y adding a FireWire connection directly to

the DM-24, we’ve replaced the need for costly

computer audio interfaces. The DM-24 is a very

capable recording console, with 16 mic pres with

phantom power, 32 input channels with 4-band

EQ and great-sounding dynamics processing like

compression and gating. The IF-FW/DM FireWire

computer interface allows your computer to work

more effi ciently as an recorder/editor/plug-in host,

while the DM-24 handles mixing and I/O. It also has

a MIDI input and output, for use with synthesizers,

MIDI Machine Control, and effects.

Up to 24-channels of mic, line and digital sources

can be simultaneously recorded to your computer

DAW software at 48kHz. The DM-24 has three built-

in effects processors for rich-sounding mixes. You

can also use four of its six aux sends to take ad-

vantage of external hardware effects processors,

or use one of four assignable insert points during

mixdown for use with compressors. By combin-

ing the DM-24’s processing with external devices

and your DAW’s plug-ins, you can utilize the best

features of all your studio’s components.

I

f you take your studio on the road, the DM-24

and IF-FW/DM are ready to record. With 16 mic

preamps, 16 insert points and built-in compres-

sion and gating, the DM-24 carries a remote truck’s

worth of mixing power in a compact space. Add

the MU-24 meter bridge for an instant view of

your input levels, giving you time to stop distor-

tion before it ruins a recording.

The sixteen high-headroom mic preamps can

select phantom power in banks of four, giving you

more choices while recording. Add a multichannel

mic preamp with digital output when you need

more than 16 microphone inputs. Its 16 moving

channel faders can be fl ipped in an instant, for

quick level changes and to monitor the 24 channels

coming back from your computer DAW software.

You can even start and stop the DAW’s recording

with the front panel transport keys.

You can also use the DM-24 as your front-of-

house mixing console during the show, simulta-

neously recording the performance using the IF-

FW/DM. Snapshot recall makes the DM-24 an ideal

mixer for sound reinforcement or church services,

allowing you to instantly switch mix settings for

another song or performer.
