ike the DM-24, the DM-3200 makes a reliable
Lchoice 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.

dd the optional IF-FW/DM interface card to
Athe DM-3200, and it becomes the ultimate
computer interface and mixing surface for your
workstation software. The IF-FW/DM allows a single
FireWire cable to transmit 32 channels from your
computer to the DM-3200 and another 16 chan-
nels back to the computer for recording. Using this
expansion card, no other interface or hardware is
needed for 48kHz recording to a computer.
The DM-3200 has a fader layer, labeled“Remote,”
that’s dedicated to controlling the mixing facilities
in your DAW software. There are two modes of
control: Mackie Control and Mackie HUI emula-
tion. The DM-3200’s solid transport keys can be
mapped to your software in any fader layer, and
adjustments to your software mixer is a fader
layer away.
The DM-3200 + IF-FW/DM combination gives
you the best of both worlds: computer recording
and DAW control with world-class mixing, auto-
mation and monitoring features.
