Dynacord DRM 4000 8-in-2 Audio Mixer & Router

Dynacord DRM 4000 8-in-2 Audio Mixer & Router

The DRM 4000 is a rack-mixer and/or audio signal router offering 8 audio inputs and 2 audio outputs. The inputs are divided into 4 MIC/LINE channels and 4 AUX channels. Each input channel can be freely assigned to either one or both output channels, offering Mono 2-Channel operation as well as Stereo operation modes.
The DRM 4000 can be used as a pre-mixer for the DPM 4000, expanding the amount of available input channels. DRM 4000 and DPM 4000 are linked via remote-interface. Priority functions, preset switching and routing are easy to configure and operate. The DRM 4000 Mixer & Router can also be used as stand-alone unit for simple sound reinforcement tasks, e.g. in a multimedia set-up, as well as for straightforward intercom installations.

Field of Application :

• Pre-mixer to the DPM 4000 for connecting several switchable audio signal sources and microphone swith priority or mixing function.
• Mixer for sound reinforcement systems in conference rooms, multi-purpose halls, congregation halls,gastronomy, houses of worship, etc.
• Straightforward calling systems with the ability for background music playback

Characteristics :

• 4 MIC/LINE input channels: XLR, electronically balanced, transformer optionally available.
• 4 AUX input channels: each with 2 RCA-type connectors.
• Volume and tone control (Lo/Hi) in all input channels.
• Signal / Peak LEDs (green / red) for monitoring the input level in all input channels.
• Input channels can be freely assigned to the output channels, controlled via control contacts, optional RS-232 interface or from the DPM 4000.
• Direct outputs for all MIC/LINE and AUX-channels.
• Pre/Post internally configurable.
• Frontal connections: 1 MIC/LINE input (XLR) and 1 AUX-input (2 x RCA-type) connected parallel toMIC/LINE1 and AUX1.
• Priority control (ducking function) in the inputs MIC/LINE 1 and 2; controllable via external contacts, signal level with adjustable threshold (on the front) or via remote control, indicated via LED’s on the front panel.
• Limiter in the inputs MIC/LINE 1 and 2 with internally selectable threshold.
• 2 audio outputs: XLR, electronically balanced, transformer optionally available.
• Separate summing controls and LED-chains for both outputs.
• VCA’s in both output channels.
• 2 VCA control inputs A / B for remotely controlling the volume setting via external potentiometer, also controllable via serial interface (PC, DPM 4000, media-control) or via control contacts.
