TASCAM SS-R250N Reviews

Great network recorder

By Marc
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-11-24

While I wish there were more options on the market for network audio recorders, this unit works perfectly. I only wish it had a web interface. The app for remote control only works if the recorder and your computer are on the same subnet. I ended up using serial control to get around that, and all worked perfectly the first time.

Is it possible to connect a large (1TB) SDD hard drive to the USB input ?
Asked by: marco
With the TASCAM SS-R250N Memory Recorder with Networking and Optional Dante Support, you can only record to USB flash drives when using the USB port of the device. An SSD would not be compatible.

can this record multitrack wav files through Dante directly from a console (Allen and Heath SQ in multitrack recording format) ?
Asked by: Matteo
To be able to do that, the TASCAM SS-R250N with Dante card would need to connect to a managed network switch. The Allen & Heath SQ series Dante port would be connected to a different port on the same managed network switch. You would also have a computer connected to that managed network switch, with Audinate Dante Controller installed.
