Tascam Model 2400 – 24-Track Analog Console, Recorder & USB Interface

Product Overview

The TASCAM Model 2400 is a 22-channel flagship analog recording console that integrates Ultra-HDDA mic preamps, a 24-track SD card recorder, and a 24-in/22-out USB audio interface in one unit. Per-bank phantom power, combi-jack inputs on all 20 channel strips, master bus 4-band parametric EQ with stereo compressor, and 5-pin MIDI I/O with timecode make it the most capable unit in the Model Series — suited to project studios, recording facilities, rehearsal spaces, and live venues needing a self-contained production console.

Product Description

The Model 2400 provides 16 Ultra-HDDA XLR mic preamps with -127 dBu EIN across the first 20 combi-jack inputs. Phantom power is switchable per bank of four channels, protecting ribbon microphones and reducing noise floor in multitrack sessions. Channels 1–12 include one-knob compressors for fast gain management during tracking and live use. The 24-track SD 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 with no computer required. The 24-in/22-out USB audio interface integrates with DAW software including Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Digital Performer, Studio One, Reaper, and Cubasis, with HUI/MCU transport and REC READY control keeping hands on the console. The master bus section features 4-band parametric EQ and a stereo bus compressor with five dedicated hardware knobs, plus a built-in metronome for click track recording. Five aux sends (four plus internal effects), four stereo subgroups, and 12 channel insert points on channels 1–12 support complex studio and live routing. Channels 21/22 accept Bluetooth audio for device playback routing to the main mix or monitors. The free Model Mixer Settings Panel app provides a 24-channel digital meter bridge on Mac or PC. The Model 2400 is available at Creation Networks.
