The Violet Audio dMix 128 is a professional 128-channel networked digital mixing system built for live sound, broadcast, immersive audio, and permanent installation. Powered by a high-performance FPGA architecture, it delivers 128x128 signal routing at 96 kHz with sub-millisecond (0.3ms) analogue-to-analogue round trip latency.
Each unit ships with 32 analogue inputs, 24 analogue outputs plus two headphone outputs, onboard MADI I/O, AES67 networking, and an optional Dante expansion card. Control is entirely browser-based — no proprietary software required. With redundant dual power supplies and networking, Crestron/Q-SYS integration, and 64x64 low-latency computer drivers for DAW connectivity, the dMix 128 is the most capable system in its price class.
The dMix 128 features a powerful 128×128 digital engine with ultra-low latency signal processing. Each channel can be routed, mixed, and processed independently, providing exceptional control and pristine sound quality for any application.
With full Dante™ (option card), AES67 and MADI compatibility,, the dMix 128 seamlessly integrates into modern networked audio systems. Multiple units can be linked together for large-scale installations while maintaining sample-accurate synchronization. Further information
The dMix Control Software offers a clean, intuitive graphical interface for configuration, monitoring, and real-time control. Users can easily adjust routing, EQ, dynamics, and levels from any computer on the same network — no additional hardware needed.
Through its custom control protocol, the dMix 128 can be integrated with third-party systems such as Crestron, Q-Sys, or bespoke automation solutions. This makes it perfect for broadcast, corporate AV, and complex multi-zone audio installations.
Built with industrial grade components, redundant dual power supplies, the dMix 128 delivers reliable 24/7 performance. Its modular structure and intuitive software tools make it easy to install, configure, and expand as project needs evolve.
