General

The Tascam Model 16 is an all-in-one mixer that's based on the Model 24 but comes in a slightly smaller jacket. It's the perfect solution for small studio or live performance mixing applications since this mixing desk offers full analogue warmth plus the possibility to go digital. The Model 16 features a multi-track recorder, USB audio-interface, internal effects, clear mixing functionality, extensive routing options and Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming!

Sublime Audio Quality

This 16-channel mixer is equipped with 14 flexible inputs for all of your microphones, instruments and various other sound sources. Mic inputs 1 to 8 include Tascam's Ultra High Definition Discrete Architecture technology for pure, transparent and natural tone and an interference-free signal. At the push of a button, you can activate the low-cut filter to take any annoying grumble out of the signal and/or the in-line compressor and as a result, lift vocal quality to unprecedented heights.

Powerful 16-Track Digital Recorder

To optimally route your audio, you can use the three AUX buses (Monitor 1/Monitor 2/ Effects) to create three different mixes for stage monitoring applications or to accommodate any external gear such as outboard effects, signal processors, headphones mixers and more. There's a sub-group on-board with an additional stereo line-output to hook up an extra amp and you're even given the possibility to record your main mix directly to USB or SD media in crystal-clear 48 kHz/24-bit quality!
