Description

The D-75 is a radio console built for the real world: modular, analogue/digital hybrid, with sample-rate conversion on the inputs and input cards you swap with a screwdriver. For a radio studio that wants to go digital without breaking the bank or dumping its analogue sources, it's exactly the right level of tool: rugged and legible.
