Boasting off-the-charts specs, performance, ergonomics, and flexibility, the SPL DMC ups the ante for stereo mastering consoles. Fitted with four stereo inputs and four stereo sources, two stereo recording outputs, as well as three stereo and two mono speaker outputs that you can expand with the optional SPL MC16 controller, the DMC offers the flexibility required by professional mastering engineers. As do all SPL Mastering Series processors, the DMC mastering console operates on an outstandingly robust 120V DC audio rail, which helps to optimize headroom and dynamic range for a masterful sonic presentation that redefines "impressive."
An ideal hub for any serious mastering setup
The SPL DMC makes an ideal hub for any serious mastering setup. It's got everything you need: sonic transparency, generous headroom, and flexible gainstaging, as well as versatile I/O and monitoring facilities. But above all else, it accurately represents any source you feed it. We cannot overstate the importance of this this last point: reference-grade monitoring enables you to tackle any and every project with confidence. And the DMC's ability to expand channel count is certainly a prerequisite for being to accommodate the ever-increasing market share of projects slated for immersive audio formats.
The benefits of 120V Rail Technology
SPL's 120V Rail Technology lets the DMC run on an operating voltage of 120 volts — twice that of discrete op-amps and four times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers — in order to achieve superior technical and sonic performance. On the technical side, 120V Rail Technology optimizes headroom and dynamic range — which manifests sonically in the effortless resolution of fine details and overall a confident, relaxed rendition of program material. Music sounds completely natural, while listening fatigue is dramatically reduced.
