The TASCAM Model 16 is an all-in-one analog mixer, multi-track digital recorder, and USB audio interface. Compact enough for a small studio yet powerful enough for live performances, rehearsals, or full production sessions, the Model 16 merges the warmth of analog with a clean digital workflow. It's a versatile recording and mixing solution that delivers professional features without breaking your budget.
Everything You Need to Record, Mix, and Go
Connecting gear shouldn't be a puzzle. The Model 16 simplifies everything with 14 top-panel inputs for mics, instruments, and even a Bluetooth device — no adapter-hunting required. The channel strips give you hands-on control without menu-diving. Each has a tactile gain knob, a 1-knob compressor, a sweepable 3-band EQ, and an input selector to flip between live sources, USB, or the internal recorder. It’s a workflow so smooth it makes you feel like a pro, even when you're just winging it.
10 Mic / 14 Line / 2 Instrument Inputs: A versatile setup for recording a full band, podcast, or overdub session without compromise.
Ultra-HDDA Mic Preamps: Delivers clean, transparent, and natural tone, because nobody wants coloration they didn't ask for.
Hands-On Controls: Features a 1-knob compressor, 3-band EQ, and a three-position input selector for a workflow that keeps you in the creative zone.
Record a Full Session, No Computer Needed
The Model 16 isn't just a mixer; it’s a full 16-track recorder. It captures 14 inputs plus the stereo mix directly to an SD card at 24-bit/48 kHz. No extra software, no awkward handshakes between devices — just hit record. Need to fix a bum note or stack some harmonies? Punch-ins and overdubs are just as simple, letting you build a full production without ever leaving the mixer. When you're done, transfer tracks directly to your computer.
Simultaneous 16-Track Capture: Records all 14 inputs and the main mix at once to an SD card in broadcast quality.
Punch-In/Out and Overdubs: Easily correct mistakes or layer new parts, making it perfect for both live capture and studio work.
USB Audio Interface: Doubles as a 16-in/14-out interface with ridiculously low latency, so you won't feel like you're performing in an echo chamber.
Polish Your Mix with Pro-Level Routing and Effects
A good mixer grows with you, and the Model 16 is built for the long haul. It offers serious routing flexibility with three AUX buses for monitors and effects, a Sub bus for an extra stereo output, and 16 built-in multi-effects like reverb, delay, and chorus. To top it off, a 4-band master EQ lets you fine-tune your final mix for the room. It’s a complete mixing platform that’s equally at home on a club stage or in a detailed studio session.
3 AUX Buses (MON1, MON2, FX): Easily route audio to stage monitors, headphone mixes, or outboard gear.
16 Built-In Multi-Effects: Add polish to your sound with editable effects, controllable via footswitch for live performances.
4-Band Master EQ: Shape your final mix with a sweepable mid-range, assignable to the main or monitor outputs for a tight, professional sound.
The All-In-One Hub Your Studio Needs
The TASCAM Model 16 is a rare piece of gear that genuinely earns the all-in-one label. It records, mixes, interfaces, and monitors — all from one compact, thoughtfully designed surface that costs a fraction of what it would take to assemble those capabilities separately.
Whether your room is a professional studio, a rehearsal space, a house of worship, or a corner of your apartment that you have convinced yourself counts as a studio, the Model 16 brings serious functionality without demanding serious square footage or a serious loan.
