<h3>Dual-Signal Path Design</h3>
The 2448 is a “dual-channel” or “in-line” console. Each channel strip provides two independent, discrete audio paths for multitrack recording and mixing. The Large Fader path (input and tracking) and the Small Fader path (playback & monitoring). Using the Program Bus to combine these 2 paths with the 4 Stereo Returns provides 56 channels of audio for mixdown. Contained within the 648C channel module, either path can be used for tracking or mixing, depending on your needs.

<h3>Final Touch™ Automation (Optional - Contact RSPE Audio For Details)</h3>
Final Touch automation combines system reliability, user flexibility and operational simplicity and offers a host of features found only in the most expensive and sophisticated console automation systems typically costing many times more. Consoles can be factory-fitted with Final Touch automation prior to delivery, and existing 2448 consoles can be retrofitted with Final Touch automation.
<br/><br/>
New: In addition to the 2448, API's Final Touch automation systems are available for the flagship Vision console, the Legacy AXS, and the 1608-II. This allows for mix files to be easily transferred across any of these API console products.
