Midas DM12 12-channel Analog Mixer
Ideal for both live and studio sound applications, this compact 12-channel analog mixer delivers incredible sound, versatility and value. Outfitted with eight MIDAS microphone preamplifiers that boast +48V phantom power, the DM12 mixer features 12 input channels and a rugged chassis.TheDM12's award-winning MIDAS microphone preamplifiers have gained a reputation around the world for their transparency and nuanced low noise, high-headroom design. Add to this TRS Line Inputs on all 12 channels (8 mono and 2 stereo), mono channel Inserts and 3-band EQ with mid-frequency sweep, two switchable pre/post-fader aux sends, two monitor outs and 2-track RCA I/O, and you have an impressive setup at an unbeatable price.Live Performance and Studio RecordingWith 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 InputsLine 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 EQThe British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and 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 the DM12 mixer 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 SendsThe DM12 is also equipped with two 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.

Midas DN200 Active Stereo DI Box with Extended Dynamic Range
The DN200 offers two channels of high headroom, dynamic response and sonic clarity in a low-profile enclosure. It is ideal for interfacing computers, keyboards, samplers and other electronic musical instruments to mixing consoles, and faithfully reproduces the character of electric and acoustic instruments. DN200 is intended for professional applications where +48 V phantom power is a standard feature on all mixing consoles, and its innovative design results in a significantly higher clipping point than many other active DI Boxes, providing +10 dBu output into a 2KΩ load. This increased headroom means that much higher input signals can be accommodated without the need for an attenuating pad. Combined with a low noise input circuit topology, DN200 offers a wide dynamic range and only requires a single -20 dB pad, which is optimized for use with electronic musical instruments.Balanced transformer-isolated outputsExhaustive listening tests using a wide variety of active and passive bass guitars, electric-acoustic guitars and electronic musical instruments were carried out to select the components for DN200 to achieve the best musical sound. Not only was the choice of the audio transformer particularly important in achieving this goal, but the impedances of the surrounding components were also critical in getting the best performance out of the audio transformers. The line-driving characteristics of the transformer outputs were optimized to provide the best frequency and phase responses for short and long cables and widely differing line and termination impedances.Care was taken in the design of the DN200 to avoid audio transformer core saturation and a fixed high pass filter has been included in the signal path to roll off frequencies below those that are musically important. The lowest note on a 5- or 6-string bass guitar is B0 with a frequency of 30.87 Hz, and the lowest note on an 88-key piano keyboard is A0 with a frequency of 27.50 Hz. DN200 still maintains a frequency response of ±0.5 dB at these lowest musical notes.Dual-Impedance InputsA custom instrumentation-grade input circuit was designed for the DN200 using advanced analogue design techniques to create the very high input impedance required by passive guitar and bass pickups, whilst keeping the actual component values low to minimise noise. This innovative approach to circuit design produces a very low noise floor, which combined with the high clipping point creates an unrivalled dynamic range in a +48 V phantom powered DI Box.DN200 features two Neutrik Combo combined XLR and ¼ " TRS connectors with dual input impedances. When connecting to the XLR input only, the input impedance is 20 kΩ, ideal for line level equipment and offering even lower noise performance. This input impedance is far too low for guitar and bass pickups and is removed from the circuit when a jack plug is inserted into the ¼ " TRS input, resulting in a nominal 1 MΩ input impedance, ideal for passive electric pickups.Stereo RCA Phono inputs are also provided for the connection of consumer audio equipment and also feature a 20 kΩ input impedance. Link output ¼ " TRS jack connectors are also included for each channel.Illuminated 20 dB Pad and Earth (Ground) Lift SwitchesDN200 features illuminated global 20 dB Pad and Ground Lift switches, which act on both channels simultaneously, which along with the individual +48V indicator LEDs for the independent phantom powering of the two channels, provide 'at a glance' status display, even at wide distances and viewing angles. The Ground Lift switch separates the input and output grounds, useful in eliminating earth loops between equipment on different mains electricity supplies.Built for the RoadFeaturing a tough aluminum extrusion, the DN200 is designed for the rigors of live concert touring
