tascam TM-D1000 User Guide
1 - TM-D1000 Operations Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the TM-D1000.
This high-quality digital mixing console allows you
to produce crystal-clear multitrack recordings and to
mix them to a digital stereo mastering machine.
We do not expect you to read the Reference Manual
from cover to cover, but if you take the time to read
through this Operations Manual, this will be repaid
in terms of future familiarity with the unit.
Since the TM-D1000 is a complex unit, with many
software features that are not immediately visible
from the front panel, we suggest, however, that you
make yourself familiar with at least the contents of
the main reference manual, so that you can find the
answers you need when you have questions.

1.2 TM-D1000 features
Among other features, the TM-D1000 includes:
• Eight analog inputs, capable of accepting input
from a variety of sources, from professional line
level to standard dynamic microphones. Four of
these inputs are fitted with TRS insert points for
connecting external processors, etc.
• Eight digital inputs and outputs in TDIF-1 format,
which use the same connector as the eight-channel
I/O of a TDIF-1 recorder.
• One stereo digital input and two stereo digital outputs with both AES/EBU and SPDIF connectors,
allowing digital mastering. The input and output
word length can be selected as 16, 20 or 24 bits.
• Each channel, whether input or tape return, is
equipped with 3-band equalization and effect sends
as well as routing capabilities.
• Four group busses, which can also be used as auxiliary busses.
• Instant “repatching” of the console into various
modes, depending on the needs of the project at the
time.
• Internal digital effect units, which may be used as
stereo effect processors mono dynamic processors.
• Full input and output facilities, often in both analog
and digital formats, from busses, groups, as well as
full monitoring facilities through either headphones or a amplifier/speaker combination and
channel insert facilities.
WARNING
The TM-D1000 uses an external AC adapter.
Make sure that the voltage marked on the
TASCAM PS-D1000 adapter is the same as
your local power supply. Consult y our dealer if
it is not.
Never attempt to use the TM-D1000 with any
AC adapter other than the TASCAM PSD1000 adapter specifically provided for use
with the TM-D1000.
As with all audio equipment, connections
should always be made with the po wer turned
off.
CAUTION
The bottom panel of the TM-D1000 co vers the
heat sink for the electronic components. This
panel can become significantly hotter than the
surrounding environment. This is to be
expected in everyday operation, and should
not be a cause for concern.
After using the TM-D1000 for extended periods of time, take care when picking up or
moving the TM-D1000, and do not touch the
heat sink. We suggest that you leave the TMD1000 to cool for a little while bef ore moving it
or putting it away.
Also for this reason, you should not remove
the feet on the bottom panel of the TMD1000, or, if you must remove the feet for
whatever reason, never stand the TM-D1000
directly on a working surface. Always allow an
air gap between the bottom panel of the TMD1000 and the working surface by standing
the TM-D1000 on books or similar supports
placed under each side of the mixer.
These features mean that while the TM-D1000 is primarily intended for multitrack recording purposes, it
can also be used effectiv ely for sound reinforcement,
as a digital sub-mixer, or in broadcast applications.
1.3 Setting up your TM-D1000
Before you start to set up your TM-D1000, make
sure that you have a clear working area and suf ficient
space to set out and connect all your equipment.
1.3.1Input channels 1–8
The XLR and π-inch microphone/line inputs for
channels 1 through 4 are balanced. Refer to the printing on the TM-D1000 itself for details of how these
connectors are wired. The XLR connectors can
accept levels from –65 dBu to –15 dBu, and the TRS
π-inch jacks on channels 1 through 4 accept signals
from –40 dBu to +10 dBu. The unbalanced π-inch
connectors for channels 5 through 8 accept levels
from –50 dBu to 0 dBu.
TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual

