TASCAM DM-24 Installation and Use DM-24 Basics v. 2.0 - Page 4

Options • IF-TD/DM (TDIF I/O) $249 • IF-AD/DM (ADAT lightpipe I/O w/ ADAT Sync) $249 • IF-AE/DM (AES/EBU I/O on a D-25 connection) $299 • IF-AN/DM (Analog I/O on two D-25 connections) $499 • IF-CS/DM (Cascade card w/ cascade cable) $299 • MU-24 (Meterbridge plus cable) $949 • Each of the optional interface cards has 8 channels of I/O. • Mixing 24 tracks of ADAT or any other lightpipe device requires two optional ADAT I/O cards. • Adding two AES/EBU cards provides a total of 20 channels of AES/EBU I/O (four channels come standard on the DM-24 on two standard XLR connectors.) • Two analog cards are necessary if 32 channels of analog; +4 line level inputs are required. • The MU-24 has 26 meters (24 channels plus the stereo buss) and a large time code display. There is a meter menu in the DM-24 that provides access to all of the parameters for the meterbridge, such as meter ballistics and pre/post metering. The mounting brackets allow the MU-24 to be moved in front of or behind the input jacks on the DM-24. The MU24 can also tilt backwards or forwards to achieve the best viewing angle for your needs. Outputs Although only 3 "return" interfaces can be used to assign the return signal to channels, all of the TDIF, ADAT, AES/EBU, S/PDIF and Option card outputs are always active. For instance, 24 channels of TDIF can be mixed in 5.1 surround to the ADAT outputs. Those same 8 busses could also congruently be routed to the two Option Slot outputs. This is useful if the 5.1 mix must be bussed to 3 different formats (such as ADAT, DTRS and Pro Tools) simultaneously. 4
