Tascam DM-3200

The DM-3200 is a well-equipped 48-channel professional digital console. It offers sixteen busses, eight auxes, dynamics and effects, automation via motorised faders and USB connectivity. Its user interface includes 16 rotary encoders with LED indicators to display mixer settings at a glance. Up to 6.1 surround panning is available, and an optional surround monitoring interface card offers multi-channel monitor and downmix capabilities.

When used with our optional FireWire interface card, the DM-3200 becomes a highly powerful all-in-one computer interface, control surface and mixing console, making it ideal for professional recording, post-production, film scoring and installation applications.
