14 Inputs for Complete Flexibility
direct connectivity14 easy-to-access top-panel inputs give you flexible options for microphones, instruments or other audio sources. You can connect up to 10 mics, 14 line signals or two instruments for live recording or mixing.
There is also a Bluetooth 5.0 enabled stereo input for a streaming audio device that also provides (selectable) RCA connectors and a stereo mini jack for direct connection of CD player or mobile playback device.
Professional Channel Strip Control Features
Pristine Audio QualityMic inputs 1 through 8 provide pristine audio quality, featuring Tascam’s Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) technology for pure, transparent natural tone with ultra-low noise.
A tactile Gain knob at the top of each channel enables precise tweaking of input levels. A push-button low-cut filter and three-position input selector (Live/PC/MTR) facilitate quick and easy control of input source signals. A 1-knob inline compressor is available on inputs 1–8 as is a 3-band EQ with sweepable mid range.
Powerful Internal 16-Track Digital Recorder
pristine qualityThe Model 16’s multi-track section features a powerful internal 16-track digital recorder, capturing 14 input signals and the main stereo mix simultaneously to an internal SD card in pristine 48-kHz/24-bit quality.
Record anything from live performance to rehearsals, worship events, spoken word and meetings. You can also perform overdubs and punch-in/out quickly and easily. You can also use an optional footswitch for hands-free operation of selected functions. Recorded tracks can be immediately mixed, mastered or exported to a computer for further editing, formatting and publishing.
High-Quality Internal Audio Interface
ultimate efficiencyA built-in USB audio interface with 16 inputs and 14 outputs captures audio at a sampling rate of 48 kHz and with 24-bit resolution for recording or playing back from an external DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
The new-generation Tascam USB driver allows a minimum size of the audio buffer which can be set to as low as four samples. This results in extremely low latency and the highest level of efficiency when recording audio.
Maximum Audio Routing Possibilities and Monitoring
additional versatilityThree Aux busses (Monitor 1, Monitor 2 (pre/post) and Effects) and PFL (Pre Fader Listen) complete the Model 16’s pro-level signal path routing options. A Sub group provides an additional pair of stereo line outputs which can be used to drive an additional amplifier, for example.
The three Aux outs let you route audio signals for stage monitoring, or to external gear such as outboard effects, signal processors or headphone mixes. And an additional Control Room output with individual level fader can be used to drive a pair of powered studio monitors.
Pristine Audio Quality & Unmatched Workflow
Versatile Input CapabilityUsing the channel Mode switch, each channel can select the input source as needed. This allows for a super flexible input configuration to be selected where some inputs can be live, other inputs can play tracks from the internal multi-track recorder, while other inputs can play tracks from a computer via USB, all simultaneously.
16 Editable Multi-EffectsThe Model 16’s versatile effects section offers 16 editable and foot-controllable multi-effects, including reverb, delay, chorus, flanger and others. Each effect allows one parameter to be changed using the menu. The selected effect can be mixed to the main stereo output using its dedicated fader and can also be applied to monitor busses 1 and 2.
4-Band Master EQA four-band equalizer with two (wide/narrow Q) sweepable mid-bands can be dialed in for crafting the perfect mix. You can assign this EQ to the main outs or monitor 1/2 outs just as you wish.
For Live Streaming of Musical Performances
Talk Shows, and Podcast Production
Optimally preparedModel 16 offers a USB stereo mix mode that makes podcast recording or broadcasting convenient and easy. All you need for this is a laptop or tablet computer or a smartphone with a suitable streaming application. Background music or other audio signals can also be fed from your computer or smartphone into Model 16 to be combined with live signals. The mixed sound will then transfer back to the computer for recording or streaming.
