Sony DMX-P01

Portable field digital mixer, 24-bit / 96 kHz

Broadcast Discontinued 2001 · 🇯🇵 Japan · Digital · AES/EBU

Description

To me the DMX-P01 is the field mixer that brought shoots into fully digital 24-bit/96 kHz territory without sacrificing ruggedness. Four well-designed mic inputs, per-channel limiter and compressor, AES/EBU outputs: enough to deliver clean digital audio straight to the camera or recorder.
