AEQ ARENA DM Broadcast Mixer in good used condition with case.

The AEQ Arena DM is a high-end digital audio mixer engineered for radio and television broadcast environments where reliability, flexibility, and deep control are essential. Designed as the flagship control surface in AEQ’s modular Arena system, the DM delivers advanced signal routing, precision control, and industry-grade processing in a compact, expandable format.

Control Surface & Workflow

• 5 motorized faders with soft keys and rotary controls that change function depending on configuration.
• Multi-page operation: up to 9 virtual pages per surface for controlling multiple signal layers from one panel — effectively expanding channel control without adding physical faders.
• Dynamic display interface showing routing, levels, and parameter control for selected channels.
• Flexible workspace modes for different broadcast workflows (e.g., Normal, Bus Send, Channel Setup, Multiplex) — making it intuitive for both experienced broadcast engineers and traditional console operators.

📡 Monitoring & Talkback

• Built-in cue monitoring speakers and independent monitors for control room, studio, and headphone outputs.
• Dual precision digital VU meters and phase meters for accurate level metering and waveform assessment.
• Integrated talkback microphone input and configurable routing for talent communication.

🔁 Signal Routing & Processing

• Works as part of a modular system supporting up to 21 I/O modules, with analog, AES/EBU, S-PDIF, and MADI digital audio format support.
• Redundant power supply and optional redundant DSP modules ensure broadcast-grade reliability.
• Advanced DSP processing on every channel including:
  • Four-band parametric equalization
  • High/low-pass filters
  • Compressor-limiter
  • Noise gate
  • Delay and reverb processing

🔌 Connectivity & Expansion

• Modular design allows expansion up to 75 faders by adding multiple D10 units.
• Ethernet-based control (10/100 TCP/IP) for robust communication with the audio engine and networked components.
• Supports configurable N-1 mix-minus busses and clean feeds essential for live on-air and multi-studio broadcast setups.

Technical Specifications (Highlights)

• Internal Sampling Rate: 48 kHz at 24-bit resolution.
• Internal Processing Bus: 32-bit floating point.
• Gain Control: ±12 dB on digital and analog signals.
• Dimensions (DM surface): ~458 × 260 × 605 mm; Weight: ~11.2 kg.
