Tascam MM-4D/IN-E DANTE Compact Processor

Product

Information: The MM-4D/IN-E 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-E 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-E supports up to 96kHz/24bit and uses

Euroblock connectors for analog mic/line input.

4 mic / line input, 4 Dante input / output

The MM-4D/IN-E 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.

Half-rack size Dante Compact Processor Series

The Dante Compact Processor Series has a line-up of models with

different input/output specifications:

MM-4D/IN, 4-channel mic/line input

ML-4D/OUT, 4-channel line output

MM-2D, 2-channel mic/line input/output

AE-4D, AES/EBU 4-channel input/output

For analog input/output models, the branch extends with units

equipped with Euroblock or XLR connectors that users can choose

depending on their usage. By combining multiple different units all

at once, it is possible to match and introduce them into various

systems.

Optimal input/output unit for different Dante systems

The Dante Compact Processor Series provide easy additional mic/line

or AES/EBU input/output to several situations and places such as

public facilities, broadcasting stations, recording studios, etc.

where Dante systems are being used. They are the optimal

input/output unit for small scale environments.

Structuring small scale systems with the DSP function

The Dante Compact Processor Series are equipped with a matrix mixer

that includes a DSP feature with compressors, parametric EQs,

limiter, delay, etc. functions. From the input of microphone signals

to the output of powered speakers; also applicable with

recording/playback systems, the Dante Compact Processor Series can

build up a complete small system on their own.

Flexible routing

Routing to each Dante device is easy via Dante controller.

Input/output units can be added flexibly to new or already

established Dante systems.

Compatible with Dante Domain Manager and AES67 mode

The Dante Compact Processor Series are compatible with Dante Domain

Manager, which features security functions and enables the use of

wide-area networks. This helps the Dante Compact Processor Series

access easily to Dante systems using already established network

infrastructures. With the AES67 mode, connection to AES67 network

systems is also possible.

The advantages of introducing Dante Network Audio

These are some of the benefits provided when adopting Dante Network

Audio:

Reduction of system costs

It is possible to have a maximum transmission of 128ch I/O with one

single CAT5e cable. This leads to fewer cables needed, not to

mention the reduction of costs on wiring and space for cable pits.

Improved connection flexibility

All equipment can be freely connected and routed by applying star

connections.

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-E 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.

Input/output routing

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-E can also be used as a simple mic/line input unit by

bypassing the matrix mixer.

Scene preset and timer event functions

Effect parameters, mix levels, input/output routings, etc. settings

can be saved as up to 50 different presets by the scene preset

function. This function allows switching different presets

seamlessly in different environments. 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.

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.

Installable according to usage/environment

Units can be easilly installed directly under desks or on walls with

the included surface mount adaptors.

With the optional rack-mountable shelf AK-RS1, up to two Dante

Compact Processor models can be installed in a 19 inch rack space. Specifications:

4-channel mic/line input with phantom power

(+48v) support
