You also get an analog insert on the main stereo bus to connect external mastering equipment. There’s plenty of additional analog I/O on tap, with five auxiliary sends and four stereo subgroups, so you can create multiple monitor mixes without sacrificing an auxiliary for effects. You can connect multiple sets of speakers to ensure broad-gauge reference monitoring. A talkback XLR microphone input is also available. We’re impressed with the Model 2400 here; it gives you the comprehensive connectivity and routing you need to achieve a pro-level experience. Streamlined recording and mixing The Model 2400 offers a salmagundi of recording options, allowing you to record and mix everything from singer/songwriters and small groups all the way up to large orchestras and choir ensembles. Its integrated multitrack recorder lets you record 24 channels (the 22 inputs plus the stereo master) of high-quality audio directly to an SD card — no computer required. That said, the Model 2400 is equally at home in a DAW-based recording setup, thanks to its built-in 24-in/22-out USB audio interface and dedicated HUI- and MCU-compatible DAW transport control. Furthermore, in addition to the aforementioned per-channel compression and EQ, the Model 2400 incorporates onboard digital effects, arming you with DSP-fueled master-bus processing and studio-quality reverb, delay, chorus, and more, complete with tactile fader control. The centerpiece of your studio While the Model 2400 excels as a classic analog console, its built-in audio interface, DAW transport control, and ample analog I/O enable it to integrate seamlessly into modern production workflows. Thanks to the Model 2400’s ability to return 22 tracks from your DAW and through the console’s own mix path and processing, you’ll also find that it tackles analog summing duties with complete assurance. Furthermore, the Model 2400’s extensive MIDI functionality lets you control drum machines, synthesizers, and other hardware directly from your DAW software, synchronize your external modules to the tempo of your project, and a whole lot more. You can also gain extensive metering capabilities via TASCAM’s Meter Bridge software application on your Mac or PC.