1 - TM-D1000 Operations Manual
WARNING
Although it is possible to connect equipment
using the XLR and phone connectors at the
same time to input channels 1 through 4, we
do not recommend that you do this. There is a
risk of damage to the microphone, due to signals received at the phone jack being retransmitted to the XLR jack.
1.3.2PHANTOM (+48V)
The PHANTOM power switch by the XLR jack of
channel 4 provides phantom power at +48 V to the
XLR jacks of channels 1 through 4 when switched
on.
Remember to turn down the monitor output volume
when turning this switch on or off.
1.3.3INSERTs
Use standard ‘Y’ cables such as TASCAM PW-4Y or
PW-2Y cables to connect unbalanced equipment at
the insert point for channels 1 through 4 (see also
“External insert points” on page 20).
1.3.4EXT INPUTs
1.3.6GROUP OUTPUTS/AUX SENDS
These connectors serve a dual function, depending
on the console mode currently selected. The pseudobalanced π-inch jacks output signals at –2 dBu, and
the RCA connectors at a level of –10 dBV. Balanced
or unbalanced jack plugs can be used here.
See “Buss functions” on page 10 for details of how
these jacks serve as both aux and group outputs.
1.3.7MONITOR OUTPUT
The balanced π-inch jacks output a signal to the
monitoring amplifier at +4 dBu. Although these are
balanced outputs, unbalanced jacks can be used to
connect an amplifier with unbalanced inputs. See
“Monitoring, etc.” on page 21 for details of monitoring operations.
NOTE
If you connect a hi-fi amplifier to these jacks,
turn down the monitor level control. The level
of the TM-D1000’ s
higher than that expected by a hi-fi amplifier,
and too high an output level may result in distorted sound.
MONITOR OUTPUT
jacks is
The balanced π-inch jacks accept signals at professional +4 dBu levels, and the RCA connectors accept
signals at the lower –10 dBV levels.
1.3.5STEREO OUTPUTS
The analog stereo outputs are at +4 dBu (balanced π-
inch jacks) and –10 dBV (RCA connectors).
Please read and take careful note of the following, to
avoid possible damage to the internal circuits of the
TM-D1000.
WARNING
These jacks provide balanced output signals.
Do not use mono jack plugs with these output
jacks. If you do, a short will occur to the cold
(–) terminal of the TM-D1000 internal amplifier, and damage may occur.
If you have no choice but to use unbalanced
equipment, always use a TRS-type (stereo)
jack plug, and wire the ground to the sleeve,
and the signal to the tip, leaving the ring
unconnected. This will prevent any short circuits to the internal amplifiers.
1.3.8FOOT SW (REMOTE CONT)
A standard footswitch such as the TASCAM RC-30P
may be connected and set up to serve a variety of
functions.
1.3.9WORD SYNC
These RCA connectors are used to take the word
clock from and to other digital audio equipment. You
should use these connectors if the TM-D1000 should
receive a word clock signal from an external source,
or if it should act as the word clock master in a digital audio setup.
WARNING
There should never be more than one word
clock signal in a digital audio system. If there
are not, at worst, damage may occur to
speakers, amplifiers, etc. as a result of highfrequency noise generated by word clock
incompatibilities. See “Word synchronization”
on page 16 for a brief explanation of word
clocks as they apply to the TM-D1000.

1.3.10MIDI IN & OUT
These MIDI connectors are used for control by an
external sequencer, etc., as well as for receiving
MIDI timecode and transmitting MIDI Machine
Control commands to external equipment.
See “MIDI Machine control” on page 29, “Locations” on page 30 and “MIDI control of the TMD1000” on page 32 for further details of MIDI functions and the TM-D1000.
1.3.11DIGITAL OUTPUTS
There are two pairs of digital outputs provided: A
and
B. Each pair outputs the digital audio through
both an XLR and an RCA coaxial connector.
1.3.12DIGITAL INPUTS
Digital audio may be received through either the
XLR or RCA coaxial input of this digital audio input.
1.3.13TDIF-1 A
This 25-pin D-sub connector is used to connect eight
input and eight output digital audio channels from
and to a DTRS recorder, or other suitably-equipped
digital audio multitrack device.
NOTE
When making TDIF-1 connections between
units, you must alw ays use genuine TASCAM
cables, or TASCAM-approved cables.
Although these cables appear similar to certain types of computer cables and use similar
connectors, the cables themselves are very
different, and the diff erent electrical characteristics of the cables can cause damage to the
equipment connected with the wrong cables.
If the use of cables other than TASCAM
cables causes or results in damage, the warranty is voided.

