Combining the functionality of multiple audio devices into one, the Tascam Model 24 offers a range of powerful recording and mixing features optimized for project studio production, studio sessions, and live stage applications. Sure, you could lug around a rack of mic preamps, a mixing console, an audio interface, and a multi-track audio recorder, or you could just pick up the hybrid mixer, interface, and recorder known as the Model 24!
The Model 24 boasts 22 input channels, including 16 mic preamps with phantom power, two 1/4" Hi-Z jacks, 12 balanced 1/4" mono line inputs, and four balanced 1/4" stereo line inputs. A welcome bonus is the last stereo input channel, which can accept signal via Bluetooth, USB, RCA, or the 3.5mm stereo mini jack. The first 12 channels even pack in one-knob compressors. Three aux sends facilitate signal routing to dedicated monitors and the on-board effects processor, which has 16 effects programs.
The main and sub stereo buses accommodate simple grouping, and a 7-band graphic equalizer can be used on the main stereo bus or assigned to the monitor outputs. For fast, immediate mixing moves, the Model 24 presents 21 faders, each with 100mm long-throw travel. Since each input channel may be assigned to receive audio from its live input, the internal multi-track recorder, or USB, the Model 24 is equally powerful for mixing live or in the studio.
When it comes to recording, Tascam decided to blend a bit of the old with a slice of the new. Inspired by the classic Portastudio, the Model 24 can record, punch in/out, and play via the built-in, 24-track recorder without the hassle of digging through menus. Additionally, it is a 22 x 24 USB audio interface, allowing transmission of 22 input channels and the stereo master at up to 24-bit/48 kHz resolution. So, recording to or playing from your favorite DAW is no problem.
Whether you record or mix live shows, DAW tracks, conferences, or worship services, the Model 24 has the versatility and ease of use to be the centerpiece of your stationary or mobile setup. Stop by the B&H SuperStore or visit our website for further investigation.
