The AT-DMM828 can be used with low-impedance dynamic or condenser microphones (including wireless microphone systems), as well as line-level sources. Each of the eight balanced inputs provides switchable 48-Volt phantom power; attenuation is also selectable on each input to allow use with line-level signals.
Up to 16 units of AT-DMM828’s (a total of 128 channels of inputs) can be daisy-chained via CAT5e cable, which carries control bus, audio, and configuration data between mixers. Multiple mixers linked in this way will operate as if they are a single mixer. Each AT-DMM828 includes two separate external control system interfaces: Individual channel contact closures (via DB25 connector) and PC control (via RS232 connector or USB). The RS232 connector can also be used to connect an external third-party control system (e.g. Crestron® or AMX®) using “open disclosure communication protocol” to control the mixer.
