2488 Portastudio

™

24-track, 24-bit, 36-channel Digital

Portastudio with capacious hard

drive, powerful signal processing and

built-in CD-RW drive

ay way back in 1979, when we introduced

the fi rst 4-track cassette tape Portastudio, we

were also helping set the professional audio industry

standard for recording tracks:

twenty-four.

Like the Portastudio, 24

recording tracks caught on,

becoming the primary creative

tool for artists and producers worldwide. Was then.

Still is. Only now everyone can have access to that

magic number of tracks.

Twenty-fi ve years after the fi rst Portastudio comes

the incredible 2488. It’s by far the most affordable

24-track recording and mixing workstation ever made

for home studios — and the only model within three

times its price range that can truly run 24 tracks at

24-bits/ 44.1kHz.

Eight inputs can be simultaneously recorded into

the XLR and W" inputs. Twenty physical faders con-

trol the mixdown channels; each channel has 3-band

EQ and access to three built-in effects processors.

A40gB internal hard disk gives the user ample

space for twenty to thirty

24-track songs and virtual

tracks for comping. Plus the 2488 has a USB 2.0 port

for back-up via home computer.
