Essential Information About the DM12 Analog Mixing Console
- 16 inputs suitable for live and studio use, with dedicated mono and stereo channels for keyboards and stereo sources
- Midas microphone preamps with +48 V phantom power for transparent and quiet sound capture
- 3-band "British" equalizer with sweepable mids to precisely shape your tone
- 2 pre/post fader auxiliary sends, 60 mm faders, and rugged chassis ready for the road
A "British" Heritage at the Heart of Your Mix
Inspired by British consoles from the 1960s-70s, the DM12 carries this sought-after musical character. Its 3-band EQ, designed in this spirit, offers immediate warmth and a tolerance that facilitates significant adjustments without harshness. Combined with Midas microphone preamps, these circuits deliver a detailed sound image and a very low noise floor.
For Live, Studio, and Dedicated Submixes
Compact, the DM12 fits equally well front-of-house for a band or worship team, as well as in project studios. The stereo channels are perfect for keyboards, drum machines, or players, while the auxiliary sends allow for customized monitor mixes or sending to external effects.
Features, Routing, and User Comfort
Dedicated Stereo Inputs and Effects Returns
Pairs 9/10 and 11/12 accommodate your stereo sources and can serve as effects returns. The balance control makes integrating a mono or stereo signal hassle-free.
Flexible Routing and Monitoring
Two switchable pre/post fader auxiliaries cover both stage mixes and effects. The monitoring section offers monitor outputs, headphone output, and 2-track RCA inputs/outputs for quick playback or recording.
Precision and Durability
The 60 mm faders ensure precise and repeatable movements. The careful construction and universal switching power supply (100-240 V) guarantee reliability and mobility, from rehearsal to stage.
