Tascam Model 12 Mixer £569

Compact analogue mixers are usually pretty basic, but this one has some tricks up its sleeve as Jon Musgrave discovers

- Jon Musgrave

The Model 12 is the latest addition to Tascam’s compact analogue mixer range and follows in the footsteps of last year’s Model 20 and Model 16. Designed as a standalone mixer that also works in tandem with your DAW, it combines a mixer, USB interface (12in/10out), DAW controller (HUI/MCU protocol), onboard FX and even 12 track multitrack recorder (using SD, SDHC, SDXC). It’s crammed with features and will appeal to a broad user base.
