Tascam MX-8A 8-Channel 8 Input /8 Output Matrix Mixer with DSP

8 Input /8 Output Matrix Mixer with DSPMatrix Mixer with built-in DSP for small and mid-scale audio installations.The TASCAM MX-8A is a Matrix Mixer equipped with 8 mic / line inputs and 8 line outputs as well as integrated DSP for audio optimization in various environments and configurations Custom control apps are also available to allow easy setup and adjustment by both system integrators and end users.Dedicated wall-mount external controllerSource selection, volume adjustment, and mute functions can be remotely changed with the external wall-mount programmable controllers RC-W100-R120 and RC-W100-R86. Both controllers are equipped with one LCD display, an encoder and 4 switches. Up to 8 units of RC-W100-R120 or RC-W100-R86 can be installed with one TASCAM MX-8A.Note• RC-W100-R120 and RC-W100-R86 are optional accessories, sold separately.• The following updates are required to use RC-W100:• MX-8A firmware update to V1.10 or higher• TASCAM MX CONNECT software update to V1.2.0 or higher.Structuring small to mid-scale systemsThe TASCAM MX-8A is possible to mix mic and playback equipment audio signals into 8 different zones. This function can be used in installation systems for small to medium scale stores, restaurants or banquet rooms, etc.Remote Control SoftwareControl of the TASCAM MX-8A via either of the two available control software applications:• TASCAM MX CONNECT, designed for integrators and providing control over the configuration and settings of an entire system.• TASCAM EZ CONNECT, designed for end-users and providing easy control over a variety of settings.Phantom Power and Remote Gain ControlThe integrated mic preamps support phantom power (+48V) and the input gain may also be controlled remotely via the TASCAM MX CONNECT software; RS-232C or Ethernet compatible control systems.TASCAM Studio Quality Mic PreampsThe MX-8A features high grade TASCAM borne of years of designing professional audio equipment. Input range covers -70 dBu to +26 dBu, with equivalent input noise achieving less than -126 dB, and a signal-noise ratio of over 108 dB.Built-in 10 in/10 out matrix mixerThe MX-8A is able to mix 10 different sources (8-channel mic/line inputs with stereo USB audio interface) and set mix configurations for each of the 8 different output zones, plus the stereo USB audio interface output zone.Auto audio configuration functions for a clearer soundWith the ducking function and/or the ambient noise compensator function, users will be able to have a much clearer sound when making announcements or when playing some background music. These can be configured different on each output zone of the matrix mixer.DuckingThis function detects the level of a mic input and simultaneously turns down the level of the selected output zone. This can be used to increase intelligibility of announcements when background music is present.Ambient Noise CompensatorThe Ambient Noise Compensator (ANC) function also detects input source level and automatically configures the level of the selected output zone. Whenever there is fluctuation on the noise level of a field environment, this function will automatically compensate the volume for clearer background music or announcements.Output Routing8 different mixes can be flexibly routed to the 8 line outputs.Configurable Output ModulesThe powerful DSP of the TASCAM MX-8A will also allow processing of signals routed to the output for easy optimization for different spaces and audio playback systems throughout the installation.Compatible with Audio Playback / Recording softwareThe built-in 2 in / 2 out USB audio interface also enables the TASCAM MX-8A to function as powerful and flexible audio recording interface, compatible with a variety of operating systems including: Windows / macOS / Android / iOS.Scene Preset and Timer Event FunctionsEffect parameters, mix levels, input / output routings and more can be saved in one of 50 different preset locations. By using the scene preset function together with the SNTP client included timer event function, it is possible to automatically switch different scenes at a specified time.
