The X48-MKII hard disc workstation is Tascam’s combines stability, ease of use, and rackmount convenience.

At AES, TASCAM debuted the new X-48MKII, a new and improved version of the first standalone 48-track Hybrid Hard Disk Workstation, co-developed with SaneWave.

The X-48MKII continues to integrate the best of both worlds: the stability and ease-of-use of a purpose-built hard disk recorder, with the GUI, editing and mixing features of a computer-based digital audio workstation. The X-48MKII goes beyond other digital recorders with a built-in, automated 48-channel digital mixer and powerful editing functions. Adding editing, track naming and monitor mixing functions is as simple as plugging in a VGA monitor, mouse and keyboard, making the X-48MKII the ultimate multi-track solution for music, post and live recording applications.

The TASCAM X-48MKII 48-Track Hybrid Hard Disk Workstation features include:

• 1 TB internal hard drive
• eSATA and USB interfaces
• 48-hour continuous recording @ 44.1kHz
• 20-hour continuous recording @ 96kHz
• Dual-core Intel ATOM processor
• HDTV tri-level sync
• GUI for recording, mixing, editing and metering
