Description

The Lectrosonics DM1612F is a professional 16x12 digital matrix processor designed for advanced audio mixing, routing, and signal processing in environments that demand precise control over multiple microphones and loudspeakers. Ideal for boardrooms, courtrooms, worship centers, hotels, and distance learning systems, the DM1612F offers robust DSP functionality and scalable integration in a fan-cooled, rackmountable design.

At its core, the DM1612F features 16 mic/line inputs and 12 outputs, 4 of which are switchable to mic-level. Every input passes through six DSP filters, a compressor, a digital delay, and an ADFE (Automatic Digital Feedback Eliminator). The 16x12 crosspoint matrix allows any input to be routed to any or all outputs with gain adjustable from -69 dB to +20 dB in 1 dB steps. On the output side, each channel includes nine filters, a compressor/limiter, and its own delay for independent signal tailoring per zone or device.

What sets the DM1612F apart is its implementation of Lectrosonics' proprietary proportional gain auto mixing algorithm with AutoSkew™ which is a system that intelligently manages microphone priority and levels without traditional gating, ensuring smooth transitions and eliminating comb filtering and echo artifacts. Each output also features a dedicated NOM (Number of Open Microphones) bus, allowing optimized control for sound reinforcement and recording.

Features

16x12 Digital Matrix Processor
Routes any of 16 mic/line inputs to 12 outputs with precise gain control at each matrix point.

Comprehensive DSP on All Channels
Each input includes 6 filters, compressor, automatic feedback eliminator (ADFE), and delay; each output includes 9 filters, compressor/limiter, and delay.

Advanced Auto Mixing with AutoSkew™
Proportional gain algorithm intelligently balances open microphones while avoiding gating artifacts and comb filtering.

Flexible Output Configuration
4 of the 12 outputs can be switched to mic level, ideal for recording or other low-level connections.

Full DSP Access Without Limits
All DSP functions are always available across all inputs and outputs, thanks to efficient architecture.

Independent NOM Mixing Buses
Each output has its own open mic detection bus for custom mix behavior across destinations.

128 Programmable Macros
Allows automation of complex system actions, each with up to 64 commands for full control flexibility.

Daisy Chain Expandability
Connect with other LecNet2 processors via digital I/O for larger system builds.

USB and RS-232 Control
Program and control using front panel, USB, or serial connection; compatible with AMX and Crestron systems.

Fan-Cooled for Reliable Performance
Continuous cooling supports long-term stability in high-demand installations.
