Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The 3-band channel EQ on DM12 mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. The sweepable mid-frequency band provides a broad tonal palette with which to fine-tune the ideal signal. Even when applied generously, these equalisers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.
The main features of the Midas DDA DM12 Analogue Mixer include:
it's pretty cool for the price. don't expect a fully fledged midas. it's music group (behringer) but having said that, it's pretty cool actually. sturdy and compact. switches/pots good. eq, workable, not bad sounding at all, nothing to write home about and not high end colour devices by any means, but use-able for sure, they don't sound bad at all. very clean mixer, noise floor not a problem. great facility for such a ludicrous price. i like it, and i'm used to working with some very nice gear costing 10 times more. if you have experience and don't expect a neve, then it's a great little mixer for not much money. entry level yes, but good. sounds better than the soundcrafts and mackies.
