Tascam DM3200 - First 16 Buss Digital Console under $20,000
TASCAM's DM3200 provides a list of mixing specs that equal or surpass digital
consoles over twice its price: More channels. More inputs. The new TASCAM DM-3200
has more of everything that made the DM-24 a pedigreed studio workhorse. Plus
an improved physical interface with per-channel multi-function LED ring encoders,
more comprehensive DAW control, vastly improved routing fl exibility, easier
and robust data backup/ restore, greatly expanded mix storage using compact
fl ash media and much more.
The DM3200 is a 32-channel digital mixing console, even at its full 96kHz /
24-bit audio resolution. It features 48 inputs at mixdown, 4-band fully-parametric
EQ and dynamics on every channel, and four effects processors. It mixes in surround,
panning up to 6.1 output channels, and the optional IF-SM/DM expansion card
adds surround monitoring and downmixing to the DM-3200. An additional expansion
card, the IF-FW/DM FireWire card, turns the console into a 24-channel computer
audio interface, making it a complete studio solution for professional DAW recording.
More channels. More inputs. The new TASCAM DM3200 has more of everything that

with per-channel multi-function LED ring encoders, more comprehensive DAW control,
vastly improved routing flexibility, easier and robust data backup/ restore,
greatly expanded mix storage using compact flash media and much more.
The DM3200 features 32 full-featured channels and 16 returns for a total of
48 channels at mixdown ? even at its full 96kHz / 24-bit audio resolution. It
has 4-band fully-parametric EQ and dynamics on every channel and two effects
processors, each capible of running the built-in TC Works Reverb processor.
Surround mixing is available with up to 6.1-channel panning, and the optional
IF-SM/DM expansion card adds surround monitoring and downmixing to the DM3200.
The DM3200 provides a new way to record with DAW recording software. With the
addition of an optional expansion card, the IF-FW/DM FireWire interface, the
DM3200 becomes a 24-channel computer audio interface, making it a complete studio
solution for professional DAW recording. Built-in HUI, Mackie Control and FW-1884
emulation allows the console to function as a flexible control surface for workstation
software. This gives you the best of both worlds ? total control over your recording
software transport and mixing capabilities with the cue mixing, talkback, microphone
preamps and world-class automation provided by the DM3200.
Mixing inside of a computer is difficult enough in stereo, and when you start
working on surround projects, managing and monitoring all of the ins and outs
becomes more like air traffic control. The DM3200 becomes your control center
for mixing large projects with dozens of channels. It can mix your tracks with
one snapshot, and with two button presses you're ready to transfer them to a
dubber or video deck.
Just connect your DAW interface, like Digidesign's 192 Digital I/O for Pro
Tools(R), to one of the digital connections on the rear panel (or use our optional
IF-FW/DM FireWire interface card). The DM3200 even acts as a HUI controller
for Pro Tools, allowing you to mix some channels in the DAW and others in the
console.
The DM3200 is an outstanding choice for mixing in surround, with 5.1 and even
6.1 automated panning. The 16 busses become two surround busses in surround
mode, allowing you to buss channels to discrete stems. The optional IF-SM/DM
Surround Monitoring card provides downmixing to stereo, individual output solo/mute
and bass management features to the console.
Like the DM24, the DM3200 makes a reliable choice for sound reinforcement.
Its 16 mic inputs give you plenty of channels for performances or services,
and more mic inputs can be added as needed using external rackmount preamps
with digital outputs. Each of the 32 channels features four-band parametric
EQ, gating and compression processing. Two built-in effects processors can access
a variety of great-sounding effects processors, including a reverb processor
by TC Works.
If you're the one installing the DM3200 into a facility, you can program a
variety of settings and back up your programs to a Compact Flash card. Recalling
snapshots is done using dedicated buttons on the front panel, so loading a mixer
setting is as simple as changing channels on a TV remote.
The rear panel of the DM3200 is well-stocked with balanced and digital I/O,
allowing ample connectivity to crossovers, as well as CD and cassette recorders
such as our popular CC-222 mkII.
Add the optional IF-FW/DM interface card to the DM3200, and it becomes the
ultimate computer interface and mixing surface for your workstation software.
The IF-FW/DM allows a single FireWire cable to transmit 24 channels from your
computer to the DM3200 and another 24 channels back to the computer for recording
at 44.1k or 48k sample rates. Using this expansion card, no other interface
or hardware is needed for recording to a computer.
The DM3200 has a fader layer, labeled 'Remote', that's dedicated to controlling
the mixing facilities in your DAW software. Cubase SX 2.2 & higher, Nuendo
2.2 & higher, Logic 7.1 & higher, SONAR 4 & higher and Pro Tools
are supported. The DM3200's solid transport keys can be mapped to your software
in any fader layer, and adjustments to your software mixer is a fader layer
away.
The DM3200 + IF-FW/DM combination gives you the best of both worlds: computer
recording and DAW control with world-class mixing, automation and monitoring
features.

DM3200 for Music Tracking
When you're tracking a band in your studio, there are certain features that
musicians and producers demand from a recording console. The DM3200 gives you
eight aux sends so that you can give individual cue mixes to each musician and
have some left over to buss to the two built-in effects. It has a professional
control room section with talkback mic and slate functions as well as three
playback source selection switches.
For recording large ensembles you get 16 microphone preamps, each with analog
insert, phantom power (selectable in groups of four) and a -20dB pad switch.
Four assignable analog inputs are provided, for inserting your favorite tube
compressor on a console channel, or you can use the 4-band EQ and dynamics found
on every channel.
When the sound is dialed in, send that channel to its own track with the Direct
button or combine inputs to the 16 busses. There are plenty of digital and analog
I/O options to combine stand-alone hard disk recorders (like the TASCAM X-48),
analog tape recorders or computer-based DAW recorders. The affordable DM3200
handles all of the routing and bussing you need in a professional studio, allowing
you to concentrate on running your session.
DM3200 for Post Production and Game Production
