Classic sound, revived - A professional hybrid console, combining the warmth of analog and the latest modern technologies
Tascam has always created recording solutions that are becoming standards: the 8-track Tascam 38 tape, the modular digital multitrack DA-88, and the legendary family of Portastudios, real portable integrated studios on analog cassette then hard drive. Today, Tascam is reinventing its heritage, combining the classic sound of analog consoles with the latest audio technologies: Here is the brand new live console with multitrack recorder, the Model 16.
Whether in rehearsal, in concert or in production, the Model 16 is an ideal mix: multitrack recorder, mixing console and audio interface. This triple-function hybrid recording console is the result of an evolution perfectly in line with the current requirements of the world of music.
A simple and intuitive design
Suddenly it is enough to understand what is happening: the Model 16 has been developed to be simple and intuitive to use, for everyone. Its physical 100 mm stroke faders ensure precise level adjustment, the 7-band stereo graphic equalizer is easily accessible to work on the mixing spectrum, the Mon send equalizer potentiometers are familiar and the input / output connectors are all located on the console's work surface for quick and easy access.
Revolutionary Tascam recording technology
The Model 16 allows the user to record directly to SD card, 16 tracks in 48 kHz / 24 bit, and allows recording in / out (punch in / out) on 8 tracks at a time. Thanks to the revolutionary Tascam audio emotor technology, the console can also play 14 tracks simultaneously from an SD card. The 10 high-end Tascam microphone preamps guarantee a sound of absolute purity.
Flexible connectivity
The Model 16 offers 14 analog inputs: 14 balanced channels (divided into 10 mono channels and 4 stereo channels) and 1 unbalanced stereo input. In addition, the Model 16 connects to your favorite audio workstation software via USB. You can also connect your smartphone to it, via Bluetooth ™, to recover a streaming audio signal, whether it is to work on a song during rehearsal or to broadcast percussive music on hold in order to make your audience wait before you arrive on stage.
Longevity and reliability
The console is lightweight - it is easily transported from a studio to a rehearsal room or concert venue, wherever you actually want to work, and the well-known reliability of Tascam equipment ensures that the Model 16 will perform perfectly anywhere. Model 16: Save. Mix.
