The compact DM12 honours yourstage or studio desktop space,while providing incredible sonicperformance, amazing versatility � andan unheard of level of affordability.
What is the secret behind DM12’ssuperb, studio-quality sound? TheDM12 features 8 award-winning,Midas microphone preamplifi ers withtrue +48 V Phantom Power, acclaimedby audio engineers the world over for their transparency and nuancedlow noise, high-headroom design. Add to this TRS Line Inputs on all 12channels (8 mono and 2 stereo), mono channel Inserts and 3-band EQ withmid-frequency sweep, 2 switchable pre/post-fader aux sends, 2 monitorouts and 2-track RCA I/O, and you have an analogue work of art � the fullyfeatured DM12!
With 12 channels, the DM12 has more than enough microphone and line inputs to manage a small band or worship team with channels to spare – both on the stage and in the studio. It is also the ideal choice for use as a keyboard or drum sub-mixer for larger scale performances.
Dedicated Stereo Inputs
Line channels 9/10 – 11/12 are dedicated stereo channels, making them ideal for stereo instruments, such as keyboards – and can also be used for mono signals thanks to a convenient balance control on each 2-channel grouping. These channels can also be used as return inputs for signals sent external effects processing equipment.
