dd the optional IF-FW/DM interface card to 

the DM-3200, and it becomes the ultimate 

computer interface and mixing surface for your 

workstation software. The IF-FW/DM allows a single 

FireWire cable to transmit 32 channels from your 

computer to the DM-3200 and another 16 chan-

nels back to the computer for recording. Using this 

expansion card, no other interface or hardware is 

needed for 48kHz recording to a computer. 

The DM-3200 has a fader layer, labeled “Remote,” 

that’s dedicated to controlling the mixing facilities 

in your DAW software. There are two modes of 

control: Mackie Control and Mackie HUI emula-

tion. The DM-3200’s solid transport keys can be 

mapped to your software in any fader layer, and 

adjustments to your software mixer is a fader 

layer away.

ike the DM-24, the DM-3200 makes a reliable 

choice for sound reinforcement. Its 16 mic in-

puts give you plenty of channels for performances 

or services, and more mic inputs can be added as 

needed using external rackmount preamps with 

digital outputs. Each of the 32 channels features 

four-band parametric EQ, gating and compression 

processing. Two built-in effects processors can ac-

cess a variety of great-sounding effects processors, 

including a reverb processor by TC Works. 

If you’re the one installing the DM-3200 into a 

facility, you can program a variety of settings and 

back up your programs to a Compact Flash card. 

Recalling snapshots is done using dedicated buttons 

on the front panel, so loading a mixer setting is as 

simple as changing channels on a TV remote. 

The rear panel of the DM-3200 is well-stocked 

with balanced and digital I/O, allowing ample con-

nectivity to crossovers, as well as CD and cassette 

recorders such as our popular CC-222 mkII.

The DM-3200 + IF-FW/DM combination gives 

you the best of both worlds: computer recording 

and DAW control with world-class mixing, auto-

mation and monitoring features.
