How this manual is arranged
In addition to this manual, we also provide a Quick
Reference Guide, which you can use to remind you
of the quick ways in which common operations are
carried out.
Even if you are familiar with the operation of mixers
and digital mixers, and even if you never usually read
instruction manuals, we suggest that you read the
first few sections of this manual. They will provide
useful background information for you as you use the
DM-24.
The other sections of this manual are more in the
nature of background reference, and contain informa-
tion that you may not need for everyday working.
1 – “Introduction” on page 8 : This section.
It provides an overview of the DM-24, its operational
features, and the manual.
2 – “User interface” on page 12 : This sec-

how to access the different screens, change values of
parameters and so on.
3 – “System-wide options” on page 20 :

use the unit,
4 – “Parts of the DM-24” on page 28 : This

is impossible to give a full description of the use of
each control in this section. A description of the top
and rear panel connectors is also provided,
5 – “Setting up the I/O” on page 36 :
Because the DM-24 is essentially a “soft” product,
many of the hardware features are not mapped to log-
ical functions on a one-to-one basis. This section
explains the different mapping and routing options
available to you, and how to configure the DM-24 for
your individual requirements.
6 – “Hookup” on page 44 : Explains how to
connect the DM-24 to other equipment (analog and
digital audio, control and timing connections, etc.).
7 – “Module operations” on page 49 : In
many ways, this can be regarded as the most essential
part of the manual. It explains how to carry out the
