Direct metal mastering (DMM) is an disc technique jointly developed by two German companies, Telefunken-Decca () and GmbH, toward the end of the 20th century after having seen the same technology used by Princeton Labs for its videodiscs in the late-1970s.
Records manufactured with this technology are often marked by a "DMM" logo on the outer record sleeve. Many current production high quality pressings, as well as standard production LPs from the 1990s, only indicate its use by inscribing "DMM" in the lead-out groove area of the disc.
Neumann was responsible for manufacturing the actual DMM cutting equipment as part of its VMS80 series . Unlike conventional , where the mechanical audio is cut onto a -coated aluminum disc, DMM cuts straight into metal (), utilizing a carrier system and specialized , vibrating at more than 40 kHz (i.e. 60 kHz) to facilitate the cutting.
