Tascam DM 4800 Digital Studio Mixer

64-input 24-bus Digital Console Control Surface with 24 Preamps This 64 Channel digital Tascam console is in excellent condition. It was used in our church and did a phenomenal job for what the equipment was designed for. We primarily utilize volunteers for our sound technicians and as a result needed to find something more user friendly in an analog format to teach them the basics of sound crafting. The audio quality is incredible and the flexibility is tremendous. Lots of built in pro effects as well as compressor gate EQ everything is here on every channel. The included IF-FW DM mkII interface card provides 32 channels to and from a computer at up to 96kHz over a single FireWire cable. With this you can record 32 channels directly from the board to mac or pc so it makes for a great front end for your studio as well as control surface for just about any audio software package. This does not include the meter bridge. The board has the built in ADAT ports for 8 channels of digital ADAT I O. Below are manufacturer s specs. Shipping cost will be taken care of by the buyer.Tascam has a knack for observing trends in audio production and coming up with products that address at once all of the issues that audio professionals face. The DM-4800 is just such a product. This is the ultimate digital console for professional users who require a flexible 64-channel mix platform that configures to fit their needs. A fat channel strip in the center of the board provides instant access to 4-band parametric EQ dynamics and aux controls available for the first 48 channels. Twenty-four studio-grade mic preamps provide enough inputs for a live event and more can be added using expansion cards with external preamps. The standard compliment of analog and digital I O is more than you ll find on consoles costing three times as much and a completely configurable 24-buss routing system allows you to re-patch the board at the flick of a switch.Tascam s DM-4800 fits seamlessly into the modern recording environment based around a computer DAW. Its Remote layer provides 24-fader Mackie HUI or Mackie Control emulation for control of premiere workstations like Pro Tools Logic SONAR and Nuendo.