2 - The TM-D1000 menu system
The operational “heart” of the TM-D1000 is the
menu system. Using this system, you can set up common channel parameters, such as equalization, etc.
and also the more general global settings, such as
console configuration.
The menu system may be described in the following
way:
• At the “top” level are the main menus, such as the
Option menu, channel AUX and EQ menus.
• Below these menus there may be sub-menus, for
instance, in the Option menu, there are Setup,
Effect and MIDI sub-menus.
• Within a sub-menu, there may be further submenus, or parameters.
• If there is only one parameter shown on the screen
whose value is to be edited, the
is used to change the value, and the
used to confirm this change.
• If there are two or more parameters shown on the
screen whose values may be edited, the data editing knobs are used to change the values (see “Data
editing knobs” on page 6).
The controls which are used to navigate and change
the values within the menu system are described
below:

4 - Buss functions
As we mentioned briefly earlier, the busses of the
TM-D1000 can be switched internally into different
configurations, depending on the current needs of the
project.
These configurations may be stored in two convenient main user modes; the recording and mixdown
modes (REC and MIX). These are shown by the
MODE indicators to the left of the display screen.
When a change is made between the REC and MIX
modes, the settings of the mode from which the
change is being made (EQ settings, pan settings,
fader and aux send settings, etc., as well as the
Option settings for MODE, Effect and Setup) are
stored in memory. When the TM-D1000 is next
switched into this mode, these settings are then
recalled automatically.
This allows a fast change between two different settings of the mixer for different purposes (e.g. if you
are in the middle of a mix session but decide to rerecord a track, changing from MIX to REC will
restore the last settings when the mixer was in MIX
mode.

tings, etc.) will be restored to the factory
settings.

This action cannot be undone. If you have second
thoughts about re-initializing all the data, press
the ESCAPE key instead of pressing the
ENTER key for the second time.
4.1 Default REC mode
Used in recording, the default setting of the REC
mode uses the stereo with four group buss configuration (see below).
The internal effect processors are set as mono
dynamics processors for channel processing. Channels may be assigned to any combination of: the stereo buss, groups 1-2, and groups 3-4.
The L-R stereo buss is used as a monitor buss here–
the left and right channels of the stereo buss cannot
be routed to tape tracks. If an input channel is not
assigned to the L-R stereo buss, it will not appear in
the monitor mix when you have the
SELECT key pressed.
L-R MONITOR
In these descriptions, we talk about the
“default” settings. These are the settings
made when the TM-D1000 leaves the factory.
If you want to return the TM-D1000 to these
default settings at any time , you should follow
the procedure described below.

Operating Tip
When you are overdubbing with some previously recorded tracks, these trac ks are routed
through input channels 9 through 16. If you do
not assign these tracks to the L-R stereo
buss, you will not be able to monitor them.
NOTE
The

selection does not light
in this default mode (there are no aux send
busses selected).
4.2 Default MIX mode
The default MIX mode, as its name suggests, is used
in mixdown. In the default setting of the MIX mode,
all input channels (1 through 16) are assigned to the
stereo buss. Channels may not be assigned to any
group busses.

4.4 Buss configurations
You can set the functions of the four busses controlled by the
the left of the stereo master fader). The way in which
these are configured also affects the number as well
as the assignment and function of the internal effect
processors.
Depending on the configuration selected, these faders are used to control the output groups or the aux
sends and the channel panpots also have different
effects, depending on the selected configuration. The
following configurations are available:

The four group/aux busses are divided into one stereo aux send (1-2) and two mono

Group/aux busses 1 and 2 are assigned as two mono aux sends, and 3 and 4 are

4.5 Where do the busses go?
As you can see from the above description, the L-R
stereo buss is not used for recording in the REC
modes. It goes straight out to the
(analog or digital) and to the
leled to the headphone output). You should therefore
use it as a monitor or cue buss when recording.
The behavior of the group outputs depends on the
number of group outputs which are being used in the
currently-selected buss function.

Groups are always routed through to the TDIF-1 output connector; the exact routing pattern is described
here.
• If both sets of groups (1-2 and 3-4) are in use, these
are assigned to the TDIF-1 output busses with the
same numbers, and are also “doubled” to 5-6 and
7-8 respectively.
• If only one set of groups is in use, it is always
group 3-4. This pair of groups is routed to all
TDIF-1 output busses, with four “copies” of this
pair going to 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8.
These routing patterns are fixed, and cannot be
changed.
