MIDAS Microphone Preamplifiers: The DM16 is equipped with 12 award-winning MIDAS microphone preamps known for their exceptional transparency and low-noise performance. These preamps provide true +48V phantom power, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microphones, including condenser models. This feature makes the DM16 ideal for both studio recordings and live sound applications, delivering pristine audio quality.

Input Channels and Connectivity: The mixer offers 16 input channels, comprising 12 mono and 2 stereo channels. Each mono channel includes TRS line inputs, mono inserts, and a 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid-frequency. The stereo channels allow for balanced TRS connections and also come with 3-band EQs, facilitating flexibility for various audio sources. Additionally, the mixer includes 2 aux sends and 2 monitor outputs, providing comprehensive connectivity for effects and monitoring.

Enhanced Sound Shaping: The DM16 features a British EQ design that imparts warm tones, allowing users to achieve professional-quality sound. The 3-band EQ on each channel offers precise control over low, mid, and high frequencies, enabling tailored sound shaping to fit different musical styles and environments. This sonic flexibility makes it suitable for a range of applications, from live gigs to studio sessions.

Durability and Control: Built for the rigors of live performance, the DM16 boasts a rugged construction that ensures reliability in demanding environments. The 60 mm faders provide smooth and precise control over audio levels, allowing sound engineers to make quick adjustments during performances. The mixer’s lightweight design (5 kg) further enhances its portability, making it easy to transport to various venues.

Additional Features: The DM16 also includes 2-track RCA I/O for connecting external devices, such as recording gear or playback systems. With peak LEDs and PFL (pre-fade listen) switches on each channel, users can monitor signals effectively. The mixer operates on an internal switch mode power supply, accommodating a wide voltage range, making it suitable for international use.
