An infinitely flexible internal 16-input and 20-bus digital mixer is a must for surround recording. Analog input limiters provide protection against harsh digital clipping. Each channel on the Deva is equipped with EQ, notch filter, compressor and delay.

Each of the 8 digital outputs can be individually switched between output bus configuration and direct digital out. The direct digital outputs allow input channels to be seamlessly routed to feed external backup recorders.
