Powered by a 96 kHz, 54-bit floating-point FPGA mixing engine utilizing 96 kHz / 32-bit AD/DA converters, the Tascam Sonicview 16XP provides 1st-class audio with an ultralow latency performance. Best of all, the hardware mixing surface and mix engine operate independently of each other for a stable and continuous audio workflow.
 
The Sonicview 16XP features 17 motorized faders and two 7" touchscreen displays, as well as 16 XLR inputs, each with TASCAM's HDIA preamps for high-definition recording and playback. Channels 9 to 16 feature balanced 1/4" inputs, while inputs 7 and 8 include 1/4" inserts. For outputs, the mixer includes 16 XLR outputs, XLR monitor outputs, as well as 1/4" and 3.5mm headphone outputs. Each input channel includes 11 processing functions including trim, HPF, 4-band EQ, dynamics, and more. There are four stereo multi-effects processors available to add that special sauce to your mix. The mixer is equipped with Dante I/O, Ethernet, and a GPIO connection for events and relay applications. The Sonicview ships with IF-MTR32 multitrack SD recording card preinstalled.
 
The VIEW
The VIEW user interface has three different ways to view your settings, and each touch screen can be configured independently.  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, 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.
- View any functions for any channel, group of channels, and more—all on different screens, simultaneously with Individual View. 
 
First-Rate Audio
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 ensures ultralow latency even in analog-to-analog connections.
 
Input Channels and Processing
The Sonicview 16XP offers 8 channels with XLR mic/line inputs and another 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.
 
Channel Control and Processing
Sonicview mixers have a generous 40 mono channels and 2 stereo 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. Programmable layer keys select which custom combination of channels and output buses are controlled by the motorized faders.
 
Class 1 HDIA Mic Preamps
- Sonicview microphone inputs feeds a TASCAM Class 1 HDIA preamp. Thanks to an instrumentation amplifier, Class 1 HDIA microphone preamps exhibit excellent EIN, signal-to-noise ratio, distortion ratio, and frequency response. Sonicview ultradefinition 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 with plenty of headroom.
 
Output Buses and Processing
In addition to the main L/R stereo bus, the Sonicview 16XP provides 22 output flex buses, each of which is configurable as a subgroup, aux, or matrix. Provide multiple stereo in-ear monitor submixes without running short of buses and send to the analog outputs; create matrix mixes for multiple loudspeaker zones and send over the Dante network for restaurants and worship performances, and more. All output buses are equipped with 31-band graphic EQ, real-time analyzer functions, 4-band parametric EQ, compressor/ducker, delay, plus Solo, Pan, and Mute. Four additional effects processors can be assigned to any individual mixer channels, including reverb.
 
Dante Enabled
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 can serve as the audio center of these systems, thanks to a built-in 64-in / 64-out Dante interface that supports AES67 mode, Dante Domain Manager, and SMPTE 2110 mode. Two Dante ports enable redundant streams.
 
Physical Outputs and Expansion Capability
- The Sonicview 16XP offers plenty of physical outputs, with 16 XLR line outputs, the L/R main outputs, and two XLR monitor outputs. If that’s not enough, you can add more analog, MADI, or AES/EBU I/O with an optional expansion card.
- Expand the system by adding one or more Dante-networked stage boxes. Microphone gain for all 16 inputs can be remotely controlled, and the SB-16D can be used as a floor box or rackmounted.
 
Built-In 32-Track SD Recorder
Sonicview 16XP comes with an integrated IF-MTR32 multitrack recording card, enabling you to capture 32 channels directly to an SDXC card. The SD recorder supports simultaneous 32-channel punch-in / punch-out, pre-record, auto-record, and markers. Best of all, it automatically saves and closes the file every 60 seconds during recording to safeguard against data loss.
 
Remote Control and Offline Editing
Connect a Wi-Fi router to the Sonicview's Ethernet port and use free TASCAM Sonicview Control software for macOS, Windows, and iPadOS to manage your Sonicview 16XP from virtually anywhere. Edit settings offline in advance, so you're ready to go when a session or show begins.
 
Work Quickly 
Sonicview offers analog-like operation, while providing a variety of customizable digital functions. Eighteen user-defined function keys can be assigned to recording with the internal recorder, playback, and more. Several keys are preassigned to functions such as Sends On Fader and Snapshot Recall, but can be reassiged. 
 
Clear Navigation
Each channel strip includes a channel-name LCD with a full-color LED. The User keys feature full-color LEDs, so you can group each input source and function by color and view them easily. The Solo and Channel Select keys have distinctive shapes, and the Mute key is guarded with a cap. With these features and the customizable touch panels, you always know where you are and what you're controlling.
 
External Control, Clocking, and More
In addition to audio I/O, Dante, and USB ports, Sonicview is equipped with 8-in / 8-out GPIO terminals (on a DB25 connector) for external control, making it suitable for events and relay applications. BNC word clock In and Out/Thru enable digital audio synchronization, and an Ethernet port can connect to a Wi-Fi router for wireless control. Sonicview also has two TASCAM expansion slots; the IF-MTR32 multitrack SD recording card comes integrated into one slot, while the other slot accepts a selection of expansion cards.
