Zoom takes its revolutionary R16 and turbocharges it with a sampler and drum machine, 8 additional recording tracks and 6 channels of phantom-power on the all-new R24. The R24 combines four production tools into one incredibly versatile device. In addition to 24-track playback and 8-track simultaneous recording using SD memory cards, the R24 is a digital multi-track recorder, an audio interface, a control surface and a pad sampler.
The R24’s new sampler function consists of 24 built-in voices that can be triggered using 8 pads and 3 bank keys to assign sounds to each track and create loops. Also, you can use the unit’s drum machine and its 400 rhythm patterns to create original backing beats, or simply output a metronome for tempo control. More than ever before, you have all the tools necessary to create studio-quality recordings anywhere.
For recording, the R24 supports up to 32GB SD cards, allowing over 100 track hours of recording. The flexibility of SD recording not only makes the R24 lighter and more portable, it also ensures increased reliability with no concern for a crashing hard drive. Back up your project on a USB memory stick. Or dedicate an SD card to each recording session.
Take your R24 into your studio and record additional tracks using its USB audio interface. Then when you’re ready to mix, use the R24’s control surface capabilities to manage each function of your favorite DAW software.
Incorporate any of the 100+ built-in studio effects to enhance your recording and use the pro-quality mastering effects to complete that studio sound. You can even connect two R24s via USB for synchronized operation and 16 tracks of simultaneous recording.
With the new Zoom R24, versatility, control and comprehensive features come together in a single device that puts everything you need for professional music production right at your fingertips.
It’s a Recorder.
The R24 is perfect for capturing audio in a variety of settings. It supplies up to 6 channels with 48V/24V phantom power, so you can record with a variety of condenser microphones on vocals, pianos, guitars or drums. You can record up to 8 tracks simultaneously and playback up to 24 tracks in either 16-bit/44.1kHz or 24-bit/48kHz WAV format. So you have enough tracks and power to record everything from complete drum kits to live music performances of bands and orchestras. You can even produce audio and sound effects for film or video.
On its side panels, the R24 also features two built-in stereo condenser microphones for field recording or quick, convenient “sketch-pad” ideas and rehearsals. Use the 8 combination XLR-1/4-inch inputs along with one Hi-Z input for direct connection with a guitar or bass. When your masterwork is ready, you can use over 100 built-in studio effects to enhance your tracks and use the pro-quality mastering effects to complete that studio sound.
It’s an Interface.
The R24 is more than a multi-track recorder. It's also a powerful workstation when using USB power for studio operation. Connect the R24 to your laptop or desktop computer via USB, launch your favorite DAW or use the included Cubase LE 5, and start laying down your production tracks. With simultaneous 8-in/2-out capability, you can record 16-bit/44.1kHz audio or capture high-definition 24-bit/96kHz audio via 2-in/2-out configuration. If you use the sampling rate of 44.1kHz, the internal DSP effects of the R24 are also usable on your computer tracks. Also, a dedicated control lets you adjust the mixing balance between the DAW playback sound and the direct sound for monitoring.
It’s a Controller.
Computers bring incredible control and power to the recording process, but they're not very intuitive when it comes to mixing, which makes your music come alive. So, when you’re ready to mix, the R24 is right there with you. Through a simple USB connection, you can control the transport and mixing functions of major DAW applications such as Cubase, Logic, and Sonar from the R24. No more mixing with a mouse! The R24’s innate mixing console feel and LED meter bridge makes mixing your tracks a pleasure.
And it’s a Sampler!
In addition to assigning sounds to each track to create loops, the R24’s sampler allows you to play the pads in real-time and creates performance data for a complete song by combining loops. By simply lining up drum loops from the included USB memory stick, anyone can easily create pro-quality backing parts and basic tracks. Recording on another track while playing loops is also possible, seamlessly blending the recorder and sampler functions. The rhythm feature can produce backing drum tracks in both real-time and step input, while the metronome settings support the output of a click track to headphones, perhaps to a drummer in a live situation, while the signals from the output jacks are sent to a mixer.
Not only does the R24 offer 400 drum machine patterns to work with, but it includes a USB flash drive containing 500 MB of drum loops recorded by the Grammy Award winning jazz/fusion drummer, Peter Erskine. Peter has recorded a variety of groves specifically for the R24 that will inspire your musical creativity. Also, Big Fish Audio, a top producer of sample libraries, provides the system with 1 GB of drum loops. The focus of the R24’s rhythm library is rock, but also includes jazz, funk, country, bossa nova and hip-hop beats.
Using the R24 for Video Applications
Great for sound effects recording or anyone looking for multiple audio feeds in a remote environment, the R24 is a lightweight, portable solution that supplies phantom power to 6 channels, supporting your use of condenser mics on location video shoots. For media professionals and filmmakers, the R24 makes it easy to record audio with booms, handheld mics or up to 8 lavalieres with wireless setups. In addition, the R24 includes a stereo headphone output for continuous monitoring, while the system’s LED meter bridge provides an easy way to ensure your levels are appropriately set for any given source.
