TASCAM DM-4800 Digital Mixing Console

Big, versatile, and armed to the teeth.

The Tascam DM 4800 is the ultimate digital console for professional users who demand 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 audio mixer fits seamlessly into the modern recording environment based around a computer DAW. With a single button press, the Remote layer provides a 24 fader control surface for control of premiere workstations such as Pro Tools, Logic, SONAR, DP, Cubase and Nuendo. The optional IF FW/DM mkII interface card provides 32 channels to and from a computer at up to 96kHz over a single FireWire cable. And the optional surround monitoring card provides downmixing, bass management and level control for mixing in up to 6.1 surround. No matter what your application, the Tascam DM 4800 adapts to the needs of any professional audio installation.
