TASCAM has begun shipping their new
MX-2424SE hard disk recorder and IF-AN24EH analog interface module. Based on their popular MX-2424 24 Track 24 Bit Hard Disk Recorder, the new MX-2424SE (MSRP $4,499 USD) features a removable 18GB hard drive, conveniently located on the unit's front panel. The removable drive is designed to allow for quick and easy transfer and archiving of audio data with a variety of external systems.
Also shipping immediately is TASCAM's new IF-AN24EH, a special version of TASCAM's standard analog interface module for the MX-2424, which was designed to accommodate the required -20dB digital reference level commonly used in post-production.
"Since we introduced the MX-2424 last year, post houses have requested that we create a version of the machine that incorporates features that make it easy for them to accomplish transfers in the fastest method possible," says Jim Lucas, TASCAM production products group manager. "The MX-2424SE allows people to continue working with compatible DAW systems like Digidesign's Pro Tools while offering all the advantages of a dedicated standalone device."
The MX-2424SE also takes advantage of key recent software updates for the standard MX-2424 model, including the ability to synchronize via Sony P2 9-pin control. This enables the unit to interface with a wider number of high-end consoles, controllers and interfaces.
The Data Express removable drive system featured in the MX-2424SE uses a reliable, robust 18 gigabyte SCSI disk drive format. Also, the MX-2424SE model continues to use the popular Sound Designer II and Broadcast Wave audio file formats, allowing recordings made on the MX-2424SE to be imported and exported from Digidesign Pro Tools systems and other DAWs with sample-accurate time-stamping of music, dialog and effects.
