TASCAM Model 2400 24-Track Analog Recording Console with Audio Interface

24-track analog mixer, recorder, and USB audio interface

The TASCAM Model 2400 is a flagship analog recording console designed for studio production, live mixing, and multitrack capture in a single integrated platform. Built for users who want hands-on mixer workflow with modern recording flexibility, it combines analog-style control with internal SDXC recording and USB audio interfacing for music production, rehearsal capture, and live session recording.

Its core design brings together 24-track internal recording, a 24-in / 22-out USB audio interface, and 22 analog input channel modules with 16 mic preamps. The console includes 12 TASCAM HDDA XLR mic preamps and four additional mic preamps, five aux sends, four stereo subgroups, channel inserts on channels 1 to 12, main L/R XLR outputs, control room output, MIDI I/O, and onboard TASCAM effects including reverb, delay, and chorus.

For practical production workflows, the Model 2400 can operate as a standalone recorder or integrate with a computer-based DAW using built-in transport controls over USB. It also supports Meter Bridge app monitoring on PC or Mac, offers talkback with a dedicated XLR input, and provides two headphone outputs for monitoring in tracking, mixing, and live sound environments.

Additional routing and control features such as selectable pre/post-EQ send routing for recording, phantom power in groups of four channels, main bus inserts for external processing, Bluetooth audio input with AAC and SBC codec support, and MIDI clock and synchronization support make it well suited for hybrid analog and digital workflows.

Professional Applications

• Studio tracking and overdub recording without requiring an external interface
• Live mixing and multitrack capture for bands, ensembles, and performance spaces
• Hybrid analog and DAW-based music production workflows
• Monitoring and routing for rehearsal rooms, project studios, and production spaces
• Recording larger combos, jazz ensembles, orchestra, and choir performances

System Integration

The Model 2400 fits into larger production systems as a mixer, recorder, and interface that can serve as the central hub for tracking, playback, monitoring, and routing. USB connectivity supports direct integration with computer-based DAWs, while MIDI I/O allows synchronization and control with external MIDI gear such as drum machines, synthesizers, and effects processors. Channel inserts and main bus inserts also make it easy to connect outboard EQs, compressors, and mastering processors.

Broadcast Workflow Benefits

In real-world professional use, the Model 2400 streamlines operation by reducing the need for separate recording hardware, external audio interfaces, and additional routing devices. Engineers can mix, record, monitor, and manage transport from a single surface, which helps speed setup, simplify signal flow, and maintain a tactile console workflow for both live production and studio sessions.
