MM-4D/IN

The MM-4D/IN features four natural-sounding, high-grade mic preamplifiers made by Tascam with all the knowledge and experience cultivated through the years in the making of pro audio equipment. Input range covers from –74 dBu to +26 dBu, with equivalent input noise achieving less than –125 dB, and signal-to-noise ratio over 105 dB.

The MM-4D/IN incorporates a complete set of DSP functions for all the processing your input audio signals might need, plus mixing and internal routing. You can set gain, trim, phase, compression, 4-band EQ and more for each input and apply 10-band EQ, delay, limiting and other features to each output.

Built-in 8x4 mixer

Using the internal mixer, you can mix up to eight input sources (four mic/line inputs with four Dante input channels) and create four different mixes which can then be assigned to Dante outputs via the routing matrix. The mixer is also equipped with a ducking function and an ANC (ambient noise compensator) function, which detects the level of environmental sounds and automatically adjusts the input level of the source.

Built-in 12x4 routing matrix

The routing matrix lets you assign the four mic/line inputs, four mixes or four Dante inputs to the four Dante outputs. And if you need only a simple mic/line input unit, you can bypass the entire mixer and assign just inputs to Dante outputs.

Store scene presets and recall them using timer events

You can save your input/output routings, mix levels and other settings as one of 50 presets. This makes it easy to switch between different types of events or environments. By using scene presets together with the timer event function* (which brings its own SNTP client), it is possible to automatically change settings at specified times.

*Timer event function is planned for a future firmware update.

All DCP series models can be powered over the network connection (PoE, Power over Ethernet). This means you don’t need an AC adapter for each unit – there does not even have to be a socket at the installation site when using a PoE compatible network switch. This can lead to drastically reduced installation costs if a system consists of several DCP units.

The MM-4D/IN has comprehensive DSP functions on board that can be controlled by software on a laptop, tablet computer, or even smartphone. Depending on the amount of controls the user should have access to, you can choose between two types of remote control software:

• Tascam DCP Connect: Designed for system integrators/managers who handle the configuration and settings of an entire system.
• Tascam EZ Connect: Designed for end-users, allowing them to use simple controls. The administrator can specify which controls are accessible.

Apart from its internal routing capabilities, audio from the MM-4D/IN can be assigned to other devices via the Dante Controller, a configuration software used to manage all the audio devices in a Dante network. Our DCP models are also compatible with Dante Domain Manager which features security functions and enables the use of wide-area networks and subnets. This helps to easily integrate the Dante Compact Processor Series into already established network infrastructures. And with the AES67 mode, even connection to Ravenna and similar AES67 networks is possible.
