A favourite here at Soundgas for a reason. Direct outs added to all channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA compact vintage console with serious studio credentials, the Tascam M-208 is an 8-channel analogue mixer that punches well above its size. Built in the golden era of Tascam gear, it’s known for warm, musical EQ and quality preamps; it will add life to synths, drum machines, and guitars.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied serviced including recapping of power supply and cleaning of all pots, sliders and switches. Defective parts are replaced with original spec parts from another donor mixer. Some crackly may be possible after a period of not being used but this should clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee photos of the top and rear panels for information on the functions and connections available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSound-wise these are, as you might expect from their era and high quality manufacture, great. Warmth and character are instantly added to whatever you put through, the overdriven sound is lovely, and the 4-band EQ gives excellent control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDIRECT OUT MOD:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe add Direct Outs on all channels. The 8x Tape In RCA sockets you see in the photos will be replaced with 1\/4? jack sockets for the outputs. They're post-fader (so post Pre\/EQ), effectively parallel to the pan pot and effect bus control. This means you get the benefit of the level off the post fader op-amp-less likely to affect the overall bus output, and a more user friendly level out of the direct outs. Plus, you get the bonus of being able to drive both the Pre op-amp, and the Bus op-amp  to get a harder driven signal if that's what you're into. (It's also where the M-30 and Model 3's direct out comes from, so will react similarly).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the XLR outputs on these are set up for US pin configuration and cannot be switched. For UK\/EU use you will need six XLR pin hot switchers. Let us know if you need assistance sourcing these. They are not expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStock photo used, full set of photos on the way. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soundgas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63833615565177,"sku":"320161","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7796\/8739\/files\/Tascam_M_208_320161.png?v=1782403256","url":"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/products\/tascam-m-208-with-direct-out-mod-for-sale-320161","provider":"Soundgas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
