Great for live sound and studio recording applications, the Midas DM12 is a compact 12-input analog mixer that delivers incredible sonic performance and amazing versatility.

The DM12 provides studio-quality sound and features 8 award-winning Midas microphone preamplifiers with true +48V phantom power, widely loved by audio engineers all over the world for their transparency and nuanced, low-noise, high-headroom design. The mixer includes XLR and 1/4" line inputs with inserts and a 3-band EQ on mono channels, while the two 1/4" stereo feature a 2-band EQ. Additionally, there's two aux sends, a stereo RCA 2-track input/output, and balanced XLR main outputs. A power cord is included.

  • Live performance and studio recording analog mixer with 12 input channels
  • 8 mono input channels with award-winning Midas microphone preamplifiers
  • 2 electronically balanced stereo line input channels on 1/4" TRS connectors
  • 3-band EQ on mono channels with swept mid band
  • 2 aux sends with pre/post fader switching
  • 60mm precision long-life faders
  • Rugged chassis construction for durability in portable applications
  • Auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supply
Live Performance and Studio Recording
With 12 channels, the DM12 has more than enough microphone and line inputs to manage a small band or worship team with channels to spare—both on the stage and in the studio. It is also the ideal choice for use as a keyboard or drum sub-mixer for larger scale performances.
Dedicated Stereo Inputs
Line channels 9/10 and 11/12 are dedicated stereo channels, making them ideal for stereo instruments, such as keyboards, and they can also be used for mono signals thanks to a convenient balance control on each 2-channel grouping. These channels can also be used as return inputs for signals sent external effects processing equipment.
Musical British EQ
  • The British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll. Without them, the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. 
  • The 3-band channel EQ on the DM12 mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. The sweepable mid-frequency band provides a broad tonal palette with which to finetune the ideal signal. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.
Dual Aux Sends
The DM12 is also equipped with 2 aux sends with pre/post fader switching for added versatility. Users can select to use them for external effects processing, custom monitor mixes, or a combination of the two. Additional monitoring outputs are provided of the main mix for stage or studio monitor applications.
Classic Precision
All of DM12 mixer's 60cm faders have been carefully designed to provide a long life of highly precise level setting, ensuring repeatable and flawless performance for many years to come.

Midas DM12 Reviews

Pick for sound quality

By Max
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-10-02

Build quality is average for price/class, all metal case feels sturdy and a little heavier than expected. There are a lot of options for mixers this size. I picked this one for sound quality and have not been disappointed. Very open and clear, has the punch of a soundcraft and the smoothness of an allen & heath. Excellent noise floor, which has been an issue with others. I run a high power PA rig for DJs and electronic music
