TASCAM FW-1082 FireWire

Overview

Thank you for choosing the TASCAM FW-1082. We have designed the FW-1082 to be an all-in-one solution for your computer-based digital audio workstation system. Its integrated design incorporates a high resolution professional multi-channel audio interface and integrated zero-latency input monitor mixer, a 2 x 2 MIDI interface, and a highly programmable, ergonomically designed control surface for your audio software.

Software application notes

Since much of the FW-1082’s operation pertains directly to your DAW software, TASCAM has prepared a series of application notes on using the FW- 1082 with a number of different DAW programs. These Application Notes are included on the FW- 1082 CD-ROM, and are available online in PDF format on the TASCAM Web site.

TRIM controls Analog level controls for the input level of the mic (XLR) input 1 through 4, and line inputs 1 through 8. Their function is the same regardless of the control surface mode selected. Note that the best signal-to-noise ratios are achieved by maximizing the level of analog inputs at the A/D converters. For the mic and line inputs of the FW-1082, the trim controls provide the means for optimizing these levels.

Channel SOLO keys – In COMPUTER mode, these keys solo their respective channels, while muting the audio on all other channels in the host application. Any number of channels can be soloed simultaneously. Note that in COMPUTER mode, the operation of the solo function is dictated by the host application. For more information please refer to the Application Notes for your DAW software application.

Line inputs and inserts

LINE IN jacks Balanced line level (+4 dBu) ¼” TRS (tip = hot, ring = cold, sleeve = ground) analog inputs. Inputs 1 through 4 are wired in parallel with their associated mic inputs. Only connect a line source or a microphone to these pairs of inputs. Do not connect a line source and a microphone to the same input pair at the same time.
