he SX-1LE is one of the quickest interfaces for 

recording. With just four button presses you 

can begin recording – perfect for those moments 

when you just need to get a new idea down. 

Despite its sophisticated feature set and ad-

vanced routing capabilities, the SX-1LE is intui-

tive and easy to use. As your arrangement begins 

to take shape, you’ll appreciate the 16 tracks of 

24-bit recording and the clarity of the 16 phantom-

powered mic pres.  The VGA display output allows 

you to edit your tracks until you’ve assembled the 

perfect take. 

When you’re ready to mix, you get 3-band EQ on 

each of the 32 input channels, plus 4 stereo effects 

returns for the built-in or external effects. All of 

your mixing moves are fully automated using the 

touch-sensitive moving faders, and automation can 

be edited on the display to get it just right. 

As well as making the perfect turnkey studio for 

the songwriter at home, the SX-1LE is a perfect fi t for 

educational facilities as well. Rather than spending 

tens of thousands of dollars to assemble a recording 

studio lab for students, the SX-1LE provides all of 

the components you need to create a professional 

recording environment. Just add monitors and a 

microphone for a complete, low-cost solution. 

W

ith its dedicated 6-channel stem controller 

and recorder, the SX-1LE is a good fi t for stu-

dios looking to capture and manipulate surround 

audio. The SX-1LE implements an intuitive interface 

for working in surround. Using the comprehensive 

GUI, you can place your audio anywhere within 

a 360˚ fi eld to set the levels and panning for your 

surround playback. Also included are advanced 

surround controls for setting divergence and LFE, as 

well as the ability to cancel the center channel. 

There’s also a wide variety of monitoring func-

tions with the SX-1LE. An onboard speaker switcher 

allows access to its three speaker outputs. Nearfi eld 

and soffi t speaker control room outputs can be fed 

by a large number of sources, including left/right, 

auxes 1-6, cue mix, 2-track inputs and others. Two 

headphone outputs are also included, fed by the 

control room or studio output signals. 

The SX-1LE offers four simultanious realtime 

effects, using TASCAM DSP technology. If you want 

to expand into surround reverb, compression or other 

effects, it’s simple to insert processors using the SX-1LE’s 

fl exible routing controls.
