Tascam DP-32SD 32 Track Digital Portastudio Multitrack Audio Recorder and Mix
The TASCAM DP-32SD Digital Portastudio records 32 tracks to solid-state drive, with up to eight track simultaneous recording via XLR and 1⁄4” combo jacks. Input processing includes compression and limiting, as well as guitar amp simulation and multi-effects for use with the instrument-level input. The color display and channel strip knobs make mixing fast and creative, and the included 4GB SD card can be replaced with up to 32GB SDHC media or swapped with other cards between projects for up to 50 hours of music.
The DP-32SD has 8 XLR-TRS combo inputs that can withstand multi-microphone recording with drums.
Phantom power supply is also possible, with the INPUT H compatible with direct guitar inputs.
With dynamic effects, which are indispensable for high-quality recording, up to 8 effects can be used for each input.
In addition, the DP-32SD comes with built-in guitar multi-effects, tuner, and metronome, allowing users to complete recording preparations with this device alone.
The most intuitive recording workstation ever lets you focus on capturing your best performance.
You don’t need a PHD in studio recording to sound like a pro with the TASCAM DP-32DS Portastudio. We put everything you need at your fingertips so you can see and control everything that’s happening.
Full-color LCD screens and self-illuminated buttons visually communicate the recording process, and everything from level setting, compression, and limiting happens with sturdy sliders, buttons, and knobs.
The TASCAM DP-32DS’s intuitive design allows you to quickly dive deeper into any setting without distracting you from your creative session
The DP-32SD uses SD/SDHC media to ensure secure shock resistance as stores files as FAT 16 or 32 format. You can also transfer the recorded files
