The TASCAM DP-24SD Digital Portastudio records 24 tracks to solid-state drive, with up to eight track simultaneous recording via XLR and 1/4" combo jacks. Input processing includes compression and limiting, as well as guitar amp simulation and multi-effects for use with the instrument-level input. The color display and channel strip knobs make mixing fast and creative, and the included 4GB SD card can be replaced with up to 32GB SDHC media or swapped with other cards between projects for up to 50 hours of music.
The DP-24SD has 8 XLR-TRS combo inputs that can withstand multi-microphone recording with drums.
Phantom power supply is also possible, with the INPUT H compatible with direct guitar inputs.
With dynamic effects, which are indispensable for high-quality recording, up to 8 effects can be used for each input.
In addition, the DP-24SD comes with built-in guitar multi-effects, tuner, and metronome, allowing users to complete recording preparations with this device alone.
You don't need a PHD in studio recording to sound like a pro with the TASCAM DP-24DS Portastudio. We put everything you need at your fingertips so you can see and control everything that's happening.
Full-color LCD screens and self-illuminated buttons visually communicate the recording process, and everything from level setting, compression, and limiting happens with sturdy sliders, buttons, and knobs.
The TASCAM DP-24DS's intuitive design allows you to quickly dive deeper into any setting without distracting you from your creative session
With 19 track-faders and one master fader, you'll always have ample access to what you need for your recording and mixing.
The DP-24SD uses SD/SDHC media to ensure secure shock resistance as stores files as FAT 16 or 32 format. You can also transfer the recorded files
Use up to 8 dynamics effects at once, one for each input source, for unlimited sound! Each of the effect blocks (Compressor, Exciter, Amp, Modulation, Delay, and Reverb) features many studio-quality variations.
