These measures have been taken to provide the user with a music production experience free of hassle.
Simultaneous 8-track recording with 8 XLR/TRS combo connectors
The DP-24SD has 8 XLR/TRS combo inputs that can withstand multi-microphone recording with drums.
Phantom power supply is also possible, including direct guitar input. With dynamic effects, which are indispensable for high-quality recording, up to 8 effects can be selected for inputs simultaneously.
In addition, the DP-24SD comes with built-in guitar multi-effects, tuner, and metronome, allowing users to complete recording preparations with this device alone.
This means the time you would normally spend on preparation is freed up for music production instead.
upports high-quality mixing thanks to its professional effects
When it comes to mixing, users can perform a speedy mix-down with intuitive operation thanks to the full-color LCD, encoders, and faders of the DP-24SD.
Mixing effects that are available include reverbs and spatial effects that you can use to enhance your music, resulting in audio with quality as high as that of professional studio productions.
After mixing is done, final touches can be added by using the built-in mastering effect.
From the moment you switch the device on to mastering your audio production, the DP-24SD creates a professional production environment without a computer
Even in loud environments, the high output powered amplifier makes headphone monitoring easy
In order to ensure a high-quality production environment, the outputs and monitor systems have been upgraded.
Separate to the stereo output, a MONITOR OUT that can adjust monitor volume has been installed, capable of making balanced connections even with large monitor speakers. In addition, headphone amplifier that allows loud volume monitoring has also been installed.
The DP-24SD DIGITAL PORTASTUDIO is a recording system in which musicians can perform essential professional band recording and audio production at the comfort of their own home.
