TASCAM Sonicview 24 Channels Digital Mixer with Multi-environment Touch Screens

The TASCAM Sonicview 24 offers motorized channel faders in three 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.

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 24’s three 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 in screen 2 and keeping an eye on the output-bus level and compression curve on screen 3.

・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 three sets of parameters for one single channel, including the compressor, graphic EQ, aux/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, adjust a graphic equalizer, and monitor levels on important input channels.

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.

The TASCAM Sonicview 24 offers 24 channels with XLR mic/line inputs and 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.

Each TASCAM Sonicview microphone input feeds a TASCAM Class 1 HDIA (High Definition Instrumentation Architecture) preamp—the finest mic preamp we’ve ever made. Thanks to an instrumentation amplifier with extremely good noise characteristics in the first stage, Class 1 HDIA microphone preamps exhibit excellent EIN, signal-to-noise ratio, distortion ratio, and frequency response. TASCAM Sonicview ultra definition 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, 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 we didn’t stop there: We conducted extensive internal and external evaluations to tune TASCAM Sonicview mixers for optimal performance. The result is best-in-class sound that will never disappoint.

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.

You can simultaneously capture the main mix directly to the onboard stereo SD/USB recorder — handy when the band wants to listen to their performance at the hotel or on the bus. A top-panel port also lets you record in stereo to a USB flash drive.

As you’d expect, the TASCAM Sonicview 24 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 outputs, MADI, Dante or AES/EBU I/O with an optional expansion card, in addition to the IF-MTR32 multi-track SD recording card.

To further expand the system, add one or more optional 16-in/16-out SB-16D Dante-networked stage boxes. Microphone gain for all 16 inputs can be remotely controlled from the TASCAM Sonicview 24, and the SB-16D can be used as a floor box or rack mounted.

You get a wealth of output buses, with powerful signal processing and flexible routing options. In addition to the main L/R stereo bus, the TASCAM Sonicview 24 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, realtime 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 for even more including an astounding reverb effect.

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.

Whether onstage, backstage, in a control room, or at the rear of a concert hall, you’re always in full control of your TASCAM Sonicview 24 mixer. Just connect a Wi-Fi router to the TASCAM Sonicview’s Ethernet port and use free TASCAM Sonicview Control software for macOS, Windows, and iPadOS to manage your TASCAM Sonicview 24 from virtually anywhere in the venue. Edit settings offline in advance so you’re ready to go when a session or show begins, then make adjustments from the console or from the software.

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.

When you’re mixing a show, broadcast, or crucial recording session, you can’t afford to hit the wrong button or grab the wrong control. TASCAM Sonicview’s mixing surface makes it easy to see at a glance what you’re controlling, even in a dark concert hall. 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.

In addition to audio I/O, Dante, and USB ports, TASCAM 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. TASCAM Sonicview also has two TASCAM expansion slots; you can add more analog outputs, MADI, Dante or AES/EBU I/O with an optional expansion card, in addition to the IF-MTR32 multi-track SD recording card.

Your business depends on reliable equipment that will stay in service with minimal interruptions, and we designed TASCAM Sonicview accordingly. TASCAM Sonicview’s 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.