Expand Your Horizons
The R24 comes equipped with a set of built-in high-sensitivity stereo condenser microphones that come in handy for impromptu recordings of natural sound or ambient room audio on location. In addition, sound effects, speeches and dialog can be captured with excellent clarity for post-production use. You can also connect two R24 systems via USB, one designated as the master and the other as the slave, to support synchronized transport operation and recording on 16 tracks simultaneously.
Good to Go with Battery/Phantom Power
Best of all, the R24 will operate with battery power for over 4 hours on 6 standard AA (not included) alkaline batteries for the ultimate in multi-track portability. The R24 is good to go no matter the location of your video shoot. Also, whether on location as a “scratch track” or in the editing studio, video projects typically require additional voiceover tracks. In any such situation, the R24 is ready to perform with its onboard phantom power, high-quality mic preamps and vocal effects.
Post-production – Time is Money
Time is money. And the R24 saves both with its post-production applications. Large amounts of audio can be transferred in no time with the system’s USB 2.0 interface, especially when the video project’s natural sound was recorded on the R24. When being used as a control surface, the R24 serves as a handy audio editing platform for a variety of video editing software packages, most notably Final Cut Pro. During the mastering process, you can sweeten your tracks by using the onboard mixer to create a mix on the fly and bounce it to a stereo master using the built-in mastering effects.
Now, Zoom provides you with everything you need to create professional music recordings from any location by merging a multi-track recorder, audio interface, controller surface and a sampler into the incredible R24.

A Complete Solution For Guitar and Bass Recording!
The Zoom ZFX Stack Package gives you an all-in-one solution for recording guitar and bass on the PC! Using the S2t USB audio interface, you can employ Zoom's potent ZFX software to sculpt your tone in nearly any direction imaginable - the Zoom ZFX Stack Package offers a wealth of legendary amp, cabinet, and stomp box models. Virtually move mics around and tweak your tone just like you would with a real amp - only without the lengthy setup time! For great tones, just plug into the Zoom ZFX Stack Package.
**Sculpt your tone with high-quality models
Zoom's newly developed modeling algorithms use precise analysis of impulse response and frequency response to emulate the sonic characteristics of tubes and transistors found on classic amps. They've also duplicated all the internal circuit processes as well, so you can tweak your tone in exactly the same way as the knobs and switches on the actual amp. For even more tone control, you can move the accurately modeled condenser and dynamic mics to any position: close miking for a grittier sound, or off-cabinet miking for more room ambience. The Zoom ZFX Stack Package includes a host of guitar amp, bass amp, cabinet, microphone, and stomp box models made famous throughout the years of rock history.
**Intuitive to use
With its intuitive user interface, the Zoom ZFX Stack Package's ZFX software is easy to setup and change while you play. Changing amp settings, cabinet layout, mic position and rearranging the stompbox effects is as easy as dragging and dropping. Alter your setup quickly and get immediate results, giving your creativity new sonic territory to explore!
**A host of preset patches
More than 300 tone presets are included, offering a variety of amp, cabinet, mic and effects setting combinations. Choose from vintage rock tones, country, jazz and blues to ultra modern or heavy metal setups with a double-click of your mouse. Zoom's also pre-programmed 50 specific artist sounds from rock, jazz, blues and heavy metal.
**Easily control miking and effects
With ZFX, you have complete control over the mic position within the recording booth. Whether you want a tight, gritty sound from the center of the speaker cone, a smooth sound from the edge of the cone or more room ambience by pulling the mic away from the cabinet, you can get the setting you want. Controlling effects is just as easy - all you need to do is click and drag your mouse to tweak the switches and knobs on each stomp box. Zoom in on an effect by double-clicking on it. By inserting tools such as a splitter or mixer, you can place multiple amps for even more flexible routing.
**Handy built-in tuner
The built-in chromatic tuner lets you quickly tune at any time. Special tunings are on-board and you can drop tune by a semitone or two as well.
**S2t audio interface for more than just guitars
With a cool "amp head" design, the compact S2t USB audio interface looks great on your desktop - though you can use it with more than just guitars and basses. You can also connect vocal mics or keyboards to experience high quality, 24-bit/48 kHz recording resolution - the S2t is complete with phantom power for your condensers. What's more, the Hi-Z input section features a 12AX7 tube, the classic guitar preamp tube. Blending the clarity of solid-state sound with the natural compression and saturation of a vacuum tube, the S2t with ZFX software creates a signature warm tone all its own. The S2t is USB bus-powered, so no extra power supply is necessary.
**Bundled Cubase LE 4 software
Cubase LE 4 is a powerful music production system that can handle recording, editing, and mixing tasks both for audio and for MIDI. It incorporates the same audio engine as the multi-award winning, higher-level version Cubase 4, and is ideal as an entry into computer-based music production. VST plug-in support means that you can get started right away, creating amazing tones to record your guitar or bass using ZFX.
