The 2488mkII is the follow-up to the best-selling and easy-to-use 24-track recording and mixing workstation for home studios.

A larger 80GB hard drive, all-new LCD display, new guitar effects, and improved CD mastering capabilities round out the features of the TASCAM 2488MkII.

TASCAM 2488mkII Features:
  • 3-band EQ on 24 channels
  • Eight inputs: 4 XLR with phantom power double as 1/4" mic/line inputs, plus four more 1/4" mic/line inputs
  • Nineteen 45mm faders including master fader
  • CD-RW drive to record Audio CDs, import/export WAV files and backup hard drive
  • High-speed USB 2.0 jack connects to PC or Mac for data backup and SMF/WAV file

I don't know how the original 2488 is but I think the mkii is the bomb. Whatever you put in it is exactly what you're going to get out of it. It is replacing my old Boss BR-532. I like the function... read more [+]s and the ease of use. I also bought the video tutorial and it is great also. I don't see myself ever needing another recorder. close [-]

A good deal

I've owned one for six months now, it's recorded a lot of music, and is reliable and convenient to use. Spend a bit of time and care and you can get very good recordings.

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
This is a great value. All of the features and funtions you need are built right in. The price is really a key advantage. Because of it, you can budget other gear like better mics or mic preamps to improve all of your recordings. You can even use high-quality outboard effects through the insert on the back of the machine.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
