The Tascam Sonicview 16 is a digital mixing console with 2 touch screens, 16ch mic-pre, 44in/24bus Dante and USB audio interface and optional multitrack recording capability.
Sonicview recording consoles integrate beautifully with the rest of your system, thanks to built-in Dante networking, a 32-bit/96-kHz multi-channel USB audio interface and plenty of inputs and outputs. No-compromise audio quality and a 54-bit floating-point FPGA mixing engine combines with ample signal processing, an expansion slot for additional connectivity and wireless remote control to make Sonicview mixers the next-generation choice for recording studios, remote recording, touring, installed sound and broadcasting.
High-End Audio Quality : Thanks to a 54-bit floating-point FPGA mixing engine, Tascam Sonicview delivers the finest audio performance in its class with continuous, high-definition 32-bit/96-kHz sampling and 32-bit analogue-to-digital converters. The mixing engine’s float-point processing makes it possible to flexibly change levels without compromising resolution, while ensuring ultra-low latency, even in analogue-to-analogue connections. The result is no-compromises performance, including with Dante networks and in-line monitoring systems, for pristine tracking, mixing, and playback.
Top-of-the-Line Sound With Class 1 HDIA Mic Preamps : Each microphone input feeds a Tascam Class 1 HDIA (High Definition Instrumentation Architecture) preamp – the finest mic preamplifier we’ve ever made. Thanks to an instrumentation amplifier with extraordinary good noise characteristics in the first stage, these microphone preamps exhibit excellent equivalent input noise (EIN), signal-to-noise ratio, distortion ratio and frequency response. The ultra-definition mic preamps used in Sonicview will pick up and record the slightest nuance from rosin on a violin bow to the subtle dynamic changes of a voice or saxophone. The microphone inputs can handle signal levels up to +32 dBu, 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 Tascam didn’t stop there: We conducted extensive internal and external evaluations to tune the Sonicview consoles for optimal performance. The result is best-in-class sound that will never disappoint for mixing and recording both live or in the studio.
Internal 64x64 Dante interface with two ports to enable redundant streams.
The Music Never Stops : Your business depends on reliable equipment that will stay in service with minimal interruptions, and we designed Sonicview consoles accordingly. Sonicview’s recording and mixing engine and real-time operating system are completely separated from the physical mixing surface, greatly improving stability. In the unlikely event that the mixing surface becomes inoperable, the sound won’t stop, and operation can be restored by restarting the control surface operating system. Meanwhile, the show will go on.
