Power Dynamics PDM-T1204 - Professional 12-Channel Live Mixer with DSP and USB

The Power Dynamics PDM-T1204 is an incredibly versatile live and studio mixing console designed to deliver complete, professional audio control across a wide range of applications. Whether you're powering a live band, managing conference audio, equipping a recording studio, or creating content, this 12-channel console provides all the tools you need for a clear, powerful, and polished sound. Its robust construction and intuitive interface make it the perfect hub for both seasoned sound engineers and musicians seeking total control over their mix.

Equipped with 12 combo mic/line inputs (XLR/6.3 mm jack), the PDM-T1204 offers exceptional connectivity for all types of audio sources, from condenser microphones, which can be powered by its switchable +48V phantom power, to instruments and audio players.

Main features

Integrated 32-bit DSP Effects Processor

Take your sound to the next level without the need for external processors. The PDM-T1204 features a powerful 32-bit DSP effects engine that provides 380 high-quality presets, including reverbs, delays, chorus, flangers, and much more. For quick and easy access, you can save your four favorite effects or custom settings to its memory slots, allowing you to recall them instantly during a performance.

Total Recording and Playback Flexibility

This mixing console stands out for its multiple digital connectivity options. It incorporates a Bluetooth receiver for wirelessly streaming audio from smartphones or tablets, ideal for playing backing tracks or background music. Its main USB port enables two key functions: acting as a full-duplex audio interface to record the stereo mix directly to a computer (PC/Mac) and play back audio from it, and also allowing direct recording of the mix in MP3 format to a USB drive with a single click (One-Click Recording), a perfect solution for capturing rehearsals or live performances without complications.

Advanced Mixing Control

In addition to individual channel controls, the PDM-T1204 features a 7-band stereo graphic equalizer on the main output. This tool is essential for fine-tuning the overall frequency response and tailoring the sound to the acoustics of any room. The balanced stereo main outputs (XLR and 6.3 mm jack) ensure a clean, noise-free connection to PA systems or studio monitors, while the adjustable headphone output allows for precise signal monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I record all 12 channels individually on my computer?
No, the PDM-T1204's USB audio interface sends the main stereo mix (2 output channels) to the computer. It is not a multitrack recording interface.

Can the +48V phantom power be activated per channel?
Phantom power is activated by a single switch that applies it to all XLR microphone inputs simultaneously. It is not individually switchable per channel.

What kind of effects does the DSP processor include?
The DSP includes a wide variety of 380 effects, including different types of Reverb (Hall, Room, Plate), Delay (Echo), Chorus, Flanger, Phaser and other modulation effects.

Do I need to install any drivers to connect the table to a PC or Mac?
Generally, it functions as a "class-compliant" audio device, so it does not require the installation of drivers on most modern operating systems such as Windows or macOS.
