«  A console compact and versatile »

Value For Money : Correct
Cettte rack console is not installed but can be embedded maintained by the wrists. I also states that the cuffs are plastic imitation wood. This does not detract from the quality of the console.

She has all kinds of connections on the back: XLR microphone jack line and insert the 16 channels it is mainly inputs. It does not have analog outputs for channels but it is not a handicap unless you're still using an old multitrack magnetic tape. This type of output is more utililisée to air digital. the magneto to send digital or computer are respectively SPDIF or Firewire. it says 4 inputs / outputs are available to assign what you want (onstage, headphones departures, effects ... etc.)

She works with 24-bit 4-level sampling 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96khz so it is possible to achieve
a very good definition of sound and can collect large saturation levels which may be useful in live applications.

48 channels are used they are arranged in 3 layers of 16 tracks, they Ceres 8 Aux sends,

Level of automation it is very comprehensive and even manages to activate the IPG controls analog and trigger events (starting magneto, lighting, curtain opening, triggered pyrotechnic effects in sync ... etc.)

An effects section is built into the console with two sources. one designed by TASCAM TC ELECTRONIC another pat. The effects are very good quality and personalized with much paramettres.



UTILIZATION

In terms of ergonomics, an adaptation period is needed to understand the logic of screens, the button layout and multi mode (compactness required)
But once the environment is understood as happiness, keys to access main functions can be programmed.
After setting the screen in dedicated communication with the DAW (digital audio workstation) is no problem.
The manual is clear but succinct sometimes. A separate manual is dedicated to automation is well designed and comprehensive.


SOUNDS

The converters are of very good quality and preserve the natural sound.
While it is always useful to ulises a preamp dedicated to voice recording, this console has a preamp input of good quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this console for 3 years. before I worked with a table analog studio master serie 5
The TASCAM DM 3200 has nothing to do it is another world.

What I like most is his versatility, ergonomics.

What I like least is the screen! It is very fragile and too small for a console that level as well as for all functions parmetrage the screen is a clear interface. Without it, the console is unusable because no output to an external screen has been anticipated.

Aside from this defect, we are dealing with a console of very good quality at a very reasonable price.

I would do this choice without a doubt, especially since I believe that a solution to the screen is about to be found and not by Tascam.
