The TL-Audio M-4 40-Channel Tube Console is a professional recording console that implements TL-Audio's valve technology and warm sound. The console is available in 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 channel frames and is ideal for the professional and project studio alike.
This 40-channel chassis features valve preamplifiers on every input channel with balanced microphone and line inputs, send/return inserts and direct output to multitrack recorders. The direct outputs are individually switchable between +4 and -10dBu and optional expansion slots are provided for 24-bit/96kHz and ADAT digital outputs. A four-band EQ section delivers professional control over signal contour and a bypass switch is provided for added convenience.
The TL-Audio M-4 delivers the feel and sound expected of a high quality analog console while numerous tube stages deliver the "big-studio" warmth to home and professional project studios.
