Specifications cover formats, channels, input/output ratings, connectors, transmission protocol, Ethernet standard, cables, analog IN connectors, input levels, impedance, power, power consumption, dimensions, weight, and operating temperature range. The package includes the MM - 4D/IN - X converter, surface rack mountable angles, and a user manual.
Using the Tascam MM - 4D/IN - X is easy. First, connect your analog microphones or line sources to the XLR connectors on the unit. Make sure to set the appropriate gain levels, and you can even control the mic gain remotely if needed. Connect the unit to your network using a category 5e or faster STP cable through the RJ - 45 connector. If you're using PoE, you don't need an additional power supply, but you can also use the TASCAM PS - P1220E AC adapter if you prefer. Once connected, the unit will be ready to integrate into your Dante system. You can use the onboard DSP functions to adjust the audio according to your needs. The scene preset function is really handy - you can save up to 50 different settings for different situations. For maintenance, keep the unit in a clean and dry environment. The operating temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C. Check the LAN/Dante connection and sample rate indicators regularly to make sure everything is working properly. Also, pay attention to the signal indicators to monitor the line input signals. If you need to change the reference level, you can do it via remote control. When installing, you can use the surface rack mountable angles for under - desk installation to save space.
