Tascam SONICVIEW 16XP Live Mixing Station w/Multi-Track Recording

Intuitive Operation at Your Fingertips

The TASCAM Sonicview 16XP offers motorized channel faders in two banks of eight, plus a motorized 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.

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.

Channel Strip View

Channel Strip View lets you monitor and control eight adjacent channels, and view them as virtual channel strips like an analog mixer layout.

Module View

Module View lets you monitor and control any two sets of parameters simultaneously for one single channel.

Individual View

Individual View lets you monitor and control a custom selection of functions for any channel or group of channels.
