Eight inputs, four subgroups, a submixer and a semi-parametric EQ, all wrapped in that unmistakable early-80s Tascam livery. Producers chase these down today not for clean transparency but for the opposite: run a mix through it and the Model 3 hands back glue, weight and a gentle analog saturation that plug-ins keep trying to fake. A summing box, a tracking desk, a character machine. Small, heavy and quietly brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 Inputs, 4 Subgroups:\u003c\/strong\u003e a full little routing matrix for tracking, submixing and summing a whole session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-Band Semi-Parametric EQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e switchable frequencies for shaping tone with a properly musical hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog Summing Glue:\u003c\/strong\u003e run stems through it for the weight and saturation everyone tries to fake in the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Submixer:\u003c\/strong\u003e fold extra sources in without running out of channels mid-session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRCA Buss Routing:\u003c\/strong\u003e patch and re-patch the busses for custom signal paths and creative routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Tascam Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e heavy metal chassis and that beige 80s charm that looks great on any desk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter, Not Clean:\u003c\/strong\u003e the whole point.
