Offering 48 channels and 16 returns for a total of 64 total inputs, it features a "fat channel" strip in the center of the board that gives you instant access to 4-band parametric EQ, dynamics and aux controls for the first 48 channels. Twenty-four studio-grade mic preamps give you plenty of inputs for a live event (and more can be added using expansion cards with external preamps). It boasts a vast array of analog and digital I/O, and its completely configurable 24-buss routing system lets you re-patch the board at the flick of a switch. Note: the meterbridge shown in the photo is sold separately.

What's more, the DM-4800 fits seamlessly into the most modern recording environments based around a computer DAW. With the push of a button, its Remote layer gives you a 24-fader control surface to work with cutting-edge workstations such as Pro Tools, Logic, SONAR, DP, Cubase and Nuendo.

The DM-4800 sports 4 expansion card slots to let you further customize the console to handle virtually any job.
