real cheapo Samick 8:2 mixer (35 UK pounds
trade-in) which at least allowed us to use mics with balanced cables and XLR
connectors.
We have now upgraded to an 8-bus Seck mixer with phantom power. These are
about the cheapest pro mixers on the second hand market in the UK- they were
made in the 80's and early 90's and were usually sold as a bundle with Fostex
8-track and 16-track analogue tape machines. Ours has 12 XLR inputs with a
1/4" tape monitor input on each, plus various 1/4" auxillary inputs and 8
independent 1/4" outputs - hence the choice of an M Audio Delta 1010.
They go for about 200-250 pounds here, more if they have the optional
meterbridge. Replacement external power supplies are available, but they are
expensive - so if you see one cheap without a PSU, that's why.
By the power of Google, here's a picture of someone else's 12 XLR input model:
