MIDAS DM16 Mixer

MIDAS DM16 16-Input Analogue Mixer

The MIDAS DM16 is a 16-input analogue mixer designed for live sound, studio recording, keyboard setups and drum submixing.

The compact mixer features 12 mono input channels equipped with MIDAS microphone preamplifiers, balanced XLR microphone inputs, balanced 1/4-inch TRS line inputs and channel inserts. Global +48 V phantom power is available for condenser microphones and active DI boxes.

Each mono channel provides a 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid-frequency control from 150 Hz to 3.5 kHz. The two dedicated stereo channels are suitable for keyboards, playback devices and stereo effects returns, while balance controls also allow them to accommodate mono signals.

Two auxiliary sends can be switched between pre-fader and post-fader operation for monitor mixes or external effects. The DM16 also provides dedicated monitor outputs, 2-track RCA inputs and outputs, a headphone output, channel PFL and mute controls, peak indicators and precise 60 mm faders.
