Tascam Model 24 22-channel Analog Mixer With 24-track Multitrack Recorder

Tascam Model 24 – Analogue Console, 24-Track Recorder, USB Interface

The Tascam Model 24 combines three pieces of studio equipment in one console: a 22-channel analogue mixer, a 24-track multitrack recorder that works directly to an SD card, and a 24-in, 24-out USB audio interface. You can mix a band hands-on with real faders, capture every channel as a multitrack recording without a computer, and connect to a DAW when the session moves to editing and mixdown.

It is built around the way studios and live rooms actually work: everything patched, everything reachable, and a recording of the session always one button away.

Key features

• 22 input channels, including 20 XLR/TRS combo inputs and stereo returns
• 24-track simultaneous recording to SD or SDXC card
• 24-in / 24-out USB audio interface for DAW recording and playback
• Tascam ultra-low-noise microphone preamps on the XLR inputs
• 4-band EQ on channels 1 to 16, with two sweepable-style mid bands and shelving high and low
• Four auxiliary sends for monitor mixes and outboard effects
• Channel inserts on channels 1 to 16 for outboard compressors and processors
• 100 mm faders with solo and mute on every channel
• Two stereo subgroups and balanced XLR main outputs

Recording without a computer in the room

The built-in recorder captures up to 24 tracks at once to an SD card at up to 24-bit/96 kHz: every input channel plus the stereo mix. For rehearsals, live shows and tracking sessions, that removes the laptop from the critical path. There is no software to crash and no buffer to set; you arm the recorder, press record, and the performance is captured as separate tracks you can mix later in a DAW or on the console itself.

An analogue desk that still feels like one

Mixing on the Model 24 is a physical process. The 100 mm faders, per-channel EQ, four aux sends and subgroup routing let you build monitor mixes, blend stems and ride levels in real time, the way engineers learned on consoles long before screens took over. Inserts on the first sixteen channels let hardware compressors and gates sit in the signal path where they belong, before the mix bus.

One console for studio and stage

The same channel count that tracks a full band in the studio also mixes a live set in a small venue, and the SD recorder captures that set as a multitrack for release or review. With phantom power across the XLR inputs, a dedicated headphone output with its own level control, and USB streaming to and from a computer, the Model 24 replaces a mixer, an interface and a standalone recorder with a single, integrated desk.

For project studios, music schools, houses of worship and rehearsal spaces that need channel count without console complexity, it is a complete recording system in one box.

Sessions stay organised because the workflow is visible: channel labels, fader positions and EQ settings are all physically in front of you, and a mix recalled next week is the mix you can see. For teaching environments that visibility matters too – students learn signal flow by following it with their eyes and hands, not by opening plug-in windows.
