Introducing the AW2400
This chapter describes the features of the AW2400, the name of each part
and its function, and introduces terminology you need to know when using
the AW2400.
The AW2400 is an audio workstation that combines a digital mixer, multi-effect processor, hard
disk recorder, and CD-RW drive.
The following diagram shows the signal flow within the AW2400.
Now let’s take a more detailed look at each section of the AW2400.
● Plenty of input channels with professional
features
The AW2400 digital mixer features 24-bit AD/DA conver-
sion with 32-bit internal processing for uncompromised
sound quality. 16 input channels, 24 track channels, and 4
stereo effect return channels provide plenty of input
capacity for most mixing situations.
The 8 AD input ([MIC/LINE INPUT] jacks 1–8), chan-
nels 1–16 on an optional I/O card installed in I/O slot, or
the stereo [DIGITAL STEREO IN] connector can be
selected for input.
The track channel 1–24 inputs are permanently assigned
to tracks 1–24, and the effect return channel 1–4 inputs are
permanently assigned to the outputs of internal effect pro-
cessors 1–4.
