Supplier's Notes:
Streamline Your Mix Process with Advanced Onboard Processing
The Model 2400's versatility doesn't compromise its mixing capabilities one bit. With per-channel compression, multiple sub groups, and master stereo bus processing including compression and EQ, you'll have the pro-level mix control you need in any scenario. Taking your project from tracking to a final master on the Model 2400 couldn't be simpler.
22 Channels and 24 Tracks, One Solution
With comprehensive 22-channel mixing capabilities, the Model 2400 is an ideal studio and live mixer for everything from larger combos and jazz ensembles to orchestra and choir ensembles. And when it comes to recording, no additional interface or computer are required.
Insert Professional Processors and Effects
Insert points on channels 1-12 allow you to easily integrate a studio rack full of processors and effects units. And, in addition to the onboard Master Bus processing, a send/return loop on the Main output allows you to connect external mastering gear such as compressors, EQs, stereo imagers and sonic exciters.
Ample Aux and Sub Outputs
With 5 Aux sends and 4 stereo sub groups, Model 2400 handles advanced mixing duties with ease. Create more monitor mixes without sacrificing an aux for effects. Connect multiple pairs of studio monitors for checking your mixes. In your studio or on stage, Model 2400 delivers the comprehensive connectivity and routing you need.
Professional Recording Capabilities
Model 2400 seamlessly integrates multitrack recording with studio and live mixing. With the ability to record 24 channels (22 inputs plus the stereo master) of high-quality audio direct to SD card media, Model 2400 is a powerful recording solution even if you're a DAW-less producer.
Sound with Excitement
TASCAM Ultra HDDA (High-Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamps give Model 2400 the vibrant analogue sound that makes harmonics come alive.
With Ultra HDDA, any sound source will be represented with the utmost clarity and richness, and with an ultra-low noise floor.
Monitor Your Signal Virtually
With the Model Mixer Settings Panel app, users can take advantage of a digital meter bridge across by connecting the Model 2400 via USB to a PC or Mac. Set peak hold times, monitor the input, MTR or USB signal all while being able scale the GUI from a small window to full screen. Take it a step further by porting the app from your computer to a dedicated monitor of your choosing.
Ready to Be Your Studio Centrepiece
Model 2400 delivers the classic analogue console experience in the studio, with an onboard 24x22 audio interface that's ready to meld with modern production workflows. Insert points on channels 1-12 allow you to integrate studio processors and effects. And with the ability to return 22 DAW tracks through Model 2400's mix path and processing, it's also the most versatile analogue summing mixer you'll find.
MIDI Interface
Model 2400's comprehensive MIDI functionality allows full integration with MIDI-based production setups. From controlling drum machines and synthesizers from your DAW software, to synchronizing external effects processors to the tempo of your music and creating click tracks, Model 2400 offers the MIDI functionality you need to make it happen.
