Adding to its family of microphone mixers, AKG has introduced a new line of digital automatic mixers – the DMM6 and DMM12 – offering numerous DSP functions and high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N).

The DMM12 provides 12 inputs with four line outputs (two stereo pairs) individually assignable for each input. The stereo record outputs are individually assignable, while the headphone out port allows users to listen to each input and output individually. DMM6 offers six inputs and two line outputs (stereo).

When in use, all inputs are active, but attenuated to a level that equals the level of one ‘active microphone.’ If two or more inputs receive relevant input signals, their amplification is increased to a level, which allows overall output to equal one ‘active microphone,’ resulting in an absolute feedback-stable system.

To minimise noise pickup, the DMM series senses sonic activity – if a signal is picked up over a long period of time, the mixers understand that it may be an air conditioning unit or other unavoidable noise. When a large number of microphones pick up the same signal and all mics are active, the DMM system will recognise applause and not react. When two microphones are receiving the same signal, the mic with the slightly higher level gets priority, while the other one is attenuated.

‘AKG understands the needs of the live sound professional and the updates to our line of rackable mixers underscores our goal of providing high-quality, reliable sound in all performance spaces,’ says Thomas Giczy, AKG Business Vevelopment Manager for Installed Sound. ‘DMM6 and DMM12 embody the technological advancements AKG delivered with its original analogue eight-channel auto mixer, AS8 and its digital predecessors DMM4/2/4. DMM12 and DMM6 will be a tactical addition to any installed sound system to ensure proper sound.’
