Tascam Model 2400 – 24-Track Analog Recording Console & Live Mixer

Product Overview

The TASCAM Model 2400 is a 22-channel flagship analog recording console that combines Ultra-HDDA mic preamps, a 24-track SD card recorder, and a 24-in/22-out USB audio interface in a single unit. It is the top of the TASCAM Model Series, building on the Model 24 with upgraded preamps, per-bank phantom power, combi-jack inputs, master bus 4-band parametric EQ with stereo bus compressor, and 5-pin MIDI I/O with timecode support. The Model 2400 is suited to project studios, recording facilities, rehearsal spaces, and live venues that require a self-contained analog mixing and multitrack recording solution without reliance on external interfaces or converters.

Product Description

The Model 2400 provides 16 Ultra-HDDA XLR mic preamps with -127 dBu EIN across the first 20 inputs via combi jacks, plus channels 21/22 as stereo line inputs with Bluetooth connectivity for playback routing. Phantom power is switchable in groups of four channels, protecting ribbon microphones and reducing noise floor in multitrack sessions. Channels 1–12 each include a one-knob compressor for fast gain management during tracking. The 24-track SD card recorder captures up to 24 channels (22 inputs plus stereo master) at 44.1 or 48 kHz, 16 or 24-bit, to SD/SDHC/SDXC media up to 512 GB. The 24-in/22-out USB audio interface eliminates the need for a separate audio interface in DAW-based workflows, and DAW transport and REC READY control via HUI/MCU protocol keeps hands on the console during sessions. Confirmed compatible DAWs include Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Digital Performer, Studio One, Reaper, and Cubasis. A free Model Mixer Settings Panel app provides a 24-channel digital meter bridge on a connected Mac or PC. The master bus section includes 4-band parametric EQ and a stereo compressor with five dedicated hardware knobs. Five aux sends (four plus internal effects), four stereo subgroups, and 12 channel insert points (channels 1–12) provide full signal routing flexibility for complex studio and live setups. The Model 2400 is available at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Model 2400 differ from the Model 24?

The Model 2400 adds upgraded Ultra-HDDA preamps (-127 dBu EIN), per-bank phantom power on groups of four channels, combi-jack inputs on the first 20 channels, master bus 4-band parametric EQ with stereo compressor, 5-pin MIDI I/O with timecode, a built-in metronome, and additional back-panel routing options. The Model 24 retains global phantom power and an analog graphic EQ on the master bus.

Can the Model 2400 record without a computer?

Yes. The Model 2400 records up to 24 channels directly to SD/SDHC/SDXC card at 44.1 or 48 kHz, 16 or 24-bit, with no computer required.

Which DAW software is compatible with the Model 2400?

TASCAM has confirmed operation with Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Digital Performer, Studio One, Reaper, Cakewalk by BandLab, and Cubasis 3.3. HUI/MCU transport and REC READY control is supported.

Does the Model 2400 protect ribbon microphones with its phantom power implementation?

Yes. Phantom power is switchable in banks of four channels, so channels with ribbon microphones can have phantom power off while adjacent channels use condensers with phantom power on.

What warranty applies to the Model 2400?

TASCAM products purchased through authorized dealers including Creation Networks carry TASCAM's standard limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for support.
