The Tascam MODEL 2400 24-Track Flagship Analog Recording Console and Live Mixer with Audio Interface is a cutting-edge amalgamation of analog warmth and digital precision. Engineered to be a cornerstone for both studio and live performance environments, this console boasts a robust feature set that caters to a broad spectrum of musical endeavors. At its core lies a 22-channel, 24-track architecture capable of handling projects of varying scale, from intimate ensembles to expansive orchestral arrangements.

Beyond its channel count, the Model 2400 excels in its sonic capabilities. Tascam's renowned Ultra HDDA mic preamps infuse every recording with exceptional clarity, richness, and dynamic range. The console’s mixing prowess is equally impressive, featuring per-channel compression, versatile sub-grouping options, and comprehensive master bus processing. These tools empower engineers and producers to sculpt their sound with meticulous control and artistry.

A hallmark of the Model 2400 is its versatility. It seamlessly transitions between studio and live contexts. As a studio centerpiece, it offers a 24x22 USB audio interface, eliminating the need for external converters and streamlining integration with digital audio workstations. Its ability to record 24 tracks directly to SD card provides an autonomous recording solution for those who prefer a more analog-centric workflow. Furthermore, the console’s MIDI implementation facilitates synchronization with external gear and expands creative possibilities.

In live performance scenarios, the Model 2400 shines as a robust mixing solution. Its ample aux sends, sub-groups, and insert points offer the flexibility to manage complex stage mixes. The console's physical layout and tactile controls are designed to optimize workflow under the pressure of live performance.

To complement the console's hardware, Tascam provides the Model Mixer Settings Panel app. This software enables users to remotely monitor levels, adjust settings, and optimize the console's performance. By connecting the Model 2400 to a computer via USB, engineers can access a digital meter bridge and gain granular control over the console's parameters.

In essence, the Tascam Model 2400 is more than just a recording console or live mixer; it is a comprehensive audio production tool. Its fusion of analog character and digital functionality positions it as a versatile and indispensable asset for musicians, engineers, and producers alike.
