Overview
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.
4 Mic Line Input, 4 Dante Input/Output
The MM-4D/IN-X converts 4-channel mic/line input signals into 4-channel Dante output signals. It also supports 4-channel Dante input/output making it possible to use audio sources within an established Dante network.
2 mic/line input/output, 4 Dante input/output
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.
Built-In 8 In/4 Out Matrix Mixer
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.
Built-in 8 in/4 out matrix mixer
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-X can also be used as a simple mic/line input unit by bypassing the matrix mixer.
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.
