DMX-P01
Digital Portable Field Mixer
Effective audio quality is now more important
than ever for ENG and EFP applications, because
even with high-quality video, lackluster audio
performance will result in a mediocre production.
The DMX-P01 is Sony’s answer to these high-quality
audio requirements. Not only does it offer outstanding
audio quality, it is also one of the most user-friendly
mixers in the ENG and EFP markets. With full 24-bit processing
and 48kHz or 96kHz sampling rate, the DMX-P01 provides sound quality
comparable to high-end production mixers. Its front panel is engineered to allow fast, easy,
and accurate setting adjustments - essential when working in the field. It also includes other useful features, such as panel-
lock and parameter-lock functions, selectable meter scales, camera-audio return-level check, memory function, digital cascade
capability, and digital outputs. All of this functionality and versatility is packaged into one sleek, compact, and lightweight
body that can be used effortlessly in field productions.
Excellent Sound Quality
◆ In order to provide outstanding sound
quality, the DMX-P01 offers full digital-
audio processing.Its 24-bit A/D and D/A
converters provide a high level of linearity
for analog inputs and outputs. Internally,
the unit utilizes 32-bit digital processing for
maximum throughput. In addition, the
DMX-P01 has a sampling rate that is selec-
table from either 48kHz or 96kHz.
Digital Limiters/Compressors
◆ By using digital limiters and compressors,
the DMX-P01 can provide extremely high-
quality sound in one small package.
Limiters are available at the input, and both
limiters and compressors are available at the
output for maximum flexibility.
Full Parameter Controls
◆ The DMX-P01’s front panel puts all of its
controls at your fingertips with an organ-
ized and logical layout. The DMX-P01
processes audio digitally, so parameters that
are used less frequently are stored internally
and accessed only when needed.Using the
front-panel controls and easy-to-read back-
lit LCD allows full control of every parame-
ter without the need to remove the unit
from its audio-organizer case.
Panel-Lock
◆ One major concern for engineers in the
field is the accidental bumping of controls,
which can change the sound settings. The
DMX-P01 safeguards against this with its
panel-lock feature,which can be set to
secure all of the control settings, or selected
individual control settings.
◆ In addition, a Parameter-Lock feature also
avoids inadvertent parameter changes.
Flexible Meter Scales
◆ Being digital,meter calibrations can be
easily changed from one type to another
without the need to replace the entire
meter. Six easy-to-change meter scale sheets
are supplied:
VU, PPM1 (BBC-type),PPM2 (DIN-type),
PPM3, PPM4 (IEC-type1) and dBFS.
Simply insert the desired scale sheet and
select the right meter type. The DMX-P01
will display the audio level according to the
scale selected.
Camera-Audio Return Check
◆ The DMX-P01 enables users to visually ver-
ify that the mixer’s audio level matches the
level recorded to the camcorder tape. This is
done using the camera return-level mode,
available in the setup menu.
Digital Output
◆ The DMX-P01 is equipped with a digital
output, which can be used to send audio to
digital equipment such as DAT recorders.
AES/EBU and S/PDIF coaxial interfaces are
available.
Memory Function
◆ Easily store and recall parameters from
the setup menu. There are two memory
functions:
–Power-On Memory Recall - When the
DMX-P01 is powered on, the system can
recall parameters in three ways: default
factory settings, the last settings used, or
with the parameters of one specific scene
memory.
–Scene Memory Recall - This allows users to
recall up to ten different user-defined
parameter settings or the factory default
settings. Invaluable in situations where a
single unit is required to serve multiple
users or multiple shooting scenarios
Digital Cascade
◆ When additional inputs are required, DMX-
P01 mixers can be cascaded using a digital
connection between mixers.Best of all.
sound quality isn’t degraded, as it would be
when cascading analog mixers.
