TASCAM 8 Stereo Channel Line Mixer / LM-8ST

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.

Since there two independent output busses, the users can output using different mixes. Each output buss is equipped with an XLR balanced output and RCA unbalanced output. Furthermore, the ST 2/AUX buss can be used as an AUX buss; as such, this allows the user to use the ST 2/AUX buss for sending effects (input from either buss can be used for effect return).

This mixer can be used for various applications, including stereo source selection at stores, restaurants, banquet facilities, and acoustic facilities, as well as using a microphone to make announcements and sound mixing, and even as an on-stage keyboard mixer and sub-mixer.
