The DP-32SD has 8 XLR-TRS combo inputs that can withstand multi-microphone recording with drums. Phantom power supply is also possible, with the INPUT H compatible with direct guitar inputs. With dynamic effects, which are indispensable for high-quality recording, up to 8 effects can be used for each input. In addition, the DP-32SD comes with built-in guitar multi-effects, tuner, and metronome, allowing users to complete recording preparations with this device alone.
Supports high-quality mixing thanks to its professional effects
When it comes to mixing, users can perform a speedy mix-down with intuitive operation thanks to the full-color LCD, encoders, and faders of the DP-32SD. Mixing effects that are available include reverbs and spatial effects that you can use to enhance your music, resulting in audio with quality as high as that of professional studio productions. After mixing is done, final touches can be added by using the built-in mastering effect.
From the moment you switch the device on to mastering your audio production, the DP-32SD creates a professional production environment without a computer.
Even in loud environments, the high output powered amplifier makes headphone monitoring easy
In order to ensure a high-quality production environment, the outputs and monitor systems have been upgraded. Separate to the stereo output, a MONITOR OUT that can adjust monitor volume has been installed, and the TRS output terminals are able to make balanced connections with the monitor speaker. In addition, a 70mW/ch headphone amplifier that allows loud volume monitoring has also been installed.
