TASCAM SONICVEW-24XP

TASCAM has a long history of high-quality digital mixers, culminating with the legendary DM-4800, a workhorse mixer that set a new standard. With TASCAM Sonicview, TASCAM has created an entirely new line of digital recording and mixing consoles that incorporate the latest technology and make it easy to see and control all of the parameters you want, when you want, with completely customizable touch screens and user-definable buttons, along with motorized faders and intuitive control software.

TASCAM Sonicview recording mixing consoles integrate beautifully with the rest of your system, thanks to built-in Dante networking, a 32-bit/96 kHz multi-channel USB audio interface, built-in multi-track SD recording*, and plenty of I/O. No-compromise audio quality, including 54-bit float-point FPGA mixing, combines with ample signal processing, an expansion slot for additional connectivity, and wireless remote control to make TASCAM Sonicview recording mixers a next-generation choice for touring, installed sound, recording studios, and broadcasting.

The TASCAM Sonicview 24XP offers motorized channel faders in three banks of eight, plus a motorized stereo fader for the main bus. Above each bank of channel faders is a color touch panel that allows you to view entire mixer channels, or get down to details, controlling each parameter with your fingertip.

Truly the next generation in mixer user interfaces, the powerful intuitive TASCAM Visual Interactive Ergonomic Workflow (VIEW) system lets you quickly and easily configure the TASCAM Sonicview 24XP's three touch screens.

Thanks to the VIEW user interface, there are three different ways to view your settings, and each touch screen can be configured independently, so you can monitor and control any combination of settings you want, in whichever screens you want, whenever you want. For instance, you could monitor levels for eight channels of vocals on screen 1, while tweaking the parametric EQ on a drum submix in screen 2 and keeping an eye on the output-bus level and compression curve on screen 3.

• To view the status of any eight adjacent channels at a glance, as you would see on vertical channel strips with an analog mixer, choose Channel Strip View.
• In Module View, you can monitor and control any three sets of parameters for one single channel, including the compressor, graphic EQ, aux/effects send, and more.
• Individual View is the ultimate in customized displays. View any functions for any channel, group of channels, and more—all on different screens, simultaneously. For instance, you could simultaneously monitor the output bus meter, adjust a graphic equalizer, and monitor levels on important input channels.

Channel Strip View lets you monitor and control eight adjacent channels, and view them as virtual channel strips like an analog mixer layout.

Module View lets you monitor and control any three sets of parameters simultaneously for one single channel.

Individual View lets you monitor and control a custom selection of functions for any channel or group of channels.

TASCAM Sonicview delivers the finest audio performance in its class, thanks to a 54-bit float-point FPGA mixing engine; continuous, high-definition 32-bit/96 kHz sampling; and 32-bit analog-to-digital converters. The mixing engine's float-point processing makes it possible to flexibly change levels without compromising resolution and FPGA mixing engine make it possible to ensures ultra-low latency, even in analog-to-analog connections. The result is no-compromises performance, including with Dante networks and in-line monitoring systems.

The TASCAM Sonicview 24XP offers 24 channels with XLR mic/line inputs and 8 channels with both XLR mic inputs and balanced TRS line inputs. You also get TRS insert points on two channels, two stereo pairs of RCA aux inputs, and an XLR input for a talkback mic.

There's much more to TASCAM Sonicview than meets the eye. Internally, TASCAM Sonicview recording mixers have a generous 40 mono channels, 2 stereo channels and 4 stereo FX return channels so you can fly in backing tracks to make a small praise band sound huge, accommodate additional physical audio inputs via the expansion slots for larger ensembles, manage sources from every part of a venue via the Dante network, and mix dozens of DAW tracks. Eight DCAs enable you to easily control groups of channels. The programmable layer keys select which custom combination of channels and output buses are controlled by the motorized faders.

Each TASCAM Sonicview microphone input feeds a TASCAM Class 1 HDIA (High Definition Instrumentation Architecture) preamp—the finest mic preamp we've ever made. Thanks to an instrumentation amplifier with extremely good noise characteristics in the first stage, Class 1 HDIA microphone preamps exhibit excellent EIN, signal-to-noise ratio, distortion ratio, and frequency response. TASCAM Sonicview ultra definition mic preamps will pick up the slightest nuance from rosin on a violin bow to the subtle dynamic changes of a voice or saxophone. The mic inputs can accept up to +32 dBu signals, providing plenty of headroom for sudden level increases.

The combination of Class 1 HDIA preamps, 32-bit/96 kHz ADCs, and our 54-bit FPGA mixing engine is impressive but we didn't stop there: We conducted extensive internal and external evaluations to tune TASCAM Sonicview recording mixers for optimal performance. The result is best-in-class sound that will never disappoint.

TASCAM Sonicview's integrated 32-in/32-out USB audio interface makes it a first-rate front end for recording and broadcast studios, as well as for capturing live events. Record your choice of channel direct outs, flex buses, and the L/R main bus to your favorite DAW at up to 96 kHz with the same 32-bit precision used throughout the TASCAM Sonicview.
