Feature:
For the price, the features are right up there with the Yamaha DM2K (at roughly 4x the list price of the TASCAM). They actually did the routing a bit better than Yamaha... can send ANY input to ANY output via just about any signal path... Yamaha could take a lesson!
Quality:
It's very pretty!! However, it loses points for the CRAPPY COMPRESSORS!!!!
Value:
At $5000, this console is a bargain... even with the BIG PROBLEM WITH THE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM!!!! (i put this in caps so that maybe TASCAM will take heed and fix this problem). Aside from this one problem, this console is rock solid. I own three of them and two of the DM3200's and have used them for two seasons to record "The Biggest Loser", "Beauty and the Geek" and numerous other reality shows. No problems, crashes, etc... aside from the VERY BAD COMPRESSION!!!!!
Desirability:
Probably the best looking console in the "under $20,000" catagory.
Sound:
The mic pres are OK... rather transparent, but headroom is a bit tight. Also, don't even THINK about using the dynamics, the compression algorithm causes a severe distortion. TASCAM should really be ashamed of putting out a "pro" product with such a marked and easily fixable flaw!!
Ease of Use:
If you've used one digital console... actually, the menus on this console are very easy to navigate.
Support:
I have always had good experiences with phone support from TASCAM.

Feature:
One can't begin to describe the flexibility of this console in a simple review. This is the digital console that I was waiting for...it was worth the wait. P.S The manual sucks!
Quality:
Just great!
Value:
Best value on the market.
Desirability:
Just look at the pictures...this thing is beautiful!
Sound:
Awesome!
Ease of Use:
Once you learn it, the console is remarkably intuitive. However, the manual is written poorly.
Support:
The folks at Tascam are just too damn busy...your best bet is the user forum.
Overall:
It will take several months just to realize the potential control, etc. of this console...I see it lasting me quite a long time. I would replace it with an identical console with 32 mic pre-amps, or I may just buy another DM-4800 and cascade two of them.
