Tascam Model 12 Multitrack Recorder w/ Integrated USB Audio Interface & Analog Mixer

The TASCAM Model 12 brings professional-grade recording, mixing, and podcasting capabilities into one remarkably compact unit that fits seamlessly into any creative workspace. This all-in-one integrated mixer serves music creators, songwriters, performers, and podcasters with its critically acclaimed 12-track recorder that captures WAV files at up to 24-bit/48 kHz quality directly to SD card. The intuitive internal recording system supports essential functions like metronome, punch-in/out, and overdubbing, while the USB Type-C connector allows direct computer connection for DAW integration. Basic external DAW control using HUI/MCU protocol emulation provides tactile control over faders, mutes, pans, solos, and transport functions across most major digital audio workstations.

Built specifically with podcasters and live streamers in mind, the Model 12 incorporates specialised features including mix-minus functionality, dedicated smartphone input, Bluetooth 5.0 pairing, and dual headphone monitoring capabilities. The unit’s multiple mic-ready channels and internal multi-track recording make it an ideal choice for versatile live production work and USB audio interface applications. A dedicated click output with TAP TEMPO function allows tempo monitoring in both live and recording environments, while standard MIDI in/out connectors enable connection with keyboards, drum machines, controllers, and other MIDI-equipped devices for synchronised operation.

The Model 12’s audio quality stems from TASCAM’s Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamps, which achieve an impressive EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) of -128dB for natural, low-noise sound reproduction. The comprehensive input section includes 8 XLR mic inputs with +48V phantom power support, 10 TRS line inputs, Hi-Z line level inputs on all channels for direct instrument connection, plus the 3.5mm TRRS smartphone input and Bluetooth connectivity. The familiar control surface features 60mm faders, 1-knob compressor, 3-band EQ, and TASCAM’s high-quality reverb effects, while selectable PFL/AFL modes and solo in place (SIP) functionality provide flexible monitoring options for dialling in the perfect mix.
