TASCAM LA-40MKIII

Bidirectional conversion between balanced and unbalanced signals

The TASCAM LA-40MKIII is a professional 4-channel bidirectional line converter designed to integrate equipment with balanced and unbalanced connections within the same installation. It features four channels for converting unbalanced RCA signals to balanced XLR and another four for performing the reverse process from XLR to RCA.

It is especially practical in studios, audiovisual installations, broadcast facilities, and professional racks where consumer or semi-professional devices coexist with equipment operating at professional line levels.

What makes the TASCAM LA-40MKIII special?

Unlike a converter that works in only one direction, the LA-40MKIII allows you to perform conversions in both directions simultaneously. For example, you can send the RCA output of a player to a professional mixing console via XLR while converting other XLR signals from the system to feed equipment with RCA inputs.

It can also function as an audio distribution amplifier thanks to its Input Link functions, allowing you to distribute the same source to different outputs. Each channel features a signal presence indicator and trim adjustment, facilitating both system calibration and monitoring.

Individual Ground Lift controls and the global All Lift function help resolve potential ground loop issues. The entire system comes in a 19" rack chassis and is only one unit high.

A professional and flexible solution for connecting, adapting, and distributing signals between balanced equipment and
