Overview  
The DMX-P01 is a portable digital  
mixer designed for professional  
electronic news gathering (ENG) and  
electronic field production (EFP). The  
DMX-P01 has a compact, lightweight  
body designed to be used in field  
production, making it ideal for use  
with digital video and audio recording  
media such as a camcorder and  
microphones, and so on.  
Digital cascade  
Since the unit is equipped with coaxial  
input/output connectors, DMX-P01  
mixers can be cascaded using one  
coaxial cable, for applications  
requiring additional inputs.  
LCD panel for various  
displays and easy setup  
The LCD panel enables the unit to  
display the level meter. battery  
remaining amount, or cumulative time  
in use.  
The level meter can be easily chosen  
from among a VU, a dBFS or four  
types of PPM meters.  
Setup menus displayed on the LCD  
allow to easily change various  
parameter settings.  
Also, since a heater is built into the  
LCD, the heated LCD displays  
normally, even at low temperature.  
The DMX-P01 has the following  
features.  
High quality audio signal  
processing  
The unit allows you to select a  
sampling frequency of either 48 kHz  
or 96 kHz  
The unit converts an analog signal to a  
24-bit digital signal and outputs an  
AES3 format (AES/EBU connector)  
or an IEC60958 format (S/PDIF  
coaxial connector) digital audio signal.  
This enables to record the sound with  
excellent sound quality using digital  
peripheral equipment such as a  
portable recorder corresponding to an  
96-kHz sampling frequency.  
High quality digital limiters/  
compressors  
The unit is equipped with digital  
limiters at the input and both digital  
compressor/limiters at the output.  
Using these features, the unit can  
provide highly stable audio recording.  
4 microphone/line inputs/2  
balanced outputs  
The unit is equipped with 4  
microphone/line inputs and 2 outputs,  
all with XLR type balanced  
connectors. Furthermore, digital AES/  
EBU output (stereo) with XLR  
connectors and IEC60958 format  
digital output with a coaxial connector  
are provided.  
Scene storing/recalling  
The unit allows to store up to ten  
different parameter settings such as  
panel-lock, parameter lock, and so on,  
as a scene file. Recalling the desired  
scene file switches the operating  
parameters of the unit immediately.

Full parameter controls on  
the front panel similar to  
those of analog mixers  
Solid and lightweight  
Since the unit is compact and  
lightweight, you can carry it easily.  
Also, its solid design enables it to  
stand work in the field.  
Controls and switches are logically  
laid out on the front panel to allow  
fast, easy and accurate setting  
adjustments. Also, the panel-lock  
function prevents you from operating  
the unit accidentally.  
Precautions  
• The unit is designed for use in  
ambient temperature range of 0°C to  
45°C (32°F to 113°F).  
• Do not place the unit on or near heat  
sources, such as lighting equipment,  
power amplifiers, or in a place  
subject to direct sunlight or excessive  
moisture. In such places, the external  
finish or internal parts of the unit  
may be damaged.  
• When cleaning the unit, never use  
organic solvents such as thinner or  
benzine, which will damage the finish  
of the unit.  
• The unit has been factory adjusted  
precisely. Do not tamper with its  
internal parts or attempt to repair it.  
• If the unit is used in a very humid or  
dusty place or in a place subject to an  
active or corrosive gas, clean it  
surface as well as the connectors  
with a dry, soft cloth soon after use.  
Lengthy use of the unit in such  
places or not cleaning it after its use  
in such places may shorten its life.

case, the PAN control becomes a  
Left/Right balance control. At the  
center position, an impression of  
stereo sound can be obtained.  
The LCF switches of channels 1  
and 3 are activated. The LCF  
switch of channel 1 acts as the  
LCF switch of channel 2, as well.  
Also, the LCF switch of channel 3

input) connector (Phono jack)  
Used for a cascade connection. When  
this unit is as the second one  
connected, connect this connector to  
the COAXIAL connector located on  
the right panel of the first DMX-P01.  
This unit is synchronized with the first  
DMX-P01 using the master clock  
signal extracted from the signal of this  
connector.  
• Be sure not to connect devices other  
than a UHF portable tuner.  
• The unit outputs the power, only  
when the unit operates with an  
external power supply.  
This connector outputs the power by  
dividing the power input via the  
DC IN 10-15 V connector. Thus the  
output voltage depends on the power  
input via the DC IN 10 - 15 V  
connector.  
Note  
In a cascade connection, the sampling  
rate of both DMX-P01 mixers must be  
matched. Set the sampling rate to  
match using the SAMPLING RATE  
switch.

MIC: Set to this position when  
connecting the equipment with an  
input signal between –30 dBu and

powered by an external battery while  
preserving the life of the internal  
batteries, the power supply is switched  
from internal batteries if the DC cord  
is disconnected accidentally or the  
external battery is shut down  
suddenly.  
Preparing a Power  
Supply  
The unit can be powered in the  
following two ways:  
Internal batteries  
Eight LR6 (size AA) alkaline  
batteries can be accommodated in the  
battery compartment.  
Inserting the Batteries  
in the Battery  
External battery  
A lithium ion battery or nickel metal  
hydride battery which is connected to  
the DC IN 10 - 15 V connector on  
the right panel. The unit is equipped  
with two types of DC IN 10 - 15 V  
connector, an XLR 4-pin and a DC  
jack type connector. Use either one  
depending on the external battery  
you are using.  
Compartment  
1 Pull the battery compartment  
toward you by pressing the lock  
levers.  
Notes  
• Do not connect external batteries to  
both the 4-pin of the XLR type  
connector and the DC jack type  
connector at the same time.  
Be sure to connect the external  
battery to either one.  
Connecting external batteries to  
both connectors may cause the  
deterioration of the external  
batteries.

2 Open the cover of the battery  
compartment by loosening the  
screw as illustrated.  
• Do not connect the external battery  
other than the BP-90 type battery to  
the DC jack type connector,  
because the polarity of the DC jack  
is different.

A spare battery compartment is  
supplied with the unit. If you insert  
eight new LR6 (size AA) alkaline  
batteries in this spare battery  
compartment beforehand, you can  
replace the regular battery  
compartment with the spare battery  
compartment quickly and easily when  
the internal batteries run low.

Battery life  
The battery designed for a camcorder,  
such as a lithium ion battery, is shut  
down around 10 V. The numerical  
value starts flashing when the battery  
power decreases to less than 10 V.  
Replace the external battery or use the  
internal batteries.  
For details, see “When the external  
battery runs low” below. When the  
external battery is equipped with a  
battery indicator, check this battery  
indicator, too.  
When the multi meter mode of the  
LCD is selected, the battery condition  
is shown on the LCD.  
To check the pwoer remaining in  
the internal batteries  
Shows the power remaining in

When internal batteries are loaded in  
the battery compartment, disconnect  
the DC cable of the external battery.  
The power is automatically supplied  
from the internal batteries.  
When the amount of power remaining  
in the batteries is low, the battery  
indication on the LCD starts flashing.  
Replace the batteires with new ones,  
or use the external battery.

Before removing the battery pack,  
connect the DC cable of the external  
battery to the DC IN 10 -15 V  
connector with the power switch of  
the unit set to on to switch to the  
external battery.
