Tascam presents the ML-4D/OUT, an exquisite output device for analog audio signals that can be used to output four Dante input signals to four line output channels. The sampling rate converters support resolutions up to 96 kHz / 24 bit and thus serve high pro-audio standards. DSP Features such as mixing functions, sound processing, dynamic processing, automatic level control, auto ducking routing, noise compensation and mute functions are also on board.

As part of the Dante Compact Processor Series, the device is Tascam suitable for Dante/AES67 networks, making it suitable for public facilities, broadcast stations, recording studios or exclusive residential environments, while additional inputs and outputs for MIkrofon/Line- or AES/EBU-SIgnale can be added and combined as desired.

Two different software applications for MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android are also included in the scope of delivery, with which the ML-4D/OUT can be remote controlled. Both the DCP Connect software for configuration and the EZ Connect app for end users are easy to use. In addition, all Dante Compact Processor Series models can be powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or an optional AC adapter. If two units are mounted side by side in a rack, it is possible to loop the power supply through to the second unit so that only one AC adapter is required.
