At the heart of the Bastudio are two cascaded DM-3200 mixers.  Combined mixers feature include 32 preamps, 64 channels and 32 auxiliary returns for 96 total inputs for mixdown - even at its full 96kHz / 24-bit audio resolution. It has 4-band fully-parametric EQ and dynamics on every channel and two effects processors, each capable of running the built-in TC Works Reverb processor.   The mixers are also capable of monitoring, mixing and recording in 5.1 Surround Sound.

The DM-3200 provides a new way to record with DAW recording software. With the IF-FW/DM FireWire interface, the DM-3200 becomes a 32-channel computer audio interface, making it a complete studio solution for professional DAW recording. Built-in HUI and Mackie Control emulation allows the console to function as a flexible control surface for workstation software. This gives you the best of both worlds - total control over your recording software transport and mixing capabilities with the cue mixing, talkback, microphone preamps and world-class automation provided by the DM-3200
