The Yamaha DM3S is a 22-channel digital mixer with capabilities that far exceed the confines of its ultra-compact size. Although the DM3S is jam-packed with cutting-edge features, it’s a breeze to navigate thanks to its best-in-class, 9-inch touchscreen and single all-purpose touch-and-turn knob. You get crystal-clear 96kHz audio, which is bolstered by 16 excellent-sounding mic preamps and eight analog outputs. Yamaha has long been renowned for their digital effects, going way back to their ’80s-era REV and SPX processors, and the DM3S reflects that storied heritage. You’ll also benefit from multiple recording and streaming options, including an 18 x 18 USB interface and 2 x 2 recording directly to a USB drive. A DAW remote mode with transport control and custom control via OSC, USB-MIDI, and ProVisionaire round out the DM3S’s extensive feature set. Want a subcompact digital mixer with zero sacrifices or compromises? If so, the solution is simple: the Yamaha DM3S.
