I’m not interested, but it might help to know how many channels (16, 24 or 32), and whether or not it includes the optional meter bridge.
Also, I have a bit of a soft-spot for the M-2600 series because of what’s going on under the hood as well as the feature set…pretty cool for a budget console. I’ll copy and paste a paraphrase from another unrelated thread on this forum where I recently commented on the M-2600 series:
“I consider the M-2600 series in kind of the latter end of the 4th generation of Tascam consoles…the M-1500 series, M-2500 and M-3500/3700…and then toward the end the M-1600 and M-2600. The M-2600 is an odd duck among all Tascam consoles for which I have schematics or have serviced/taken apart…it uses opamps not used in any other period Tascam console of which I’m aware, which were relatively leading edge parts at the time, and partly because the audio power is +/-20V, when pretty much everything else was +/-15V, and in some cases, like with the M-1500 and others, +/-12V. Barring other means of mitigation, the audio power rail voltage is directly tied to the headroom potential of the circuit; higher power means higher headroom. Again there are other ways to work around this…transformers, fancier circuits…but that is all more expensive, and Tascam was primary in creating a market space for innovative products priced in lower budget brackets, and taking care to focus where costs were prioritized brought well-designed and built feature-rich products within reach of people with lesser means. So more expensive designs were not part of approach. For what it is the M-2600 has uncommonly high audio power rail voltages for high headroom, has a discrete front end on the mic amp, which is not uncommon, but every other Tascam design used 2 or 4 transistors…the M-2600 has 6 transistors, has some really really great split inline monitor functionality including split EQ that can be assigned to the main input or monitor path…available full meter bridge…it’s a bit of a lark among that generation of Tascam consoles.”
Maybe this will help move it when it goes on the market. You’re free to use any or all of my comments above if helpful.
