Tascam IF-AN16/OUT – 16-Channel Analog Output Interface Card for DA-6400

Product Overview

The TASCAM IF-AN16/OUT is a 16-channel analog output expansion card for the DA-6400, DA-6400dp, and Sonicview series, providing 16 channels of balanced line-level analog output via two D-Sub 25-pin connectors. It is the primary solution for engineers who need to return DA-6400 playback to an analog console, monitor system, or outboard processing chain without a separate DAC unit. The card installs in one of the DA-6400's two rear expansion slots and is sold separately.

Product Description

The IF-AN16/OUT converts up to 16 channels of digital audio from the DA-6400 or Sonicview to balanced analog line-level signals, making multitrack playback directly addressable to analog consoles, amplifiers, and outboard equipment. Two D-Sub 25-pin output connectors on the card's rear bracket are compatible with standard DB25-to-XLR or DB25-to-TRS breakout cables for connection to any analog I/O format. With one slot holding an IF-AN16/OUT and the second holding a Dante or MADI card, engineers have simultaneous analog playback and digital network I/O from a single DA-6400. The card is also compatible with the Sonicview digital recording console series for additional analog output expansion in that platform. The IF-AN16/OUT is available at Creation Networks alongside compatible DA-6400 expansion cards.
