The TM-D4000 is an incredibly cost effective mixer, and is
flexible enough to fit into a number of applications.
Personal and Project Studios
The TM-D4000 is a wonderful centerpiece for studios based
around MDMs (Modular Digital Multitracks). A digital mixer
minimizes the A/D and D/A conversions, allowing the highest
quality audio available. The TDIF and Lightpipe cards come
with their associated machine control built in, offering direct
control right from the surface of the console. The added
value of all the dynamic processors, extensive EQ and built
in effects offer mix control far beyond anything found in
analog consoles many times the price. Plus, dynamic
automation capabilities with the external Windows 95/98
computer and surround sound capabilities solidify the mixer's
relevance well into the future of DVD audio delivery.
Audio for Video
The TM-D4000 has 8 high quality mic preamps and surround
mixing capabilities, offering a powerful solution for monitor
mixes in ADR and Foley stages, as well as recording simple
surround stems for later assembly. The TM-D4000 has a
standard 9-pin port for controlling video decks, and can
be equipped with AES/EBU cards for interfacing with most
any digital audio workstation. For larger projects, up to four
TM-D4000s can be cascaded providing up to 128 channels.

The TM-D4000 is TASCAM's third generation of digital mixers,
benefiting from seven years' development of digital mixing
technology. The TM-D4000 is a 32 channel, 8 buss, 6 auxiliary
digital mixer with built in effects and surround mix capabilities.
For users wanting even more channels, up to four TM-D4000s
can be cascaded with the built-in cascade port. A flexible I/O
structure and extensive built-in machine control capabilities
allow users to integrate this mixer into many live and recording
situations. Single layer buttons and a large, clear screen offer
intuitive navigation of this feature packed mixer. Libraries for
EQ curves, dynamics, snapshots, and effects allow frequent
settings to be recalled at any time. Dynamic automation
can be accomplished with the included Windows 95/98
software application.
