DIGITAL MIXER
DMR8
RELEASED: 1990
CODE_NAME: DMR8X
This was an integrated digital mixer and tape-based digital recorder with 28-bit internal processing and time-code synced automix control of fader, on/off switching, panning, and EQ parameters. In terms of sound quality, features, and expressive capability, the DMR8 was the state of the art at the time. The recorder section was available as a separate DRU8 unit that could be added to a DMR8 for increased track capacity.

ProMix
DIGITAL MIXER
ProMix
RELEASED: 1994
CODE_NAME: 01X
The programmable mixer with analog-like operation. The ProMix 01 was rapidly adopted for use as a PA mixer for small events, where it delivered smooth operation and sound quality that rivaled or exceeded that of comparable analog mixers. The fact that the level meters read "nominal" at 0dB and maximum level before clipping was displayed as +15dB also added to this compact console's analog-like appeal.

02R
DIGITAL MIXER
02R
RELEASED: 1995
CODE_NAME: 02XR
The 02R was primarily designed as a recording console with an open architecture that allowed AES/EBU, ADAT, Tascam, and other digital formats to be implemented via plug-in I/O cards. With 44-channel mixing capacity with 4-band parametric EQ, dynamics processing, input delays, built-in effects, automix capability, and much more, the 02R became standard equipment in studios throughout the world. It was the 02R, in fact, that first triggered the proliferation of professional-quality project and personal studios that changed the face of music production forever.
