Audio-Technica has announced the ATDM-1012 Digital SmartMixer, targetting a applications ranging from hospitality, corporate and demanding courtroom settings to situations where mix-minus operation or audio pickup from specific zones within a space is required.
The 1U-high, 19-inch rackmountable ATDM-1012 is a 14-input/12-bus matrix mixer featuring ten mic/line inputs with high quality preamps and two pairs of stereo inputs, USB audio I/O, eight balanced outputs and two unbalanced stereo outputs. Ten additional digital inputs can be added either via AT-Link digital connection or over Dante (with the Dante-enabled ATDM-1012DAN version).
Each input channel is equipped with phase invert switching, a low-cut filter and a four-band parametric EQ, which can be assigned to any of the 12 buses with individual volume setting through the routing matrix.
Smart mixing capabilities offer four mixing groups and can either be gain sharing or gating mixers. Additionally ten AEC, ten compressors/de-essers and eight feedback suppressors can be freely assigned to any of the input or output channels.
In larger spaces, two Audio-Technica ES954 hanging microphone arrays can be connected to the ATDM-1012, allowing the mixer to control the horizontal and vertical orientation of the microphone’s four capsules.
The ATDM-1012’s configurable nature is accompanied by ease of operation, with audio input/output settings made from the front panel, with more refined control available via the Web Remote manager software application. In addition, the mixer can be controlled through IP Remote protocol.
