Get Midas sound quality in a compact mixer with the DM12! This desktop-sized board gives you 8 mic preamps, 2 stereo line ins, 2 aux sends and XLR main outs.

The compact Midas DM12 honors your stage or studio desktop space,while providing incredible sonic performance, amazing versatility - and an unheard of level of affordability.

What is the secret behind DM12's superb, studio-quality sound? TheDM12 features 8 award-winning, MIDAS microphone preamplifiers with true +48 V Phantom Power, acclaimed by audio engineers the world over for their transparency and nuanced low noise, high-headroom design. Add to this TRS Line Inputs on all 12channels (8 mono and 2 stereo), mono channel Inserts and 3-band EQ with mid-frequency sweep, 2 switchable pre/post-fader aux sends, 2 monitor outs and 2-track RCA I/O, and you have an analogue work of art - the fully featured DM12!

Live Performance and Studio Recording

With 12 channels, the DM12 has more than enough microphone and line inputs to manage a small band or worship team with channels to spare - both on the stage and in the studio. It is also the ideal choice for use as a keyboard or drum sub-mixer for larger scale performances.

Dedicated Stereo Inputs

Line channels 9/10 - 11/12 are dedicated stereo channels, making them ideal for stereo instruments, such as keyboards - and can also be used for mono signals thanks to a convenient balance control on each 2-channel grouping. These channels can also be used as return inputs for signals sent external effects processing equipment.

Sublimely Musical British EQ

The British consoles of the 1960s and '70s changed the sound of rock and… read more roll - without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The 3-band channel EQ on our 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 equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.

Dual Aux Sends

The DM12 is also equipped with 2 aux sends with pre/post fader switching for added versatility. Users can select to use them for external effects processing, custom monitor mixes, or a combination of the two. Additional monitoring outputs are provided of the main mix for stage or studio monitor applications.

I really wanted to believe I could buy a Midas analog mixer for $250... but alas the only thing Midas about this mixer is the blue color and the logo stencil. The rest is pure Chinese Behringer. Brittle sounding EQ, sticky uneven fader, mediocre headroom before distortion. Spend the money and buy a Allen and Heath because this mixer is no Midas.
