Description
The Tascam Sonicview 16 is a high powered mixing desk with motorised faders per channel, assignable function keys and a state of the art triple screen design.
The Tascam Sonicview 16 offers motorised channel faders in three banks of eight, plus a motorised fader for the main stereo bus. Above each bank of channel faders is a colour touch panel that allows you to view entire mixer channels, or get down to details, controlling each parameter with your fingertip. Save fader settings and instantly recall them later to continue where you left off. Check levels in a mix or submix at a glance and adjust them during mixdown with either the physical faders or the touchscreen. Your changes will be instantly updated in both.
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.
There’s much more to Sonicview than meets the eye. Internally, these recording consoles have a generous 40 mono channels and two stereo channels so you can fly-in backing tracks to make a small vocal band sound huge. You can also 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. Programmable layer keys select which custom combination of channels and output buses are controlled by the motorised faders. Start working on a mix, save your fader settings, and continue mixing later – thanks to the motor faders, you’ll pick up exactly where you left off.
Key Features:
- Built-In USB Audio Interface and Stereo Recording:
The built in 32-in-32-out USB audio interface allows you to capture every channel into your DAW of choice. This is fantastic for bands and engineers looking to high quality audio for live performance releases but also for studios. This also gives the ability of virtual soundchecks, in the unlucky event that a band member is caught up or there’s not enough time to do a soundcheck, stream the recording of a previous show to the same channels and compete a soundcheck so it’s tweaks when the band comes on rather than a full line check. Lastly, the desks main out can be recorded to the front SD card slot as a stereo mix. - Dante-Enabled For Superior Networking:
dante audio-over-IP networks integrate thousands of concert touring systems, as well as installed systems in recording studios, radio stations, corporate boardrooms, houses of worship, and much more.Sonicview consoles can serve as the audio center of these systems, thanks to a built-in 64-in/64-out Dante interface that supports Dante Domain Manager and have AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 interoperability. Two Dante ports enable redundant streams. - It’s a lovely VIEW:
Visual Interactive Ergonomic Workflow, or VIEW for short allows you to work the way you want with three different set ups:
1. Channel Strip: Monitor and control eight adjacent channels and view them as virtual channel strips like on an analogue mixer.
2. Module View: Monitor and control any three sets of parameters for one single channel.
3. Individual View: Monitor and control a selection of functions for any channel or group of channels. - Remote Control and Offline Editing:
Wherever you are, fixing an issue or just checking the mix if you can’t put the console at the centre of the room, you can remain in control of your mix. Use an iPad to control the mix from anywhere. With the motorized faders your mix will be where you left it when you return to the desk.
