Teac Tascam Series Model 3

Very similar sonically to the wonderful Model 5, but more compact in size. A handsome mixer that’s a pleasure to own and use.

Features include a flexible 2-band EQ, Tamura transformers and inductors on every channel, plus direct outputs per channel - ideal for use as a preamp/front end for your DAW.

Two of things we love about these mixers:

• They overdrive really well - push the signal in or ramp up the gain and you are rewarded with thick characterful textures.


• Route a signal through two channels in series (use the direct out of the first channel into the second) to get four band EQ when needed.

This mixer is supplied serviced, power supply recapped. All sliders and connections working well. Some crackle can develop, especially with lack of use. This should clear with use or with some switch cleaning spray (we recommend DeOxit).

Below is the introduction from the manual (taken from HiFiEngine.com where you can find the full manual - registration is free):

Fulfilling the needs of people with more talent than money is the fundamental premise on which TEAC Tascam Series recording gear is built.

So we designed the Model 3 to be as versatile as possible. With the right combination of features and functions for home or studio recording, PA or disco mixing.

The Model 3 just about does it all. You'll find it a surprisingly functional mixer.

It is manufactured in our professional products division, and incorporates the same design philosophy as the highly successful TEAC Tascam Series Model 10 mixing console.

Many of the parts, circuits, and production assembly procedures are the same.

Also, the design alternatives that were chosen for cost purposes were exhaustively researched and tested to avoid any compromise in performance.

Condition

Condition is very good overall. The face is clean with only minor signs of age. The end cheeks are very good with some wear around the corners and edges. Please see photos or get in touch if you require more information on condition.

Voltage Information

100v Japanese model. For customers on 220/240v supplies we will supply a high quality step-down transformer free of charge with your purchase - let us know if this is not required. On North American mains (115/120v supplies) this unit will run without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use. We do not recommend using cheap, generic Chinese mains transformers - please ask if you have any questions about powering this unit.

Tax

For sales in UK the price will include 20% VAT. Buyers elsewhere may incur VAT or other local taxes on import.
