Out of the two mixers I'd go with that second choice, which evidently has a balanced XLR input that should match the cable to your Shure mic.

If your keyboard is hooked up to the EMU and especially via the EMU's MIDI input as well as Audio inputs, once you invoke the Samson thingy as output, well, you just bypassed the use of the EMU.

That Samson mic is trouble, my friend.

You may be able to select it as INput only and then use the EMU as output card.

In PT or RB, you can select more than one audio input at a time by highlighting both, BTW.
