expansion cards is the IF-FW/DM, 

which provides multichannel audio

parametric EQ, dynamics and access to 

the 16 busses and 8 aux sends. You get 

all of these features at 96kHz resolu-

computer interface. Another expan-

sion card adds powerful surround 

monitoring – including downmixing 

and bass management – for 5.1 and 6.1 

environments. 

Two built-in effects processors can 

each run the TC Works™ Reverb pro-

cessor. Many of the features that made 

the DM-24 successful, like powerful 

automation, routing, and a simple 

user interface have been carried over 

and improved upon for a fast, reliable, 

great-sounding mix solution.
