Tascam DA-6400
The DA-6400 is a universal recording system for up to 64 audio tracks received from a Digital Audio Workstation or live mixing console. The recorder can be used with a variety of interface boards like MADI, Dante, DigiLink, AVB or AES/EBU to integrate flawlessly into virtually any environment. Moreover, Tascam plans to maintain the recorder as a living system by adapting it continuously to new interfaces and systems according to the needs of users. The DA-6400 uses a special real-time operating system and highly reliable SSD drives for storage.
The DA-6400 uses an embedded operating system for quick startup and simple operation. Stable recording is possible when using high sampling rates with large amounts of data transmission. Furthermore, files are saved approximately every 20 seconds during recording, so file losses due to unexpected power supply interruptions are kept to a minimum.
PCM recording/playback from 48 kHz to 96 kHz maximum is supported for compatibility with existing recording studio systems, PA systems and other recording situations where high sampling rates are being utilized. Note: 32 channels are supported at 96 kHz/24-bit resolution.
The DA-6400 uses solid-state drives (SSD), which have excellent vibration and environmental resistance and offer simple, maintenance-free operation. It includes a Tascam SSD designed and thoroughly tested using DA-6400 units. Component parts, including IC control elements, are carefully selected and constantly tested lot by lot in cooperation with the parts manufacturers to maintain quality specifications.
By installing SSDs into removable AK-CC25 storage cases and using the swappable bay in the DA-6400 unit, it is easy to switch and use multiple drives. Since the DA-6400 is hot-swappable, it is possible to remove and load SSDs stored in AK-CC25 cases even when the power is on, making rapid switching of media possible. SSDs stored in AK-CC25 cases can be connected to computers by USB and used as external drives.
Note: One AK-CC25 and one TASCAM SSD are included with each DA-6400/DA-6400d unit. Additional cases and drives can also be purchased separately.Because the clock generator can influence digital signal quality, the DA-6400 employs a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) that boasts a high precision of ±1 ppm (0.048 Hz at 48 kHz).
A single DA-6400 can record and play back up to 64 channels but requires only a small amount of space for installation due to its compact 1U design.The DA-6400 is a perfect solid-state, compact playback system for theatres, theme parks, and similar venues. By fitting two IF-AN16/OUT analogue output cards, the DA-6400 can supply up to 32 different playback signals for surround sound and impressive special effects. For audio-visual presentations in event and amusement parks the recorder can also synchronise the projector?s video signal to the audio signal.
The playlist function available since firmware v2.00 makes it possible to assign takes to a list in the order you want, change playback order, and non destructively set playback ranges of every audio entry without affecting the audio files. In addition, loading and writing of JPPA flash start playlist files is supported. After a take from a playlist ends, when Auto Ready mode is enabled, the unit automatically jumps to and pauses at the beginning of the next starting point.
