Violet Audio dMix 128 Digital Rack Mixer

Imagine running a massive festival, managing multiple stages or building a complex broadcast production without being tied to a traditional mixing console. The Violet Audio dMix 128 networked digital mixing system reimagines professional audio control with a powerful 128-input/128-output digital mixing engine, FPGA-based processing and an entirely browser-driven interface. Supporting 48kHz and 96kHz operation with 32-bit floating-point internal processing, the system delivers an exceptionally fast 0.3ms analog-to-analog latency for responsive audio performance. Each 4RU unit combines 32 balanced XLR mic/line inputs, 24 balanced XLR outputs, two headphone outputs, onboard MADI, native AES67 networking and optional Dante expansion. Designed for touring, live production, broadcast, corporate AV and permanent installations, dMix 128 puts large-scale routing, processing and system integration into a compact platform that can grow alongside increasingly ambitious productions.

128-Channel FPGA Processing Delivers Speed and Precision

The custom FPGA-centric architecture provides a 128x128 digital routing matrix with independent per-channel processing. Engineers can shape signals using four-band parametric EQ expandable to eight bands, up to four bands of dynamic EQ, high- and low-pass filters, 31-band graphic EQ, gates, compressors, de-essers, multiband compression and adjustable harmonic saturation. This extensive processing toolkit supports everything from detailed vocal and instrument shaping to complex system management across large productions. The platform's 0.3ms analog-to-analog latency keeps monitoring and signal routing responsive, while 115dB dynamic range on its analog inputs and outputs supports clean, detailed reproduction. With 96kHz operation and a signal path engineered for minimal distortion, dMix 128 provides the processing capacity and precision needed for demanding professional audio workflows.

Browser-Based Control Makes Complex Mixing More Accessible

Instead of requiring a proprietary control surface or dedicated software installation, dMix 128 uses an HTML5-compatible browser interface that can be accessed from compatible computers, tablets and other devices. Its graphical patchbay provides a visual approach to routing signals, while support for multiple simultaneous browser sessions allows engineers to access the system from different control locations. The platform is designed to integrate with existing professional workflows rather than require an entirely new control ecosystem, supporting third-party automation through Crestron, Q-SYS and custom control protocols. An AI-assisted setup workflow can also streamline initial configuration by organizing and color-coding inputs from supplied requirements and helping establish requested processing, reducing repetitive setup tasks while leaving creative mixing decisions in the engineer's hands.

Flexible Network Audio Connects Existing and Future Systems

Built for environments where audio must move between multiple devices, rooms and production systems, dMix 128 combines native AES67 networking with onboard MADI connectivity and an optional Dante expansion card. Its 64-input/64-output low-latency computer drivers support DAW integration, allowing the platform to connect recording and playback workflows with professional live sound infrastructure. Three onboard Ethernet ports provide network connectivity, while USB-A, USB-C and DisplayPort connections expand the available system interfaces. The architecture also supports integration with compatible external controllers and automation systems, providing flexibility for engineers who prefer existing fader surfaces or customized control environments. Depending on the configuration, additional networking or control hardware may be required.

Scalable Architecture Supports Large and Distributed Productions

For productions that extend beyond a single mixing engine, multiple dMix 128 units can be integrated through networked audio infrastructure to build larger, distributed systems. This approach makes the platform especially relevant for multistage festivals, touring productions, broadcast facilities, corporate AV systems and venues requiring extensive signal distribution. Each unit provides 128x128 routing capacity, with native AES67 inter-unit latency specified at 0.25ms for responsive networked operation. Engineers can develop systems around existing control hardware and compatible third-party equipment rather than committing to a single proprietary console format.

Redundant Power and Rackmount Construction Support Professional Deployment

Designed for demanding professional installations and production environments, the dMix 128 features redundant dual power supplies, industrial-grade components and a 19" rackmount chassis rated for continuous operation. Its 4RU enclosure weighs approximately 17.9 lb. and includes recessed rack-mounting options to accommodate different installation requirements. With an average power draw of 65W and a maximum of 110W, the system brings substantial channel capacity and processing capability into a relatively compact hardware footprint. Backed by a 24-month parts-and-labor warranty, the Violet Audio dMix 128 networked digital mixing system offers a flexible alternative to traditional large-format digital consoles, combining extensive I/O, low-latency FPGA processing, open networking standards and browser-based control in a scalable professional mixing platform.
