Tascam Model 24 – 24-Track Live Recorder & Mixing Console with USB Interface

Product Overview

The TASCAM Model 24 is a hybrid 24-track digital multitrack recorder, 24-channel USB audio interface, and analog mixing console in a single unit. It records directly to SD card at up to 24-bit/48kHz without a computer, and simultaneously serves as a USB audio interface for DAW-based production. With 12 mono input channels, four mono/stereo channels, one-knob compressors on selected channels, and 100mm faders, the Model 24 is suited to live recording, rehearsal spaces, project studios, and small commercial recording facilities that need a self-contained production console without the complexity of a digital mixer.

Product Description

The Model 24 is built around TASCAM's Portastudio multitrack recording engine, which allows any combination of 24 tracks to be recorded and played back simultaneously with overdubs and punch-ins. Channels 1 and 2 feature both XLR and switchable line/instrument 1/4-inch inputs for direct guitar or bass recording without a DI box. All channel strips include three-band EQ, and the master section adds a seven-band graphic EQ for overall mix shaping. Four one-knob compressors on selected channels provide fast dynamics control during live tracking. Two monitor sends, three aux sends, four subgroups, and onboard reverb and delay effects complete the routing complement for live sound applications. The 24-channel USB audio interface allows full multitrack recording to a connected DAW with HUI transport control, keeping hands on the hardware during sessions. SD/SDHC/SDXC media stores sessions directly without a computer for portable and standalone recording. The Model 24 is available at Creation Networks alongside the Model 2400 for engineers requiring upgraded preamps and per-bank phantom power.
