Live Performance and Studio Recording

With 12 channels, the DM-12 has enough microphone and line inputs for a small band or worship team.

It also works well in the studio and as a keyboard or drum sub-mixer for larger performances.

Dedicated Stereo Inputs

Line channels 9/10 – 11/12 are dedicated stereo channels for keyboards and other stereo instruments.

They can also handle mono signals thanks to a convenient balance control on each 2-channel grouping.

These channels may also serve as return inputs for signals sent to external effects processing equipment.

Midas DM-12 British EQ

The 3-band channel EQ is based on classic British console circuitry that helped define generations of recorded sound.

The swappable mid-frequency band gives you a broad tonal palette for fine-tuning the ideal signal.

Even with generous adjustment, the equalizers maintain musical character and strong audio quality.

Dual Aux Sends

The DM-12 includes 2 aux sends with pre/post fader switching for added flexibility.

Use them for external effects processing, custom monitor mixes, or a combination of both.

Classic Precision

All 60 mm faders are designed for long life and precise level setting over years of regular use.

Quality is Job #1

Its rugged construction and top-of-the-range components support dependable performance in portable applications.

That unmistakable Midas sound makes the Midas DM-12 a professional analogue console.
