Tascam Model 16 The TASCAM Model 16 all-in-one mixer takes the powerful recording and mixing features and functionality of the Model 24 to a new level of compactness and affordability, creating a small-format mixer with all the features that combines the warmth of analog with a digital workflow. The Model 16 is the perfect mixing solution for small-format performance, recording, and live production environments, with a multitrack recorder, USB audio interface, effects, comprehensive routing and mixing capabilities, and wireless Bluetooth.

The easily accessible 14 top-panel inputs offer flexible options for microphones or instrument connections, including 10 Mic / 14 Line / 2 Inst to allow easy access to connect microphones, instruments, or other audio sources for live recording or mixing. A Bluetooth 5.0-enabled stereo input source channel also provides RCA stereo and 1/8" stereo (selectable) connectors to transmit the audio device's level control.

Microphone inputs 1 through 8 offer flawless audio quality, with TASCAM's Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) technology for a pure, transparent, ultra-low-noise natural tone. A tactile gain knob tops each channel to precisely adjust input levels. A buttoned Lo-Cut filter and a three-position input selector (Live / PC / MTR) facilitate quick and precise control of the input source signals. A 1-knob in-line compressor is available on inputs 1-8, as well as a swappable 3-band midrange equalizer.

3 auxiliary buses (MON1, MON2 [pre / post], FX) and PFL Listen complete the Model 16's professional-level signal path routing options. A submaster bus provides an additional stereo output source to the master SEND section.

The 3 AUX outputs allow you to route the audio signal for stage monitoring or to external equipment such as external effects, signal processors, or headphone mixes. And the pedal control connector provides additional monitoring and control features.

The Model 16 MTR section features a powerful 16-track internal multitrack recorder, which captures 14 inputs and 2 simultaneous main audio mix tracks on an internal SD card with pristine 24-bit / 48 kHz quality. Record anything from live performances to rehearsals, worship events, speeches, and meetings, as well as perform dubbing and quick and easy inputs / outputs.

Recorded tracks can be mixed, mastered, or exported immediately to a computer for subsequent editing, formatting, and publishing.
