DM4800 Available For Parts

[Bus Buster]

I’m very sad to say my DM4800 is dead, most likely to a circuit board failure. I very recently added the 2Seemy video card output so it would be future-proof against display problems. It also has 2 analog IO cards and 1 ADAT IO card. I’ve accepted the fact that it’s too old to invest any more into it. If anyone is interested in having it for parts, please contact me and we can discuss a price that’s fair. I’m in the Bay Area in CA.

@Bus Buster All the best to you and yours in 2025. Have you considered what you might replace the DM with? If anything.

 

[Bus Buster]

Thanks! And you too! I'm not considering another console at the moment and I'll likely add a Presonus Quantum interface to handle roundtrip signal routing out of my DAW to the few hardware outboard devices I have. I'll use my old Mackie 16 channel for a while until I figure out what that might be replaced with. I just need line level mixing for a handful of hardware sound sources.

I’m starting to think the Tascam 2400 would be a smarter choice for my needs. I just might pull the trigger on that in the spring.

@Bus Buster Whichever path you choose, please keep us posted. Have a great weekend!

Does anyone have ideas for proper disposal of something like this? It’s a shame everything is functional except for a processing board. It reminds me of our kitchen range that was perfectly functional except for a small part that couldn’t be replaced.

@Bus Buster You might consider stripping it down and making the parts available on the used market. I am sure that some parts are always good to have as spares. Sooner or later someone is going to come asking. Just my two cents of course.

Good idea - thanks! BTW - I ended up buying a Soundcraft Signature 22 MTK 22 board.

@Bus Buster Congratulations. Enjoy the new gear. Always exciting.

I've been looking for an analog IO card. Any chance it's available??

 

[Peter Batah]

@HiFiDavid What is the model number of this IO card that you are looking for?
