Description

The TASCAM LA-40MKIII connects balanced professional audio equipment with unbalanced devices in studios, broadcast systems and installed AV racks. It provides four channels of conversion in each direction.

Features

Four channels of unbalanced-to-balanced conversion
Four channels of balanced-to-unbalanced conversion
RCA unbalanced and XLR balanced connections
Per-channel trim adjustment over a +/-12 dB range
Signal-presence LED indicators
Individual and global ground-lift switches
1U rack-mount chassis

Why We Like This

Its input-linking matrix lets an installer distribute one source to several destinations without adding a separate distribution amplifier.

FAQs

Q: Can it convert signals in both directions?
A: Yes. It has four unbalanced-to-balanced channels and four balanced-to-unbalanced channels, with RCA and XLR connections.

Q: Which operating levels can I match?
A: The unbalanced inputs and outputs use a nominal -10 dBV level. The balanced operating level is selectable between +4 dBu and -20 dBu.

Q: What mains power does it require?
A: The specified power requirement is 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with 6 W power consumption.
