Version 1.20 Software For DM-3200 Digital Console

January 23, 2006

TASCAM's successful new digital console, the DM-3200, has been updated to version 1.20 for an impressive list of additions and enhancements. The IF-FW/DM FireWire card and IF-SM/DM Surround Monitoring card are now supported, turning the console into a complete system for computer recording and surround mixing. Cascade support has also been added — using the built-in cascade port — as well as MIDI Machine Control, GPI and a list of other enhancements.

"The DM-3200 has been a huge success, proving that the need for thoughtfully integrated digital consoles is alive and well," says Jim Bailey, Product Development Manager for TASCAM. "The DM-3200 is a perfect fit for a wide variety of applications including professional/project studios, post production, sound reinforcement and fixed installations. The enhancements provided by this new update make the DM-3200 an incredible value. The combination of the DM-3200 and the FireWire interface card turn the DM-3200 into the ultimate computer audio interface, with built-in effects, cue mixing, automation and everything else needed for professional recording to a computer."
