Optional Accessories for the TM-D1000

RM-D1000- Rack Ears for TM-D1000

Rack ears for the TM-D1000. FYI- The black wrist rest can come off of the TM-D1000 to save space.

 FX-D1000- Digital Effects Card

This card essentially doubles the internal effects capability of the TM-D1000, adding 4 more processing slots (making it a total of 8.) You will need version 1.18 or later to install and use the card. If you need a system update, it is available free of charge from TASCAM.

 IF-TD1000- Digital I/O Expansion Card

 This card adds a second TDIF port, a digital in and out on both SPDIF and AES/EBU, and a sample rate converter. With this card, you can feed every channel with digital information, using 16 channels on TDIF, three stereo digital outs and two stereo digital ins. The IF-TD1000 makes the TM-D1000 more than just a great multitrack board… it also becomes an amazing digital router! You will need version 1.18 or later to install and use the card. If you don’t have a system, it is available free of charge from TASCAM.

MA-AD8-8 Channel Digital Mic Pre-amp

The MA-AD8 has 8 high-quality mic pre-amps with digital audio converters. Each mic pre has a gain control, phantom power and a pad. All the signals are converted to digital, and sent through a TDIF line. There are 2 TDIF ports on the unit, allowing a cascading of units.

The MA-AD8 has a multitude of applications. One is to simply add more analog inputs to the TM-D1000. With this, it becomes a powerful 16 channel live mixer. In the recording environment, it can add more analog ins for a large scale recording without losing the TDIF port for the multitrack. ( The multitrack cascades through the MA-AD8’s second TDIF port.) For the club gigs, you can record 8 tracks of live audio for 1 hour and 48 minutes in 4 rack spaces with the DA-38 and the MA-AD8!

CUPW88D and CUPW88DL- TDIF Dubbing Cables

These are the model numbers for the CableUp! TDIF digital cables. The CUPW88D is 1 meter in length. The CUPW88DL is 5 meters in length.

MMC-38- MMC/MTC/SMPTE for the DA-38

The MMC-38 does a number of things for the DA-38: It converts MIDI Machine Control into TASCAM Sync, and converts the DA-38 Absolute Time Code (the time displayed on the front time counter) into both MIDI time code and the SMPTE time code. So, you get timecode without striping a tape track with timecode. The time code converter supports 24, 25, 29.97 & 30 drop and non-drop frame rates.

MMC-88- MMC/MTC/SMPTE for the DA-88

This unit is basically the same thing as the MMC-38, but designed for the DA_88. If your DA-88 does not have an SY-88 card in it, the MMC-88 will provide a lower cost alternative if the DA-88 is only going to be the master in the sync setup.

IF-TAD- Lightpipe to TDIF Converter

The IF-TAD simply converts the Lightpipe digital format to the TDIF format, converting two optical cables into one TDIF line for 2 way communication,. Again, this can do more than simply link an ADAT to the TM-D1000. It could be used to transfer ADAT tapes ADAT taped to HI-8 tapes, integrate DA-38’s with Lightpipe editors and more.

IF-AE8-8 Channel TDIF to AES/EBU Converter

This single space rack unit converts a TDIF signal into 4 stereo pairs of SPDIF in/out.

IF-DA8-8 Channel Digital (TDIF) to Analog Converter

This single space rack unit converts digital signal from the TDIF to analog for connecting analog recorders to the TM-D1000. The IF-DA8’s 24 bit converters support sample rates of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. For more involved set-ups, Word Clock In and Thru ports are available, and its balanced outputs have an adjustable maximum level of + 15 Bu , + 20 Bu, or +24 Bu. This unit also has a cascading TDIF port, so other TDIF units can be added to the line.
