A powerful standalone recording solution
The 2488neo features an 80GB hard drive, enough for hours of 44.1kHz/24-bit recording.

A reverb effect, multi effect with guitar amp simulation, and up to 9 compressors are also included.

Hands-on operation

Its bold new look makes the 2488neo fit perfectly into any home, project or pro studio. If you choose to expand your recording or editing operation or want quick and easy data backup, this TASCAM unit includes a high-speed USB 2.0 computer connection.

Mastering effects
A new mastering effect onboard the 2488neo includes multi-band EQ, compression and limiting for professional-sounding mixes which can be burned to CD or transferred to computer through the USB 2.0 jack. Built for musicians who want to record without needing a computer, the 2488neo continues TASCAM's legacy of easy-to-use Portastudios for home recording.
