US-2400 DAW Controller with 100mm Moving Faders
Twenty-four rotary encoders are 
provided, selectable to control pan or 
up to 6 aux sends. Or, with the press of a 
button, all 24 encoders can be employed 
as one large channel strip* for four-band 
EQ, aux and pan control. Each encoder 
has an easy-to-read ring of LEDs that 
displays the current setting of that knob. 
Another mode changes the LED rings 
to display meters instead for instant 
feedback on your levels. 
A set of solid-feeling transport but-
tons are also provided, plus functions 
like in and out points. A smooth jog/
shuttle wheel is provided for locating 
in your project or scrubbing audio clips. 
And the US-2400 is the fi rst universal 
DAW control surface to include a joystick 
for surround panning.  
The US-2400 connects to your com-
puter using a simple USB connection. 
No drivers need to be installed to start 
using it – since the US-2400 emulates 
the Mackie Control® or Mackie HUI®, 
setup is fast and easy. With it’s all-in-one 
design (no fader expanders required), 
professional-quality components and 
fl exible control functions, the US-2400 
is the ultimate front end for any studio 
serious about mixing on a computer. 
T
he new US-2400  provides all of 
the hands-on control that big 
computer mixing projects demand. 
With twenty-fi ve  touch-sensitive 
moving faders, assignable encoders, 
fl exible metering, surround panning 
capability  and reliable transport con-
trols, it’s ready for the biggest mix you 
can throw at it.  
Modern digital audio workstation 
software has become so powerful that 
many users mix inside the computer, 
never using an external mixer for 
more than monitoring their work. 
Unfortunately, mixing on the com-
puter often means moving on-screen 
faders with your mouse or panning a 
track by clicking and dragging. With 
the US-2400 , you can save the mouse 
for what it’s good at and use a control 
surface for what it’s good at: hands-on 
mixing with lots of real faders, knobs 
& buttons. The TASCAM US-2400 gives 
you enough faders to handle a real re-
cording session without lots of bank 
switching.  
The US-2400  features 25 touch-
sensitive moving channel faders and 
a touch-sensitive motorized master 
fader, each with 10-bit resolution for 
precise level control. Each channel has 
dedicated, illuminated select, solo and 
mute controls so you can see what’s 
going on without checking the com-
puter monitor.
