Tascam X-48 MKII



The X-48MKII is a standalone 48-track Hybrid Hard Disk Workstation which integrates 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.

It boasts 96kHz/24-bit recording across all 48 tracks. Yet the X-48MKII goes beyond mere standalone recorders – its 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.

Its file compatibility and synchronization surpass even the TEC Award-winning MX-2424, with Broadcast WAVE and OMF import and export for compatibility with workstations like Pro Tools®. Support for eSATA hard drives and Gigabit Ethernet allows simple transfer between systems, making it the ultimate multitrack solution for high-quality music, post production and live recording applications.
