That's messed up. First off, is the mixer the problem? I.e. can you run an IPod, CD Player, etc into your amp and hear sound? Do your turntables still produce sound (maybe hard to do without a phono preamp or mixer, but worth checking).
If so, the mixer is kinda shot. You can try getting it replaced under warranty from Stanton. It's weird that you could build up enough static charge to fry it -- for one thing the chassis is grounded, so any electrical charge should have gone straight to ground. For another, all static-sensitive components (and there really shouldn't be many) should not be vulnernerable because the path of least resistance is through chassis ground. But there's a first time for everything. Let me know what you find out. I've been messing around with stereo gear longer than you've been alive and never heard of anything like this.
