The new DA-6400 records 64 tracks at 48kHz/24-bit or 32 tracks at 96kHz/24-bit, onto a high-performance 240GB Tascam solid-state drive
USA - Tascam's new DA-6400 is a 64-track recorder for live and event recording that records onto an internal SSD drive. Professional I/O options like MADI and Dante make it well suited to live recording, event capture, or as a backup for critical DAW sessions, the company says. The unit records 64 tracks at 48kHz/24-bit or 32 tracks at 96kHz/24-bit, and is available with a single or dual/redundant power supply.

Included an AK-CC25 hot-swappable caddy containing a high-performance 240GB Tascam solid-state drive. The caddy includes a USB 3 jack for stand-alone use. Included on the rear panel are SMPTE timecode, word clock, RS-422, parallel and Ethernet connections.

I/O options for the DA-6400 include the IF-MA64/EX interface card, with both coaxial and optical MADI connections. This card includes a redundant coaxial connection so that MADI is passed through even if power is lost, making it an ideal backup recorder for DAW sessions. Other I/O options include the lower-cost IF-MA64/BN coaxial MADI card, IF-DA64 Dante card, and IF-AE16 AES/EBU card, with more to come, say Tascam.
