TASCAM ~ Teac 2A audio mixer

This audio mixer was used in conjunction with the Teac 3340S and A3440 tape decks from the 1970s. It does a fantastic job when recording or mixing live sound. I used it with the above Teac decks.

The unit has:
6 1/4" mic inputs and 6 RCA line inputs
6 RCA direct cue outputs
4 RCA line outputs and 4 RCA aux outputs
4 RCA access receive/send inserts and 4 buss inputs
Mic attenuation for each input
EQ for each channel
Assignment buttons to route signal to any of one or multiple tracks of a 4-track tape deck
Pan controls
Six input faders, one master fader

The Teac MB-20 Meter Bridge Multi-Track VU (link below) was used with the Model 2A Audio Mixer; both were used with my various Teac reel-to-reel tape decks.

TASCAM ~ Teac MB-20 meter bridge

Meant to accompany the Teac 2A mixer (link below), the MB-20 has four assignable meters for monitoring signals.

It is a 4 meter system with foldback. What this means is you can plug in a set of RCA wires on the way to something else and then a duplicate set of RCA jack are present at each input to allow you to take that same signal on to the other device.

Second it has switching for Line meter or Tape meter- that means another set of 4 cable can be plugged into it at the Tape input to meter signals directly from a tape unit. This keeps you from having to do a reroute of cables while using a tape deck.

Finally it is a Headphone amp with selected channel outputs but can also feed a monitor amp from a set of RCA.
