Introduction
The centerpiece of your mastering studio
The new DMC Mastering Console – modell 1690/1694 is engineered from the ground-up
making it not only more flexible with better specs than SPL’s previous console, but also
more ergonomic and sized to fit in all types of studio furniture.
The 3RU console has 4 stereo inputs and 4 stereo sources, with 2 stereo recording out-
puts, as well as 3 stereo and 2 mono speaker outputs that can be expanded with the new
MC16 controller.
The new DMC console operates on the same unequaled 120V DC audio rail like each of
the other SPL Mastering Series processors. The new DMC console is priced at half of its
predecessor, and yet offers more features and improved audio performance.
Mastering engineer Michael Romanowski is using a new DMC console at his “Coast
Mastering” studio with great results:
“The new DMC is the heart of my mastering system.”
“I like how much headroom the audio has ... I can count on what I’m hearing to be
accurate.
“The most important things for me about the DMC are its transparency, its flexibility in
gain structure, and its monitoring capabilities. And with emerging markets for immersive
audio, its ability to expand the channel count is a necessity. Those are the biggest rea-
sons that I choose to use the DMC.”
The DMC Mastering Console was designed, developed and manufactured in Germany.
