TASCAM Model 16

Classic Design with Modern Capabilities

Whether you use it for rehearsal, live shows, or studio production, the TASCAM Model 16 is a great-sounding, easy-to-use multitrack recording solution. The Model 16 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 16’s built-in 16-in/14-out audio interface. The Model 16 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 16. Take control of your mix with 60mm faders, then tweak your tracks to perfection with 3-band EQs. Shape your output with a 4-band master EQ. Achieve great sound right from the start, thanks to 10 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 16’s old-school approach — no menu diving necessary!

Easy standalone multitrack recording

Recording with the TASCAM Model 16 is a breeze. Capture up to 16 simultaneous tracks (channels 1–14 plus stereo master) directly to SD card at 24-bit/48kHz resolution, with the ability to overdub up to eight tracks at the same time. You also get flexible routing and onboard effects. The Model 16 offers easy standalone multitrack recording at its best.

The perfect analog front-end for your DAW

The Model 16 does way more than simply let you move recorded tracks to and from a DAW. Rather, it functions as a full-blown 16-in/14-out USB audio interface, complete with premium-quality preamps and onboard compression. And when it’s time to mix, you can either work in-the-box, or route tracks back through the Model 16 for 14 channels of hands-on control and genuine analog vibe.
