Soundcraft's description:

Launched in 1981, the 2400 was a direct upgrade of the 1624 console,
incorporating market feedback from this popular console, and continuing
Soundcraft's backing of the 'split' format for recording
consoles. The alternative 'In-line' format was gaining ground, but
Soundcraft believed that this was a more confusing and cluttered way of
working. It achieved a high degree of sales success through its being
packaged with the 762 24-track/2-inch tape machine, from Soundcraft
Magnetics. Over 100 2400's were sold in the first year alone, and the
console continued to sell well until 1986, undergoing a facelift from
brown to dark grey in 1985, in common with the rest of the product
range.

Main differences from the 1624 were full 24-bus routing from each
input, and full 24-track monitoring as standard. (A 16-track monitor
version was still available at lower cost).

The meterbridge was available with either VUs for each track, or a
hi-tech 40-segment LED bargraph overbridge. This had globally
switchable Peak or VU ballistics, a phase correlation meter, and a
unique 27-band, 1/3 octave spectrum analyser mode, which measured the
stereo mix.

Condition is excellent. Works fine. Power supply recently rebuilt.
Needs a cleanup. A few funky switches as in any board this age. Sold as
is. Please feel free to call or email to ask any questions before
bidding.

We are a smoke-free pro studio. We have three rooms and are selling off
a stack of gear we no longer use.

Thanks for looking!
