Mixing inside of a computer is difficult enough in stereo, and when you start working on surround projects, managing and monitoring all of the ins and outs becomes more like air traffic control. The DM-3200 becomes your control center for mixing large projects with dozens of channels. It can mix your tracks with one snapshot, and with two button presses you’re ready to transfer them

to a dubber or video deck.

Just connect your DAW interface,like Digidesign’s 192 Digital I/O for Pro Tools®, to one of the digital connections on the rear panel (or use our optional IF-FW/DM FireWire interface card). The DM-3200 even acts as a HUI controller for Pro Tools, allowing you to mix some channels in the DAW and others in the console.

The DM-3200 is an outstanding choice for mix- ing in surround, with 5.1 and even 6.1 automated panning. The 16 busses become two surround

busses in surround mode, allowing you to buss channels to discrete stems. The optional IF-SM/DM Surround Monitoring card provides downmixing to stereo, individual output solo/mute and bass management features to the console.
