The broadcast mixers were designed using the know-how gained building mixing consoles for the DJ market. Since 1984 a lot has changed, but not the philosophy. Consoles are still being designed in close co-operation with the end users and quality as well as serviceability are demands to be met. Powerful microprocessors ensure a flexible, easily installable and - above all - intelligent broadcast console. Special emphasis is given to the communication section: of ever-increasing importance in the modern broadcast studio. The fact that with all this sophistication and versatility the consoles still are easy to use is what sets DATEQ apart.
