So I'm new to anything related to audio and getting into this for the first time with some friends so bare with me for not understanding.

The DBX 286s has only one XLR input so would you not need 4 of these to equal one MDX4600 or would you use something in front of the DBX 286s in order to have more than one MIC input than put it through the DBX286?

The MDX4600 for someone who's never touched something like this seems like the better option for someone new because of the 4 XLR inputs, but I also know you're the professional.

Is the MDX better for someone just starting out (trying to make it to the professional level recording) or am I thinking about this all wrong?

Thank you in advance!
