This mixer is designed to fit snugly on your desktop, offering an unheard-of level of affordability without compromising on quality.
At the heart of the DM16’s exceptional sound is a set of 12 award-winning MIDAS microphone preamplifiers, renowned worldwide for their transparency, low noise, and high-headroom design. These preamps feature true +48 V Phantom Power, providing studio-quality sound that audio engineers appreciate. The mixer also boasts TRS Line Inputs on all 16 channels, mono channel Inserts, and a 3-band EQ with mid-frequency sweep for detailed tonal control.
The Midas DM16 is a simple yet powerful mixing solution with 12 mono inputs and two stereo input channels, suitable for small bands or worship teams. The 12 Midas microphone preamps deliver outstanding sonic detail and ultra-low noise. With two switchable pre/post-fader aux sends, two monitor outs, and 2-track RCA I/O, the DM16 is a versatile analogue work of art.
Versatile Input Channels
The DM16 offers 16 input channels suitable for both live performances and studio recordings. With 12 mono inputs featuring award-winning MIDAS microphone preamplifiers and two electronically-balanced stereo line input channels, this mixer provides ample flexibility to manage small bands, worship teams, or even serve as a sub-mixer for instruments like keyboards or drums in larger-scale performances.
Dedicated Stereo Inputs with Balance Control
Channels 13/14 - 15/16 on the DM16 are dedicated stereo channels, ideal for handling stereo instruments such as keyboards. These channels can also accommodate mono signals thanks to a convenient balance control on each 2-channel grouping. Additionally, these stereo channels can serve as return inputs for signals sent to external effects processing equipment, adding to the mixer's versatility.
Sublimely Musical British EQ
Drawing inspiration from the iconic British consoles of the 1960s and '70s, the DM16 features a 3-band channel EQ based on that legendary circuitry. This EQ imparts signals with warmth and detailed musical character. The sweepable mid-frequency band allows for a broad tonal palette, providing precise control to fine-tune the ideal signal. Even when applied generously, the equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.
Dual Aux Sends with Pre/Post Fader Switching
The DM16 is equipped with two aux sends that feature pre/post fader switching, adding a layer of versatility. Users can employ these aux sends for external effects processing, create custom monitor mixes, or use a combination of both. The additional monitoring outputs of the main mix further enhance the mixer's adaptability for stage or studio monitor applications.
