Tascam X-48 Professional 48-Track Digital MultiTrack Recorder

Tascam X-48 sets the new standard in standalone digital multitrack recording. Tascam X-48 is the world's first 48-track Hybrid Hard Disk Workstation and was Co-Developed with SaneWave. X48 delivers the best of both worlds: the stability and ease-of-use of a purpose-built hard disk recorder, with the GUI, editing features and plug-in compatibility of a computer-based digital audio workstation. Tascam X-48 boasts up to 96kHz/24-bit recording across all 48 tracks.

Tascam X-48 delivers file compatibility and synchronization that surpass even the TEC Award-winning MX-2424, with native Broadcast WAVE audio file support and AAF export for compatibility with workstations like Pro Tools, Nuendo and Logic. Support for FireWire hard drives and Gigabit Ethernet allows simple transfer between systems, making it the ultimate multitrack solution for high-quality music, post and live recording applications.

Tascam X-48 goes way beyond mere standalone recorders. X48 features a built-in, automated 48-channel digital mixer, VGA display output, powerful editing functions and DVD+RW backup drive transform it into a complete integrated workstation.
