WHAT IS DIGITAL MIXER?

In professional audio, a digital mixing console (DMC) is an electronic device used to combine, route, and change the dynamics, equalization and other properties of multiple audio input signals, using digital computers rather than analog circuitry. The digital audio samples, which is the internal representation of the analog inputs, are summed to what is known as a master channel to produce a combined output. A professional digital mixing console is a dedicated desk or control surface produced exclusively for the task, and is typically more robust in terms of user control, processing power and quality of audio effects. However, a computer with proper controller hardware can act as the device for the digital mixing console since it can mimic its interface, input and output.

ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL MIXER

There is no added noise, (unintentional) distortion, or other signal degradation while the signal is in the digital domain, between the output of the analog to digital converter(ADC) and the input to the digital to analog (DAC).
Aux sends can be mixed on the main faders rather than on a row of potentiometers.
Signal routing is often much more flexible than with an analog-based console.
The setup of the console can be saved and loaded at will. This is particularly useful in live events where a setup for each band can be largely prepared in advance, saved, and then loaded as needed.
There are typically many on-board effects and virtual signal processors available, eliminating the need for additional hardware modules, and the associated cost, size, weight, cabling, signal quality issues, etc.

DISADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL MIXER

There is an analog to digital conversion, then processing of the signal, then a digital to analog conversion, which degrades the sound quality. This is subject to debate, since the quality degradation is not always noticeable.
The number of faders is often fewer than the number of input channels. The extra input channels are not accessible until a bank of faders is switched to control them.
Digital conversion and processing adds latency, or delay, into the signal.
The act of making adjustments is often slower for compact digital mixers which require the user to page through one or more layers of commands before reaching the desired control.

DIGITAL MIXER FOR S LIVE SOUND REINFORCEMENT?

Most digital consoles have a gate, compressor and fully-parametric EQ on every input channel, and possibly every output channel as well. Most analog boards do not– so you'd need a ton of outboard gear to have the same flexibility.

The price of the digital mixer by brand, quality and service. If the quality of a digital mixer is more sophisticated and better then the price will be more expensive. but the average price of a digital mixer in malaysia around RM 8000, reaching to RM100 000
