Tascam Model 12 Analog Mixer

Classic Design with Modern Capabilities

Whether you use it for rehearsal, live shows, or studio production, the TASCAM Model 12 is a great-sounding, easy-to-use multitrack recording solution. The Model 12 boasts a classic analog mixer-style design that’s both intuitive and immediate. Achieve precise control with 60mm faders, while tweaking your tracks with familiar EQ and Aux controls. High-grade preamps ensure top-notch sound that’s easily captured on an internal SD card at 24-bit/48kHz resolution. You also get a generous complement of I/O. Beyond that, DAW integration is a piece of cake, thanks to the Model 12’s built-in 12-in/10-out audio interface. The Model 12 is lightweight yet rugged, and can be transported from studio to stage with confidence, thanks to TASCAM’s legendary reliability.

Flexible routing and onboard effects

If you’ve ever used a small-format analog console or a classic Portastudio, you’ll already be familiar with the Model 12. Take control of your mix with 60mm faders, then tweak your tracks to perfection with 3-band EQs. Shape your output with a 3-band master EQ. Achieve great sound right from the start, thanks to eight high-grade mic preamps with +48V phantom power. You also get a full complement of I/O for integrating your instruments and outboard gear. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the Model 12’s old-school approach — no menu diving necessary!

You also get flexible routing and onboard effects. The Model 12 offers easy standalone multitrack recording at its best.
