64-input, 24-bus Digital Console/Control Surface with 24 Preamps
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-input 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.

Its Remote layer provides 24-fader Mackie HUI or Mackie Control emulation for control of premiere workstations like Pro Tools, Logic, SONAR and Nuendo.

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.
