The Tascam LA-40 MKIII has been primarily designed to provide matching capabilities between professional equipment and semi-professional or consumer equipment. It consists of four RCA inputs and outputs (–10 dBV, unbalanced) as well as four XLR inputs and outputs (+4 dBu/–20 dBu, balanced) which enable the user to connect for instance four tracks of a multitrack recorder (ins and outs) to a balanced mixer ensuring optimum level and impedance matching. Also, a switch matrix allows channels to be linked, utilizing the converter as a distribution amplifier for splitting signals to multiple recorders, or for multizone sound routing applications.
Switches on the bottom panel allow to select a nominal level of +4 dBu or –20 dBu for each channel and ±12 dB trim pots on the front panel make perfect level matching easy. LEDs on the front panel indicate signal presence for each channel. The LA-40 MKIII has also ground lift switches for each channel and a combined master switch to avoid ground loops.
Main Features
* 4 channels with unbalanced RCA inputs and balanced XLR outputs
* 4 channels with balanced XLR inputs and unbalanced RCA outputs
* XLR nominal level selectable between +4 dBu and –20 dBu
* Trim pots for each channel on front panel (±12 dB)
* Signal LED for each channel
* Ground lift switches for each channel and master switch
* Distribution amplifier functionality: One mono input signal can be routed to all four output channels, or one stereo input signal can be routed to two channels each (RCA to XLR and XLR to RCA)
* Internal power supply, no AC adapter needed
* 1 U rack-mountable chassis

The Apogee X-Digi-Mix expansion card allows for direct connectivity between Pro Tools Mix systems and the Rosetta 200 or Rosetta 800. The X-Digi-Mix card provides superior quality conversion to Pro-Tools Mix users without the need for an additional interface, and effectively extending the life of their Mix systems for years to come.
Features: * Standard Digidesign peripheral connector for interfacing directly to Mix Core or Farm cards. * Superclock (FSx256) output for convenient integration into existing Pro Tools configurations. * With necessary Pro Tools hardware expansion, multiple Rosetta-800s may be connected into a system. * Rosetta 800 may be used alongside an Apogee AD-8000 or Trak 2 outfitted with an AMBUS-Digi8+ card as well as any other Pro Tools Mix-compatible hardware. * Multiple slaved Rosetta 800s may lock to Word Clock or directly to the Digi-mix card for low jitter synchronization of the Pro-Tools system.
