PRODUCT OVERVIEW\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0;\"\u003eThe TASCAM Model 16 scales up the hybrid analogue-digital console concept of the Model series to accommodate a larger working band or ensemble, combining a 14-channel analogue mixer, a 16-track internal digital recorder, and a 16-in\/14-out USB audio interface in a single desktop chassis. Designed for project studios, band rehearsal spaces, and small-to-medium live venues, the Model 16 makes a deliberate trade against its smaller sibling: it sets aside the Model 12's HUI\/MCU DAW control features in favour of a deeper, more tactile analogue routing workflow and a substantially larger channel count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0;\"\u003eThe preamplification stage is built around 10 Ultra HDDA microphone preamps — eight on Channels 1 through 8, plus two further stereo-paired preamps on Channels 9\/10 and 11\/12 — each characterised by very low noise and high transparency. Combined with the two stereo-paired TRS line inputs, the console's total input capacity reaches 14 analogue channels, giving a working band enough simultaneous inputs to track a full rehearsal or live set without submixing sources together before they reach the console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0;\"\u003eWhere the Model 16 distinguishes itself most clearly is in its channel-strip processing, which is entirely analogue rather than DSP-emulated. The first eight channels carry intuitive one-knob compressors, and every channel offers a 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid-range for surgical frequency shaping — features aimed squarely at an engineer who wants to shape a mix by ear at the console rather than inside a plug-in window. This analogue processing sits ahead of a purely digital-transport back end: the internal SD card recorder captures 16 simultaneous tracks (the 14 discrete analogue inputs plus the main left\/right stereo mix) directly to SDHC or SDXC media at a choice of 16-bit or 24-bit depth and 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sample rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0;\"\u003eFor studio integration, the Model 16's USB audio interface uses TASCAM's dedicated driver to achieve extremely low latency, configurable down to a 4-sample buffer, making it viable for real-time tracking directly into an external DAW. A per-channel Mode switch lets engineers route USB returns from a connected computer back through the console's analogue EQs and 100mm faders, enabling tactile analogue summing of digital stems — effectively turning the Model 16 into an analogue mixing surface for a DAW-based session whenever that workflow is preferred over mixing entirely in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #E8E8E8; margin: 28px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: 700; color: #0D1B3E; border-bottom: 2px solid #006D77; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003e2.

Ten of these carry TASCAM's Ultra HDDA preamp circuit — eight independent mono preamps on Channels 1–8, plus the two stereo pairs on 9\/10 and 11\/12 — giving the console enough independently gain-staged inputs to mic a full drum kit and band without doubling sources onto a shared channel. Channels 1 and 2 additionally provide Hi-Z instrument inputs, so a bass or guitar can be plugged in directly, and the same two channels carry TRS insert send\/return points for patching in outboard hardware processing ahead of the analogue-to-digital conversion stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0;\"\u003eGain on the Ultra HDDA preamps is adjustable across a 0 to 50 dB range, with a maximum input level of +10 dBu and a nominal input level of -8 dBu at the mic input, and an input impedance of 1.8 kΩ. This gain range and impedance profile is tuned for a wide variety of live and studio microphones, from dynamic drum and guitar-amp mics through to condensers on vocals and overheads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #E8E8E8; margin: 28px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: 700; color: #0D1B3E; border-bottom: 2px solid #006D77; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003ePREAMP AND CONVERTER SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 18px 0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #0D1B3E;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 14px; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #0D1B3E;\"\u003eSPECIFICATION\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 14px; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #0D1B3E;\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #F7F7F7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain Adjustable Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;\"\u003e0 to 50 dB (Mic IN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Input Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;\"\u003e+10 dBu (Mic IN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #F7F7F7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Input Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;\"\u003e-8 dBu (Mic IN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;\"\u003e1.8 kΩ (Mic IN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #F7F7F7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSampling Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;\"\u003e44.1 kHz \/ 48 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBit Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;\"\u003e16-bit \/ 24-bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #E8E8E8; margin: 28px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: 700; color: #0D1B3E; border-bottom: 2px solid #006D77; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003e3.

PRODUCT CONTEXT: MODEL 16 VS. SIBLING MODELS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0;\"\u003eThe Model 16 sits directly between the Model 12 and the Model 24 in TASCAM's hybrid console range, and the trade-off it makes is deliberate: it sacrifices the Model 12's HUI\/MCU DAW transport control to provide a substantially wider analogue footprint — 10 mic preamps and 14 analogue inputs against the Model 12's 8 preamps and 10 inputs — along with genuinely analogue channel processing (one-knob compressors, sweepable 3-band EQ) rather than the Model 12's more DAW-integration-focused feature set. Compared with the Model 24, the Model 16 offers a smaller footprint and lower channel count (16-track versus 24-track recording, 14 versus 22 analogue inputs) at a correspondingly smaller physical size and lower weight, making it the natural choice for a band or small venue that needs more inputs than the Model 12 provides but does not require the Model 24's full-band, large-ensemble I\/O capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shivansh Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53402631995759,"sku":"tascam-model-16","price":88000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/4766\/0399\/files\/TASCAM-MODEL-16-SHIVANSH-ELECTRONICS-KOLKATA-THUMBNAIL.png?v=1788086050","url":"https:\/\/shivanshelectronics.in\/products\/recording-mixers-tascam-model-16","provider":"Shivansh Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
