Accessory Products
The TASCAM MM-RC is a dedicated remote control unit designed specially for use with the MMR-8
and the MMP-16 sixteen-channel player unit. It connects directly to the UI/B board on the MMR back
panel and allows control of any combination of up to 100 MMR-8 or MMP-16 units.
The TASCAM MMU-16 is a multi-segment digital meter unit which can display sixteen channels of
audio level information. Two connectors on the back of the MMU-16 allow it to be connected to one or
two MMR-8 units, or an MMP-16 sixteen channel player. The MMU-16 can also be connected to the
MM-RC for displaying detailed level information for the MMR-8 or MMP-16 unit being accessed by the
MM-RC. The MMU-16 comes with standard rack ears for mounting in a standard 19” equipment rack
and also with mounting brackets for attaching the unit to an MM-RC.
The TimeLine Lynx Keyboard Control Unit (KCU) can function directly as a remote controller for up to
six MMR-8s without the use of dedicated Lynx-2 modules, since the MMR-8 contains the functional
equivalent of an integrated Lynx-2 synchronizer. Optionally, Lynx-2 modules can also be connected to
the Lynx port of the MMR so that other transports connected to the Lynx bus may also be controlled from
a Lynx KCU connected to the MMR-8. TimeLine offers a special software version for the Lynx KCU
(KCU 900 software) which includes special MMR support for some editing and event slip commands.
Other remote controllers can also be used for controlling the transport and track arm functions of the
MMR-8 through the two Parallel ports or via Sony P2 protocol through the 9-pin serial Editor port.
