The AR-DM31 is a third generation digital audio rack-mount monitor from Marshall, featuring improved audio quality and a redesigned chassis. The AR-DM31 has reengineered speaker enclosures to maximize output power and new front panels that allow more natural reproduction of all frequencies in the 200-20,000 Hz range. The existing volume and balance knobs have been modified for easier access.
The AR-DM31 is ideal for TV facilities, studios, post production, VTR bays, mobile production vehicles, satellite links, and wherever multichannel audio monitoring is required. The AR-DM31 supports 16 audio channels with four slots available for interchangeable input / output modules. This unit also provides pristine audio quality and unrivaled flexibility with 100% digital processing, Class D (digital) amplification, selectable stereo downmix modes, Dolby® Digital / Dolby® E decoding capability (with optional ARDM-D552 module), a 1/4-inch headphone jack with Level control, and a USB port for on-site firmware upgrades.
The AR-DM31 also provides LED indicators for monitoring signal presence and system status. Channel, Group, Mix, Dolby®, and Balance selection, and saved configurations are easily accessed via the system's large navigation buttons. For audio playback, the AR-DM31 provides two magnetically-shielded loudspeakers in a compact 1RU design.
