Design

Whether you are a beginner or a professional - the design of the Tascam Model 16 is clear and intuitive and guarantees a short familiarisation phase. All controls are located on the top of the console for quick and easy access. 100 mm faders allow precise level adjustments, while the built-in EQs serve to "clean up" or refine the sound image. Even the input and output connectors can be conveniently reached from the top edge, so you don't have to leave your post when checking and connecting cables.

Recording made easy

Model 16 allows the use of SD cards, with which you can record 16 tracks simultaneously in 24-bit and 48 kHZ format. 8 of the available tracks also allow punch-ins and punch-outs. The 10 built-in, high-quality Tascam microphone preamps ensure the best possible, undistorted sound. But it's not just the recording that plays a major role: thanks to Tascam's recording technology, 16 tracks can be played back simultaneously from an SD card.

Versatile connection options

The user has a total of 14 versatile analogue inputs, consisting of 12 balanced inputs (eight mono and two stereo) and one unbalanced stereo input. In addition, there is a USB port for connecting the console to your favourite DAW. It can also be paired with smartphones via Bluetooth to stream music for rehearsals, for example, or to get the audience in the mood before the show starts.

Effects processor

The mixer's summing section is designed for quick, intuitive use during live performance and recording, and features a built-in effects processor in addition to the first-class 100 mm faders for the stereo sum, both monitor paths and the subgroup with mute and assign. This allows you to add reverb, delay, chorus, flanger and other effects to one or more source signals and the sum. In addition, an assignable four-band EQ (stereo sum or monitor path) provides the necessary fine tuning.

Robust & Reliable

Even though the Model 16 is a lightweight, it is and remains a robust companion designed for the rough and tumble of live performance. Whether in the studio, in the rehearsal room or in the performance venue - this mixer does it all.
