TASCAM has a long history of high-quality digital mixers, culminating with the legendary DM-4800, a workhorse mixer that set a new standard. With TASCAM Sonicview, TASCAM has created an entirely new line of digital mixing consoles that incorporate the latest technology and make it easy to see and control all of the parameters you want, when you want, with completely customizable touch screens and user-definable buttons, along with motorized faders and intuitive control software.

TASCAM Sonicview mixing 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 I/O. No-compromise audio quality, including 54-bit float-point FPGA mixing, combines with ample signal processing, an expansion slot for additional connectivity, and wireless remote control to make TASCAM Sonicview mixers a next-generation choice for touring, installed sound, recording studios, and broadcasting.

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 16'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.

• To view the status of any eight adjacent channels at a glance, as you would see on vertical channel strips with an analog mixer, choose Channel Strip View.
• In Module View, you can monitor and control any two sets of parameters for one single channel, including the compressor, graphic EQ, effects send, and more.
• Individual View is the ultimate in customized displays. View any functions for any channel, group of channels, and more—all on different screens, simultaneously. For instance, you could simultaneously monitor the output bus meter on screen 1, and monitor levels on important input channels on screen 2.

Module View

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

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.

Channel Control and Processing

There's much more to TASCAM Sonicview than meets the eye. Internally, TASCAM Sonicview 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 motorized faders.
Each input channel can use any or all of 11 processing functions, which can be independently set:

Built-in USB Audio Interface and Stereo Recording

TASCAM Sonicview's integrated 32-in/32-out USB audio interface makes it a first-rate front end for recording and broadcast studios, as well as for capturing live events. Record your choice of channel direct outs, flex buses, and the L/R main bus to your favorite DAW at up to 96 kHz with the same 32-bit precision used throughout the TASCAM Sonicview.

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. TASCAM 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.

Work Quickly with Function Keys

TASCAM Sonicview offers intuitive, analog-like operation, while providing a variety of convenient digital functions that can be customized as needed. Eighteen user-defined function keys can be assigned to recording with the internal recorder, playback, and more. Several keys are conveniently preassigned to functions such as Sends On Fader and Snapshot Recall but you can reassign them as desired. A footswitch (not included) can be used to tap in delay-time settings.

An additional monitor bus system and OSC/talkback capability add more versatility for broadcast and monitoring applications (supported in V1.5.0)

Two monitor buses are now available with V1.5.0, Monitor 1 and Monitor 2. Each monitor section comes with 6 switchable monitor source presets with essential functions such as MUTE/DIMMER. In addition, a location setting has been added to automatically mute the monitor speakers when in the same enclosed space as a live microphone.
Input sources can be freely assigned in the talkback section. Also, outputs can now be directly assigned into each bus or monitor, or to output routers. All of these settings and OSC on/off settings can be assigned to, and controlled by USER keys for quick control a variety of broadcast system and monitoring environments.
