Frequently Asked Questions
The DM12’s preamps offer a very similar sonic character to their larger counterparts, providing a clean and punchy signal, though with slightly less headroom overall.
The EQ is quite usable – the tunable mids are a real asset for shaping vocals and instruments without getting overly aggressive.
While technically possible, the limited number of mono inputs makes it less than ideal for a full drum kit recording; you’d be making some tough choices.
