The TASCAM Sonicview 16XP 16-Channel Digital Mixing Console and Multitrack Recorder offers motorised channel faders in two banks of eight, plus a motorised stereo fader for the main bus. Above each bank of channel faders is a color touch panel that allows you to view entire mixer channels, or get down to details, controlling each parameter with your fingertip.
The Amazing VIEW
Truly the next generation in mixer user interfaces, the powerful intuitive TASCAM Visual Interactive Ergonomic Workflow (VIEW) system lets you quickly and easily configure the TASCAM Sonicview 16XP's two touch screens.
Thanks to the VIEW user interface, there are three different ways to view your settings, and each touch screen can be configured independently, so you can monitor and control any combination of settings you want, in whichever screens you want, whenever you want. For instance, you could monitor levels for eight channels of vocals on screen 1, while tweaking the parametric EQ on a drum submix on screen 2.
High-end Audio Quality
TASCAM Sonicview delivers the finest audio performance in its class, thanks to a 54-bit float-point FPGA mixing engine; continuous, high-definition 32-bit/96 kHz sampling; and 32-bit analog-to-digital converters. The mixing engine's float-point processing makes it possible to flexibly change levels without compromising resolution and FPGA mixing engine make it possible to ensures ultra-low latency, even in analog-to-analog connections. The result is no-compromises performance, including with Dante networks and in-line monitoring systems.
Input Channels and Processing
The TASCAM Sonicview 16XP offers 16 channels with XLR mic/line inputs or 8 channels with both XLR mic inputs and balanced TRS line inputs. You also get TRS insert points on two channels, two stereo pairs of RCA aux inputs, and an XLR input for a talkback mic.
There's much more to TASCAM Sonicview than meets the eye. Internally, TASCAM Sonicview recording mixers have a generous 40 mono channels, 2 stereo and 4 stereo FX return channels channels so you can fly in backing tracks to make a small praise band sound huge, accommodate additional physical audio inputs via the expansion slots for larger ensembles, manage sources from every part of a venue via the Dante network, and mix dozens of DAW tracks. Eight DCAs enable you to easily control groups of channels. The programmable layer keys select which custom combination of channels and output buses are controlled by the motorised faders.
Top-of-the Line Class 1 HDIA Mic Preamps
Each TASCAM Sonicview microphone input feeds a TASCAM Class 1 HDIA (High Definition Instrumentation Architecture) preamp—the finest mic preamp we've ever made. Thanks to an instrumentation amplifier with extremely good noise characteristics in the first stage, Class 1 HDIA microphone preamps exhibit excellent EIN, signal-to-noise ratio, distortion ratio, and frequency response. TASCAM Sonicview ultra definition mic preamps will pick up the slightest nuance from rosin on a violin bow to the subtle dynamic changes of a voice or saxophone. The mic inputs can accept up to +32 dBu signals, providing plenty of headroom for sudden level increases.
The combination of Class 1 HDIA preamps, 32-bit/96 kHz ADCs, and our 54-bit FPGA mixing engine is impressive but we didn't stop there: We conducted extensive internal and external evaluations to tune TASCAM Sonicview recording mixers for optimal performance. The result is best-in-class sound that will never disappoint.
