Aviom Pro16 A-Net Interface Card

DM-3200/DM-4800 requirements

In order to use the IF-AV/DM card, the DM-4800/DM-3200 must use software version 1.70 or later. The mixer cannot recognize the IF-AV/DM card when using earlier versions.

Check the TASCAM website (http://www.tascam.com/) for the latest DM-4800/DM-3200 software and download the TFI update file.

Install TMCompanion, which is included on the CD-ROM included with the DM-4800/DM-3200, on the computer that you are using. Launch TMCompanion and use the TFI update file to upgrade the software version used by the DM-4800/DM-3200.

Installation

NOTE

•DM-3200: Install the IF-AV/DM in mixer slot 1. It will not function in slot 2.

•DM-4800: Install the IF-AV/DM in mixer slot 1 or 3. It will not function in slot 2 or 4.

•Turn the mixer power OFF before beginning installation.

1Remove the five screws from the cover panel of the slot where you want to install the IF-AV/DM card (slot 1 on a DM-3200, slot 1 or 3 on a DM-4800), and then remove the panel. (If that slot already contains a card, remove the card.)

2Insert the IF-AV/DM card into the slot. Insert the card completely, aligning its edges with the white guidelines on the inside of the slot. Push the card in until it clicks into place and its backplate is even with the back of the mixer. Do not, however, push the card too hard. If you are having difficulty inserting it properly, pull it out once and try again.

3Use the five screws that you removed earlier or the five screws included with this card to fix the card in place.

4Turn the mixer’s power ON, and open the DIGITAL screen (with the ALT key indicator lit, press screen mode selection key 2). Select the SLOT tab (SLOT

1-2 or SLOT 3-4 for the DM-4800), and confirm that the unit recognizes the installed card. If a “No Card” message appears, the card might not have been inserted properly or the screws might not be tight enough.

Compatibility

The IF-AV/DM interface card, when installed and properly configured, is compatible with the following Aviom Pro16 Series products:

•• A-16II Personal Mixer (the original A-16 is not supported)

•• A-16R rack-mounted Personal Mixer
