Anyhoo, the main reason for this post is that I've managed to get my
hands on a Teac "Tascam series" M-15 desk.

However I'm struggling to find any info or a manual or anything about
this desk. The internet seems pretty sparse and I'm not sure where to
look for companies or organisations who might be able to help.

By today's standards, it's pretty crappy. I hope you didn't pay more
than a few dollars for it. It's a good learner and looks pretty
impressive, but with all RCA ins and outs, and a lot more EMI floating
around our environment than at the time that the console was designed
(and TASCAM gear of that period always had pretty poor EMI rejection)
it's far from "quiet enough for digital."

I rather liked my Model 15. Never had EMI problems. RCA
interconnects: signal doesn't really care what the connection is as
long as it gets to where it's going clean. Use good wire and it's not
an issue.

The Model 15 is fully modular, making it relatively easy to hot rod.
Dump the stock 4558/59's for something decent, put better xformers on
the front-end, make sure everything else is up to snuff and you got
yourself a pretty nice console.
