3 – Antares microphone modeling
NOTE
All names of microphone manufacturers and micro-
phone model designations appearing in this manual 
and on the DM-24 are used solely to identify the micro-
phones analyzed in the development of the digital 
models and do not in any way imply any association 
with or endorsement by any of the named manufactur-
ers.
This effect allows you to model the characteristics of 
a particular model of microphone and apply it to the 
microphone you are...

12 TASCAM DM-24 Effects
Excessive frequency boosting can occur if processes 
intervening between the microphone and the modeler 
produce noise. This noise will be excessively 
boosted, especially if the filtering on the microphone 
and the recording process has accentuated this.
Polar response patterns can be simulated, but cannot 
automatically change the pattern of the source micro-
phone. For example, if a recording has been made 
using a microphone...

3 – Antares microphone modeling—Selecting a model for output
 TASCAM DM-24 Effects 13
 Use a different microphone which is listed, if you 
have one.
 Select a similar model of microphone from the 
same manufacturer; that is, one with similar char-
acteristics to the one in use.
 Select another microphone of the same type (for 
example, another large condenser microphone, 
etc.). Select Bypass (that is, no microphone) as the 
source.
Note that if you do select a microphone of a different 
type to the...

Model microphone parameters
As with the source microphone, there are a number 
of different additional parameters available which 
can be set.
Proximity As with the source microphone, the 
model can also have a proximity value set (in inches 
again). Use POD 2, bottom row.
When used with the model, it will affect the final 
character of the sound, as if the source was the speci-
fied distance from the model microphone...

You may need to “juggle” the values of the input 
level and the drive gain to achieve the most satisfac-
tory results for this parameter.
Microphone models
The microphone models listed here are available for 
the DM-24 microphone modeler.
In the display, typically parameters and names are 
shown as given here, but the spacing of words on 
screen may sometimes differ from those given in the 
table.The microphone response patterns...

Updating microphone models
The modeler provides up to 100 models of micro-
phone. More may be made available in the future 
through the TASCAM Web site.Consult your dealer for availability.

4 – Antares speaker modeling
In the same way that microphones can be modeled, 
the DM-24 allows for the modeling of speakers.
Once again, it is important to remember that it is not 
possible to instantly transform a pair of low-end 
near-field monitors into a pair of expensive, 
top-of-the-line monster monitors (even modern tech-
nology has its limits), but it can be useful for simulat-
ing some of the speaker types on which your final 
project will be played, and for which you...

4 – Antares speaker modeling—Target speaker types
 TASCAM DM-24 Effects 19
Target speaker types
The speakers modeled here are generic, rather than 
reproducing a particular make or model of speaker. 
They represent a wide range of speaker types on 
which your material may eventually be played.

Bypass speaker (no model for the output speaker)

Boombox 1 (one type of “boombox”)

Boombox 2 (another variation on the boombox 
theme)

Car Sedan (an average car sound system)

Car SUV (the kind of sound...

5 – TC Works Reverb
The TC Works reverberation built into the DM-24 is 
a sophisticated reverb system, allowing you to simu-
late many different kinds of acoustic environment.Most common (and a few less common) parameters 
can be edited, allowing fine control of the whole 
sound.
NOTE
Due to technical limitations, if reverb is selected as one 
effect, the reverb or speaker modeler cannot be 
selected as the second effect.It is also not available in high sampling frequency 
mode....
