DM88 System Processor<\/h1>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\"DM88-Front-Straight-Logo-Web-TITLE\"\n\t<\/figure>\n\t

Powerful, flexible and<\/em> easy to use is<\/em> possible. Equally suited to FOH duties as a highly capable system manager and console switcher, or as the hub of a complex installation system, the DM88 can control and process it all, simply and capably.<\/h3>\n\t

DM88 Overview<\/h2>\n

The DM88 incorporates not only the best quality audio conversion and DSP, but also new levels of flexibility for routing and processing. Featuring 16 Dante, 8 analogue and 4×2 AES3 inputs, these are all available* to be matrixed to one of 16 processing channels, optimised for either general input processing or for more specialised output speaker processing.<\/p>\n

General input processing features multiple layers of parametric EQ with a library of selectable behaviours, 3 bands of dynamic EQ, compression, high-pass filter plus delay and phase reverse.<\/p>\nSpecialised output processing includes 48dB\/Oct high and low-pass filters, multiple EQ layers, FIR filtering,
\nand a new 2-way mode limiter, designed for use with passive 2-way speaker boxes.\n

By allowing any source to be directly selected at any output, and incorporating a three-level failover system, the DM88 can perform format conversion and break-in\/break-out duties. This is in addition to the 16 channels of individual signal processing and routing.<\/p>\n

Our D-Net control software for PC, Mac and iPad gives you complete control over Ethernet and Wi-Fi. The latest release of D-Net incorporates advanced features that unlock the capabilities of the DM88.These include speaker module libraries for fast configuration, and powerful grouping and linking control to work with EQ layers, levels, and delays across multiple devices on the network**.<\/p>\n

The DM88 is also compatible with the VR1 & VR2 venue remotes and V-Remote, our iPhone venue remote application.<\/p>\n
\n*up to 4 sources & any channel of each source type <\/em>
\n**grouping only available on DM88 devices<\/em>\n
