Description
TASCAM Model 12 –
The TASCAM Model 12 is a powerful production workstation built for music producers, content creators, live performers, and podcasters. At its core, it’s a high-quality compact mixer featuring premium Ultra HDDA microphone preamps, compressor and 3-band EQ on each channel, 3-band mastering EQ, and console-style routing. Beyond your DAW, the Model 12 records studio-quality multitrack audio directly to SD card. Connect via USB-C and it becomes a 12-in/10-out audio interface with hands-on DAW control, so you can mix with real faders instead of a mouse.

- Standalone 12-track SD recorder for capturing sessions anywhere
- USB-C audio interface for multitrack recording/playback with your computer
- DAW controller using HUI/MCU control integration
- Compact analog-style mixer for live sound, rehearsal, streaming, and podcasting
Studio-Quality 12-Track Recording to SD

The Ultimate DAW Controller (Hands-On Mixing)
