The DVM120 Series consists of seven different problem fixers and audio tools for professional live and studio applications. All devices have the same "indestructible, well-conceived and no-compromise housing design" made of a solid 3mm extruded profile.
Due to the front and connection plates recessed by 18mm all controls and connectors - including the active components - are optimally protected against boot kicks etc in the tough daily routine on stage or in the studio
All active devices are equipped with an internal power supply, suitable for operating voltages between 90 and 240V (50/60HZ). The mains supply is provided via a high-quality combined IEC switch/fuse unit. The supplied locking IEC power cord ensures safe contact making.
Qualitysound is enabled by special transformers made by high-end manufacturer Lundahl from Sweden, high-grade electronic components and connectors and a designer team with decades of experience.
The aim was an uncompromising solution for connecting passive sources. The high input impedance of about 560 kohms (switchable to 280 kohms) allows the direct, quasi loss- and noisefree connection to the mixing console or preamplifier.
The DVM194 Series comprises four special components for installation, live and studio purposes. These can be mounted into the widespread SYSBOXX housing system by Sommer Cable and also integrated into all common housing systems according to DIN 41494, enabling a combination of connecting units and active electronics. All devices are powered via a four-pole XLR connection with 24V DC (general standard) - system power supplies are also available in the series.
The new Sommer Cable main catalogue with almost 500 pages will be available in time for Prolight+Sound 2012, presenting not only a wealth of information, but also a lot of product news.
Peter Rieck, key account manager with Sommer Cable, comments, "We are proud of being able to incorporate the new products into the DVM family. Sommer Cable is growing more and more into a system house with a full product range covering the fields of cables, connectors as well as active and passive signal management.
"With Bernhard 'Rammy' Ramroth we have added a very experienced designer and developer to our team. He has a reputation in the industry for his obsession with detail and his extremely high quality standard. We've known each other for many years - so it seemed quite natural to design and launch a new product series together."
