Product Overview
The TASCAM ML-4D/Out series are 4-Channel Line Output Dante Converters with built-in DSP Mixers that convert Dante input signals into 4-channel line output signals. Available in two versions - the ML-4D/OUT-E which utilzes a Euroblock (balanced) connection system, while the ML-4D/OUT-X offers 3-pin XLR connections in the back. With these models, the built-in DSP outputs respond to the various needs of the contractor market and professional audio scene.
The ML-4D/Out series are compact converters with half the size of a standard 1U rack, and are 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; all while supporting up to 96kHz/24bit.
TASCAM's ML-4D series not only converts Dante signals into 4-channel line signals; they can also convert them into 4-channel Dante output signals, making it possible to direct these to a Dante established network using the built-in DSP matrix mixer.
The Dante Compact Processor Series provide easy additional mic/line or AES/EBU input/output to several situations and places such as public facilities, broadcasting stations, recording studios, etc. where Dante systems are being used. They are the optimal input/output unit for small scale environments. The Dante Compact Processor Series are equipped with a matrix mixer that includes a DSP feature with compressors, parametric EQs, limiter, delay, etc. functions. From the input of microphone signals to the output of powered speakers; also applicable with recording/playback systems, the Dante Compact Processor Series can build up a complete small system on their own.
