Installation
1. Déballage et inspection
Carefully remove the mixer from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Connexion de l'alimentation
Connect the included power adapter to the 12V DC input on the rear panel of the DAM1000. Secure the connection if a screw-type connector is present. Plug the adapter into a suitable AC power outlet. Ensure the mixer's power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.
3. Connexion des microphones et des instruments
The DAM1000 features 4 LAXY-PRE microphone inputs (XLR/TRS combo jacks) and additional stereo line inputs.
- Microphones XLR : Connect XLR microphones to channels 1-4. If your microphone requires phantom power (e.g., condenser microphones), activate the individual +48V phantom power switch for that channel. Ensure the microphone is connected before activating phantom power.
- Line Instruments: Connect instruments or line-level devices (e.g., keyboards, guitar preamps) to the TRS inputs of channels 1-4 or the stereo line inputs (channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10).
4. Connexion à un ordinateur (USB)
The DAM1000 can connect to a computer via its USB-C port for recording and playback. Use a USB-C cable to connect the mixer to your computer.
- Pilote ASIO : For Windows users, install the dedicated ASIO driver from the Donner website for low-latency performance. Mac users typically do not require a separate driver.
- Configuration du logiciel: Select the DAM1000 as your audio input/output device in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) or recording software.

5. Couplage Bluetooth
The DAM1000 supports Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless audio input.
- Activation : Press the Bluetooth button on the mixer. The indicator light will flash, indicating pairing mode.
- Appariement de l'appareil : On your Bluetooth-enabled device (e.g., smartphone, tablet), search for available devices and select "Donner DAM1000".
- Connexion: Once paired, the Bluetooth indicator light on the mixer will become solid. You can now stream audio wirelessly to the mixer.
- Coupure: To disconnect, press and hold the Bluetooth button until the light turns off, or disconnect from your device's Bluetooth settings.
Opérationnel
1. Basic Mixing Controls
Each input channel (1-4) and stereo input (5/6, 7/8, 9/10) features various controls:
- GAIN: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the connected microphone or instrument. Set this to achieve a strong signal without clipping (indicated by the PEAK LED).
- COUPE-BAS: Active un filtre passe-haut pour éliminer les grondements indésirables à basse fréquence.
- Égaliseur (haut, moyen, bas) : Adjusts the tonal balance of the channel.
- FX : Sends a portion of the channel's signal to the internal digital effects processor.
- NIVEAU: Contrôle le volume global du canal dans le mixage principal.
- PAN (Balance): Positionne le son du canal dans le champ stéréo (de gauche à droite).
- MUET: Coupe le signal.
2. Using Compressors
Channels 1-4 are equipped with independent compressors. The compressor knob adjusts the amount of compression applied to the input signal. Turn the knob clockwise to increase compression, which helps to smooth out dynamic peaks and add sustain. Monitor the PEAK LED to avoid over-compression.
3. Effets numériques (DSP)
The DAM1000 includes 24 types of DSP effects (e.g., reverb, delay). Use the FX section to select and apply effects.
- Bouton de programme : Rotates to select different effect programs.
- Bouton de paramètre : Adjusts a specific parameter of the selected effect (e.g., decay time for reverb, delay time for delay).
- Niveau FX : Controls the overall volume of the effects return in the main mix.

4. Suivi
Connect headphones to the PHONES jack for monitoring the main mix. The PHONES LEVEL knob controls the headphone volume. The main output level is controlled by the MAIN MIX fader.
5. enregistrement
When connected to a computer via USB, the DAM1000 sends the main stereo mix to your recording software. Ensure your DAW is configured to receive audio from the mixer. Adjust channel levels and the main mix fader to achieve optimal recording levels.
Entretien
1. Nettoyage
Regularly clean the mixer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or solvents, as these can damage the finish and internal components. Keep dust out of faders and knobs.
2. Stockage
When not in use for extended periods, store the mixer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If possible, use the original packaging for protection.
