The DM3 is a seriously impressive little mixer. It’s ideal for streamers, smaller studios, or anyone needing a compact, powerful control surface with a slick digital workflow and excellent routing options thanks to Dante. The touchscreen is genuinely well-implemented, and the included Cubase AI is a great bonus for getting started.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the DM3 supports HUI protocol, allowing for DAW automation control through the faders, though full recall functionality might be limited.
