Tascam M-35 - Introduction and Audio Concepts; Introduction to the Model 35

IN'TRODUCTION T0 THE MODEL 35
The Model 35 is an audio mixing console design-
ed to satisfy the requirements of modern multi-
channel recording. Many of the auxiliary mixing
systems needed are built-in and can be re-routed
to do more than one job. Fast, convenient and
complete operation with
4- or 8-track recorders
can usually be accomplished without re-patching.
However, the process of multichannel recording
is constantly changing, growing more complex as
an art with each advance in technology. Your
signal processing needs may
require a unique
arrangement of subsystems. No console has ever
been built so large and complete in
its routing
that it could
solve every imaginable problem
with one button. Someone
will always be able to
come up with that unusual situation requiring
"just one more mix". In order to copewith
thesep
unpredictable requirements, patch points are
provided throughout
al1 signal pathways on the
M -35.
As our mixing console becomes more flexible,
the amount of
time needed to understand the
available function increases
as well. The main
signal path from mic in to line out is still fairly
straightforward. The requirements
have not
changed much
since the days of "mono", but the
routing for effects sends,
cue feeds, and stereo
monitoring
can be hard to visualize. 'rhe beginner
often overlooks the
significance of connections
that would be immediately obvious to the
expe-
rienced recording engineer. If you expect to find
that "extra rnix" quickly, you must be prepared
to study the layout of the M -35 thoroughly.
