I F -F W /DM Fi r eWi r e a u dio ca r d fo r
TASCAM mixers. It is designed to provide
audio and MIDI interfacing between your
TASCAM mixer and your computer based
DAW, essentially turning your TASCAM
mixer into a FireWire audio/MIDI interface.
Please take some time to look through this
Owner’s Manual and familiarize yourself
with the IF-FW/DM’s features, setup and
operation. We suggest you pay particular
attention to the setup notes for your com-
puter platform of choice (Mac or PC). You
may also need to refer to your software’s
documentation for a clear understanding of
how to set up an audio/MIDI interface from
within your software. Your experience with
the IF-FW/DM will be greatly enhanced by a
good working knowledge of your audio software.

OInstallation
Installing the IF-FW/DM
1. Remove the five screws holding the blank
plate or card currently installed in Slot 1
then remove the plate or card.
2. Insert the IF-FW/DM into Slot 1, making sure that the card edges slide into the
white plastic guide inside Slot 1. Push it
all the way in until it clicks and the card
back plate is flush with the mixer’s back
panel. Excessive force is not required - if
it does not click in easily, remove it and
start again with attention to the guides.
3. Replace the five screws to hold the card in
place.
NOTE
• The IF-FW/DM must be installed in to the
mixer’s Slot 1. It will not function in Slot 2.
• The following installation must be done with
the mixer’s power OFF and disconnected.
There is a series of jumpers on the IF-FW/
DM that set its operating mode. These jumpers must be in the correct position to operate
with a DM-3200 or DM-24, which communicate with the IF-FW/DM via different
operating modes.
Early IF-FW/DM cards shipped configured
for the DM-24. From the time of DM-3200
software version 1.20 availability, IF-FW/
DM cards began shipping configured for the
DM-3200.
Please confirm your card’s configuration
with the following pictures and instructions
then make any necessary changes before
installing the IF-FW/DM into your mixer.
NOTE
• The IF-FW/DM will not function if incor-
rectly configured for your mixer. Installing
an incorrectly configured card will not harm
anything.
• The IF-FW/DM must be installed in either
mixer’s Slot 1. It will not function in Slot 2.
Use commonly available needle-nose pliers
to carefully change the configuration of the
card as shown.
