TASCAM STUDIOBRIDGE 24-Track Recorder / 24-IN 24-OUT USB Audio Interface / MIDI / SDXC

Description

The Studio Bridge is a 24-track multitrack recorder and 24-IN/24-OUT USB audio interface designed to link analog consoles and outboard gear to digital workflows – preserving analog character while enabling multitrack capture. It records directly to SDXC cards or operates as a full 24-channel USB audio interface for DAWs. The unit also returns recorded tracks back to an analog mixer for analog summing and hybrid mixing workflows.

Key features include an onboard 24-track SDXC recorder with punch-in/out support, DB-25 analog I/O for 24 channels, MIDI in/out for synchronization, and DAW transport control via HUI/MCU. The included Settings Panel application provides a meter bridge for channel and master monitoring on PC and Mac. The unit supports 16-bit and 24-bit WAV recording at 44.1 and 48 kHz sample rates.

Technical performance is engineered for professional audio – the line in to line out frequency response is 20 Hz to 20 kHz with minimal deviation and a dynamic range of 100 dB or more. THD+N is specified at 0.003% or less and channel crosstalk is -100 dB or less. The recorder supports SD SDHC and SDXC media up to 512 GB and provides clearly defined recording time estimates per card capacity.

Connectivity covers 24 balanced analog inputs and outputs via three TASCAM DB-25 connectors following AES59-2012 pinout, a USB Type-B port for USB 2.0 High-Speed audio class connectivity, dedicated click out and footswitch jacks, and standard 5-pin DIN MIDI in/out ports. The headphone/local monitor output includes a 1/4″ stereo jack with 80 mW + 80 mW output into 32 ohm loads.

Typical use cases include live multitrack capture from a mixing console, DAW-based production with analog summing returns, and standalone DAWless multitrack recording for project studios and mobile rigs. The unit is suited to engineers who want to retain analog signal paths during tracking and mixing while using modern digital workflows. It also integrates sequencing and tempo devices via MIDI for synchronized performances.

Installation is straightforward for studio and live environments – the Studio Bridge is rack-compatible, operates from 100-240 VAC, and consumes 20 W. The front-panel controls and dedicated software simplify routing, transport control, and level monitoring. The chassis weight and operating ranges support reliable field and studio use while maintaining consistent audio performance.
