Tascam LM-8ST

The TASCAM LM-8ST is a compact yet powerful 8-channel stereo line mixer designed for demanding audio setups in live performance, commercial installations, and studio sub-mixing. Housed in a single-rack unit, it delivers professional-level flexibility with eight stereo TRS balanced inputs-each with individual level controls and switchable -10dB/+4dB sensitivity-alongside a dedicated mic input with front-panel trim control for announcements or vocal monitoring.

Perfect for venues, houses of worship, broadcast environments, or on-stage keyboard rigs, the LM-8ST features dual stereo output busses for creating separate mixes. Each output includes both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors. A built-in stereo cascade loop allows easy expansion when more channels are needed, while the headphone monitoring section includes both 1/4" and 1/8" jacks. From its rugged build to intuitive layout, the LM-8ST is built to simplify complex routing without sacrificing sound quality or reliability.

• 8 Stereo Input Channels: Balanced 1/4" TRS inputs per channel with "10/+4dB level switch for flexible source handling.

• Mic Input with Trim Control: XLR mic input on Channel 1 for announcements or single mic setups-ideal for stage or PA use.

• Dual Stereo Output Busses: Two independent mix busses (ST1 and ST2/AUX) with XLR and RCA outputs to route separate mixes.

• Flexible Routing Options: Each channel can be routed to ST1 or ST2/AUX, either pre- or post-fader-great for sub-mixing or effects sends.

• Headphone Monitoring: Dedicated 1/4" and 1/8" headphone outputs with individual level control for convenient monitoring.

• Cascade Ready: Buss input/output lets you expand the system by connecting multiple LM-8ST units.

• Visual Metering: Every input channel features a 2-segment LED level meter for quick signal checks.

• Compact and Rack-Ready: 1U rackmount design makes it ideal for installations, live rigs, or studio submixing.
