| | | New Products | Audio-Technica AT-DMM828 The AT-DMM828 ($2,169) is a microprocessor-controlled, programmable, daisy-chainable, automatic-switching 8-channel matrix mixer designed for installed sound, sound reinforcement, houses of worship, broadcast, recording and more. The AT-DMM828 features "correlation," which analyzes and interprets redundancy of source material between channels in real time and may in turn favor the dominant channel, simplifying the output and reducing feedback and phase issues. 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. The mixer's outputs are balanced and non-inverting. All audio connections terminate in block screw connectors.
