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 e ects processing equipment.
Sublimely Musical British EQ
The British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll – without them the
British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of
engineers and producers all over the world. The 3-band channel EQ on our DM12 mixers is based on
that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical
character. The sweepable mid-frequency band provides a broad tonal palette with which to netune the ideal signal. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and
superb audio quality.
