PRODUCT OVERVIEW

LM-8ST

Technical Information

INTRODUCTION

The TASCAM LM-8ST is a 1-space rackmountable
line mixer for installation, studio submixing, key­boardists or anyone looking for a great-sounding
mix.

Eight pairs of balanced 1/4” TRS inputs - switch­able from +4 or -10dB - can be bussed to a pair
of XLR balanced outputs, labeled ST1 and ST2/
AUX. Pre or post-fader bussing is available for the
alternate buss, and master output level controls
and metering keep signals under control. A micro­phone input is also provided for announcements or
performance.

Packed with high-quality audio components, the
TASCAM LM-8ST is perfect for any live performance
or installation.
