Like the DM-24, the DM-3200 makes a reliable choice for sound reinforcement. Its 16 mic in- puts give you plenty of channels for performances or services, and more mic inputs can be added as needed using external rackmount preamps with digital outputs. Each of the 32 channels features four-band parametric EQ, gating and compression processing. Two built-in effects processors can ac- cess a variety of great-sounding effects processors,

including a reverb processor by TC Works.

If you’re the one installing the DM-3200 into a facility, you can program a variety of settings and back up your programs to a Compact Flash card. Recalling snapshots is done using dedicated buttons on the front panel, so loading a mixer setting is as simple as changing channels on a TV remote.

The rear panel of the DM-3200 is well-stocked with balanced and digital I/O, allowing ample con- nectivity to crossovers, as well as CD and cassette recorders such as our popular CC-222 mkII.
