Tascam Model 16

The Tascam Model 16 takes the powerful recording and mixing capabilities of its big brother, the Model 24, to a new level of compactness and affordability. The result is a full-fledged compact mixer that combines the warmth of analog with the benefits of a digital workflow. With its built-in multitrack recorder and USB audio interface, as well as extensive mixing and routing functions with effects and Bluetooth connectivity, the Model 16 is the perfect solution for small-scale live events as well as smaller recording and production environments.

14 easily accessible inputs on the top panel provide flexible options for connecting microphones, instruments and other audio sources. You can connect up to 10 microphones, 14 line signals or two instruments for live recording or mixing. A Bluetooth-5.0-capable stereo input also lets you play music from a smartphone or other streaming audio device, or alternatively use a CD player or other mobile playback device as a player via RCA or stereo mini jack.

In microphone inputs 1-8, Tascam's microphone preamps with Ultra-HDDA technology (High Definition Discrete Architecture) provide pure, transparent and natural sound with extremely low noise.
