Critic Reviews

Tascam Series 8p Dyna

soundonsound.com

The TASCAM SERIES 8p Dyna offers solid performance with its eight channels of mic preamps and integrated compression, making it a strong contender for expanding your recording setup. Its clean sound and generous headroom are notable, along with features like dual front-panel instrument inputs. However, the control knobs can be hard to read and there's some gain bunching, which may frustrate users seeking precise adjustments. Additionally, while the compressor is quick and functional, some may find the lack of more advanced features limiting. Overall, it's a capable tool but not without its quirks.

tapeop.com

TASCAM's SERIES 8p Dyna delivers a robust 8-channel mic preamp with impressive HDIA preamps that outperform many competitors, showcasing exceptional clarity and presence, especially on drums. The built-in "1-knob" compressors add versatility for tracking, although their sensitivity may require careful adjustment. While it excels in sound quality, minor drawbacks include the absence of input pads, which can lead to clipping with hot sources, and some Hi-Z inputs that feel darker compared to mic channels. Ultimately, this compact unit is a valuable addition for studios needing quality and expandability at an attractive price point.

RECORDING Magazine Featured Review: TASCAM SERIES 8p Dyna

recordingmag.com

The TASCAM SERIES 8p Dyna delivers a robust eight-channel preamp experience with excellent connectivity and sound quality, making it a smart choice for expanding studio setups. Its HDIA preamps shine with their transparency and low noise, though the lack of an integrated pad can hinder recording high-SPL sources. The built-in compression is effective yet simplistic, doing its job without coloring the sound. However, the subtle knob markings can be frustrating during live settings. Overall, it’s a well-priced gem for those needing a reliable preamp solution, but be prepared to manage a few quirks.

Review: Tascam Series 8P Dyna — AudioTechnology

audiotechnology.com

The Tascam Series 8p Dyna delivers a practical solution for expanding your input count with its robust build and straightforward operation. Its one-knob compression is a highlight, enhancing audio quality without fuss. However, the 52dB gain range can be a letdown for quieter sources, necessitating higher settings with dynamic mics. While it excels in versatility and sound quality—especially for drums and vocals—some users may find its limitations in gain frustrating. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking an affordable, reliable preamp with a usable compressor, making it an excellent addition for any setup with ADAT capability.
