Tascam MM-4D/IN-X 4-Channel Dante Input - XLR

About: Tascam MM-4D/IN-X 4-Channel Dante Input - XLR

Built-in DSP 4 mic/line input Dante converter to respond to various needs of contractor market and professional audio scene.

The MM-4D/IN-X is a compact converter that converts 4-channel mic/line input signals into Dante signals. With half the size of a standard 1U rack, the MM-4D/IN-X is suitable for different Dante systems as an exquisite analog output unit. The built-in DSP mixer enables small scale systems to fully perform with a variety of input/output models the TASCAM Dante Compact Processor Series offers. MM-4D/IN-X supports up to 96kHz/24bit and uses XLR connectors for analog mic/line input.

Phantom power and remote gain control compatible mic preamps

The installed mic preamps support phantom power (+48V) and the input gain can be remote controlled via TASCAM DCP CONNECT software, via Dante or other external controllers.

TASCAM studio quality mic preamps installed

The MM-4D/IN-X has installed two natural-sounding, high grade TASCAM mic preamps made with all the knowledge and experience cultivated through the years in the making of pro audio equipment. Input range covers from -70 dBu to +26 dBu, with equivalent input noise achieving less than -125 dB, and signal-noise ratio over 108 dB.

Compressor, 4 band parametric EQ, auto level, and more effects included

They can be finely adjusted depending on the mic/line equipment used.

Using the built-in matrix mixer, users can mix up to 8 different sources (4-channel mic/line inputs with 4-channel Dante inputs) and configure the settings on each of the four output zones. The matrix mixer is also equipped with a ducking function and an ambient noise compensator function, which detects the level of environmental sounds and automatically adjusts the input level of the source.

Input/output routing

Flexible routing allows users to choose the output zone of 4 mic/line inputs or the built-in matrix mixer output zone as 4 Dante output. The MM-4D/IN-E can also be used as a simple mic/line input unit by bypassing the matrix mixer.

Scene preset and timer event functions

Effect parameters, mix levels, input/output routings, etc. settings can be saved as up to 50 different presets by the scene preset function. This function allows switching different presets seamlessly in different environments. By using the scene preset function together with the SNTP client included-timer event function*, it is possible to automatically switch different scenes at a specified time.

*Timer event function is planned to be compatible on a future version update.

PoE supported

Power supply can be provided to the unit via PoE (Power over Ethernet).
No need for AC adaptors; power supply construction fees and installation costs can be reduced by using a PoE compatible network switch.

Remote control via control software

Controlling effects or the matrix mixer can be easily done through the dedicated control software; depending on the amount of controls the user needs, there are two types:

• TASCAM DCP CONNECT, designed for system integrators/managers that handle the configuration and settings of an entire system.
• TASCAM EZ CONNECT, designed for end-users and allowing them to use simple controls.

Compatible with Windows / macOS / Android / iOS devices.

Installable according to usage/environment

Units can be easilly installed directly under desks or on walls with the included surface mount adaptors.

With the optional rack-mountable shelf AK-RS1, up to two Dante Compact Processor models can be installed in a 19 inch rack space.
