A compact console designed for installed systems and event racks

The Compact 8.1 belongs to the family of compact 19-inch mixing consoles, designed to offer a maximum number of inputs and useful functions in minimal height. Its 1U format clearly targets rack integrations where space is limited, while maintaining clear ergonomics for quick on-site use.

Who is the Compact 8.1 for and in what applications?

This microphone-line mixing console is particularly suited for fixed installations (meeting rooms, places of worship, bars, small stages, multipurpose rooms) and event services requiring a compact and reliable solution. It is also suitable for technicians and DJs/hosts who need to manage multiple microphones, players, and auxiliary sources, with a clean master output and convenient monitoring.

Thanks to its signal and clipping indicators per channel, level reading remains clear even at a distance, which is valuable during events when the console is racked or positioned away from the main station.

Questions frequently asked

Can the Dap Audio Audio Compact 8.1 be mounted in a 19-inch rack?

Its rack-mountable chassis occupies 1U and measures 481 x 44 x 175 mm (W x H x D). This format is designed for fixed installations and event racks.

How many microphones and line sources can be connected?

The connectors include 8 microphone inputs on XLR and 8 line inputs on RCA. Each channel has signal and clip indicators to monitor levels.

Is phantom power available on the microphone inputs?

The microphone inputs feature phantom power as well as high-pass filters.

How to connect the master output to a PA system?

The balanced master output on XLR allows connecting the mixer to a sound system or amplifier. A recording output is also provided to capture the stereo mix.

Can the headphone output feed a second sound zone?

The headphone level control also affects the monitoring output. This output can therefore be used as an independent send for a second room, a monitor, or a dedicated foldback. The master EQ includes a mid sweep to reduce a problematic frequency.
