The TD-M8000 has five DIO (Digital In and Out) ports
that accept T-DIF connectors for the multitrack recorders. One can hookup 5 Tascam
multitrack digital machines for 40 track production and mixdown. Unlike other
digital consoles that allow you to get different formats that plug into slots in the
console, Tascam has standardized on the T-Dif format. Tascam however, makes very
inexpensive converters that convert to ADAT format and analog inputs or outputs. As a
result, it is very easy to convert to different formats for different projects and uses.
| Other DIO Connectors include: |
| Stereo Outputs (for connecting to Dat recorder) |
| Aux Send 3/4 (for connecting to a digital input of effects
device) |
| Stereo Return 6 (for connecting to the digital output of an
effects device) |
| Digital In 1-4 (for connecting to other digital source) |
