Tascam Model 16 All-in-One Mixing Studio

The Tascam Model 16 is primarily an analog mixer that not only sounds great in live sound situations, but also includes an integrated MULTI-TRACK recorder onboard (records to standard SD cards). The Model 16 can also connect to a computer via USB for use as a "front end" to a DAW, or to be used as a summing mixer when your project is ready for mix-down. Either way, the Model 16 adds a warmth and depth that can only be found in a high-quality analog mixer. The Model 16 can be rack mounted (rack kit sold separately), and features 12 HDDA mic pres along with line level inputs and even a Bluetooth enabled channel.

In short, you won t find a more versatile mixer on the market. If you want to record great sounding "board tapes" of your band, you have come to the right place, but the Model 16 is just as at home in the studio if you are looking for simple, analog operation and are tired of paging through menus.
