MIDAS DM12 Mixer

MIDAS DM12 12-Input Analogue Mixer

The MIDAS DM12 is a 12-input analogue mixer designed for live sound, studio recording, keyboard setups and drum submixing.

The compact mixer provides eight mono channels with MIDAS microphone preamplifiers, balanced XLR microphone inputs, 1/4-inch TRS line inputs and channel inserts. Global +48 V phantom power supports condenser microphones and other compatible active audio equipment.

Each mono channel features a 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid-frequency range from 150 Hz to 3.5 kHz. Dedicated stereo channels 9/10 and 11/12 accommodate keyboards, playback equipment and return signals from external effects processors. They can also be used with mono sources when only one input is connected.

Two auxiliary sends can operate pre-fader or post-fader, allowing them to be used for monitor mixes, external effects or a combination of both. The DM12 also provides dedicated monitor outputs, 2-track RCA input and recording output, a headphone output, PFL and mute controls, peak indicators and precise 60 mm faders.
