Tascam Comprehensive Guide to DM-3200 EQ Settings and Monitoring Techniques

Making EQ settings

The channel modules from 1 through 32 have full 4-band parametric EQ.

You can see the numerical values of the set- tings, as well as a frequency response curve, when you press the MODULE key, followed by the POD 2 key under the display.

Use a channelʼs SEL key to select the channel you want to edit.

Press the EQ encoder mode key (this is the fourth key down in the

ENCODER group.

The encoders above the

channel modules act as EQ controls, allowing the control of gain, fre-

quency, Q (width) and the type of filter for each of the four EQ bands.

As you adjust these controls, the indica- tors around the encoders light to give an

indication of the current setting, and the display also shows the current EQ re-

sponse curve.

Use the EQ/DYN

key to the left of

the card slot to turn EQ for the module on (EQ indicator is lit) and off (EQ in-

dicator is unlit).

Use the cursor keys to highlight the individual band switches, and the ENTER key to turn individual EQ bands on and off.

Setting up and using monitoring

The control room outputs are +4 dBu balanced XLR outputs, and the stu- dio outputs are –10 dBV unbalanced RCA jacks. The studio feed can be separately to that of the control

room.

There are four keys allowing selec-

tion of the control room feed. The

first is hard-wired to the STEREO

buss, but the others may be selected

using the MONITOR screen.

Press the MONI- TOR key (with the ALT indicator lit) to make the MONITOR screen appear (if it

does not, press the POD 2 switch).

Use the cursor keys and the wheel to select the sources for the three assignable monitor selection keys (from individual or paired aux sends or busses, the digital inputs, the analog 2-track input or the oscillator).

The studio outputs can be set to mirror the control room (From CONTROL ROOM) or use pairs of busses, or aux sends, digital in- puts or the analog 2-track inputs. Adjust the levels with the CONTROL ROOM controls (the talkback microphone is also there). The MONO, DIM, TO SLATE and TO STUDIO keys below the selection keys are “smart” keys (push and release to latch, push and hold as non-latching) and control talkback routing, etc.

»DM-3200 Quick Reference

Introduction

Use this guide as a quick reference to a few of the more com- monly used functions of the DM-3200.

For full details of the functions described here and the full description of all functions, consult the Ownerʼs Manual.

Routing inputs

To route the MIC/LINE inputs, digital inputs, effect returns, etc. to channel modules, press the ROUTING

key:

When youʼve done this, use the POD 3

encoder (under the screen) to choose the

destination channels (or dynamic trig-

gers).

Use the POD 4 encoder to choose the

source: mic/line inputs, TDIF and ADAT

digital inputs, assignable returns, and ef-

fect returns, etc. as well as any installed

option cards.

Use the cursor keys to navigate around the input slots (high- lighted in the screen below), to the left of the destination.

Note that channels 1 through 32 have two switchable inputs:

input and return, similar to traditional analog recording mix- ing consoles.

These can be “flipped” using the on-screen SOURCE INVERT but- ton at the bottom right of the display.

✒See section 4, “Routing and Assignment” of the Ownerʼs Manual.
