DNA CM8-DSP Miksebord

DNA CM8-DSP — Compact 8-Channel Mixer with DSP, Bluetooth and Phantom Power

This model is a compact 8-channel analog audio mixer built for live performance, mobile DJ setups, conference sound and small studio sessions. It pairs a traditional analog signal path with a 99-preset digital effects engine, Bluetooth wireless streaming and a built-in MP3 player, giving working musicians a single desk that handles vocals, instruments and backing tracks without extra gear. The DNA CM8-DSP is the right choice for vocalists, bands and event technicians who need a portable console with real DSP, phantom power and wireless playback in one box.

Standout Features in This Category

What separates this console from entry-level mixers in the same price tier is the combination of a 99-preset DSP processor with assignable per-channel effect send, a 7-band graphic equalizer on the main bus, and a full +48V phantom-power section that powers studio-grade condenser microphones. Integrated Bluetooth receiver and USB-A MP3 player turn the unit into a self-contained playback hub, so a performer can stream a phone or load a thumb drive and run backing tracks without a separate laptop or media player.

Channel Architecture — Inputs, EQ and Routing

The channel layout is what most players will touch first, and it is designed so that every input can be shaped, leveled and sent to the effects bus independently. Six mono channels accept microphones or line-level instruments through combo XLR/jack sockets, while a seventh stereo channel on RCA handles playback sources such as a media player or wireless receiver.

• 6 × XLR/jack combo mono channels accept dynamic and condenser microphones plus line instruments, each with its own gain trim, 3-band EQ, volume and effect-level pot.
• Stereo Channel: RCA (cinch) — dedicated input for playback devices, with separate high and low tone controls plus a master level for channels 7/8.
• PAD Switch: −20 dB attenuation — engages on hot mono inputs to tame over-driving sources before they hit the preamp.

Signal Processing — DSP, EQ and Phantom Power

Sound shaping is where this unit earns its place in a small live rig. A dedicated DSP engine supplies 99 effect presets covering the most-requested vocal and instrument treatments, while a 7-band graphic EQ on the main mix lets the engineer tune the room in real time. Phantom power is globally switchable so condenser microphones can be deployed on any mono channel.

• DSP Effects: 99 presets — reverb, early reflections/delay, echo, chorus/flanger, tremolo, wah-wah, radio voice, pitch shifter, distortion/overdrive and multi-effect, assignable per channel.
• Graphic Equalizer: 7-band slider EQ — sits on the main output bus for fast room correction and tonal balancing.
• Phantom Power: +48 V — supplies condenser microphones across all mono XLR inputs from a single front-panel switch.

Connectivity, Playback and Build

Beyond the analog I/O, the console doubles as a media hub and a USB recording interface, which is unusual at this price point. Bluetooth pairing and a USB-A port cover wireless and thumb-drive playback, while a dedicated headphone output with its own level knob gives the engineer a separate monitor mix from the main speakers.

• Wireless Playback: Bluetooth receiver — streams audio from phones, tablets or laptops without a cable.
• MP3 Player: USB-A port — reads backing tracks directly from a USB stick and routes them into the mix.
• Headphone Output: 6.3 mm jack with independent level — lets the operator cue channels without affecting the front-of-house mix.
• Power Supply: AC 110–240 V, 50/60 Hz, 15 W consumption — universal mains input via an IEC socket, suitable for touring across regions.
• Dimensions: 33 × 18 × 6 cm and Weight: 1.4 kg — slim desktop footprint that fits a small stage box or a studio shelf.

Who Is It For

This mixer is aimed at solo performers, duos and small bands who need a self-contained front-of-house console for clubs, weddings, conference rooms and house-of-worship setups. Mobile DJs benefit from the Bluetooth and USB-MP3 playback for transitions and breaks, while podcasters and streamers can use the XLR inputs with phantom power for condenser microphones and the headphone bus for latency-free monitoring.

DNA Professional — Mixer Range and Heritage

The brand builds a tiered family of compact analog mixers that share the same DSP, Bluetooth and phantom-power feature set across channel counts from 2 up to 16. The CM-series is positioned as an affordable live-and-studio hybrid, designed for users who want digital effects and wireless playback on an analog surface rather than a fully digital workflow.
