Tascam ML-32D 32 Channel Analog/Dante Converter

Full Description

Convert with ease

Using the Tascam ML-32D you can easily transmit up to 32 analog line input/output signals. This is great for hooking up your older analog gear to your modern digital audio workstation. Access the ML-32D's flexible routing by using the handy - and free - Audient Dante controller software helping you connect to your DANTE-compatible devices.

This Dante focused device makes the routing of your signals easier than ever. And with three different sample rates - being 44.1k, 48k, and 96k - you'll be able to get the best possible quality from your instruments and devices. 32 channels of professional quality, top-class analog conversion.

Monitor Your levels accurately

In order to detect problems or just to monitor your levels with a visual cue, Tascam have provided you with a 32-channel indicator. This allows you to watch your signal in, signal out, and overload. It indicates this with 96 LED's on the front panel of the ML-32D. The indicator flashes when a signal level becomes lower than –60dBFs. This is extremely useful when trying to find trouble spots when more than a few inputs and outputs are being used.

Professionalism as standard

The five reference level settings on the ML-32D offer you a lot of options when fitting the rack-mounted converter into your own mixing environment. The five levels are: +24dBu, +22dBu, +20dBu, and +18dBu (the standard level is +4dBu) and +15dBu with the standard level being +6dBu. This allows you to set your levels to different broadcast standards like public address or broadcast studios.

Flexible connectivity

The ML-32D offers connectivity to input and output breakout boxes. The D-Sub 25-pin connectors are used as analog line input/output connectors which can be connected to optional breakout boxes. They can be connected to BO-32DE, BO-16X/IN, and BO-16DX/OUT boxes - all sold separately - which gives you a myriad of new connectivity options.
