Tascam 16 Multitrack Live Recording Console

The TASCAM Model 16 delivers professional recording and mixing capabilities in a compact, affordable package that bridges the gap between analogue warmth and digital workflow efficiency. This all-in-one mixer combines a 16-track multi-track recorder, USB audio interface, comprehensive effects processing, and Bluetooth connectivity to create the perfect solution for small format live performances, recording sessions, and production environments.

At its core, the Model 16 features 14 accessible top-panel inputs with flexible connectivity options, including 10 Mic/Line inputs and 2 instrument inputs, plus a Bluetooth 5.0 enabled stereo input channel with RCA and 1/8" connections. The first eight mic inputs utilise TASCAM's Ultra-HDDA technology for pristine audio quality with ultra-low noise, while each channel includes tactile gain controls, push-button Lo-Cut filters, and a three-position input selector for Live/PC/MTR sources. Professional features extend to 1-knob inline compression on inputs 1-8, sweepable 3-band EQ, and comprehensive routing through 3 AUX buses and PFL Listen functionality.

The internal 16-track multi-track recorder captures 14 inputs plus 2 main mix tracks simultaneously to SD card at 24-bit/48 kHz quality, perfect for recording live performances, rehearsals, or overdub sessions with punch-in/out capability. The built-in USB audio interface provides 16 input/14 output connectivity at the same high-quality sampling rate, with TASCAM's new generation USB driver offering buffer sizes as low as 4 samples for extremely low latency recording. The versatile effects section includes 16 editable multi-effects with reverb, delay, chorus, and flange options, plus a 4-band EQ with sweepable mid-range that can be assigned to main or monitor outputs as required.
