Sonicview 16XP, the SB-16D Dante-networked Stage Box, and the Tascam Sonicview 24XP
Tascam announces Version 1.4.1 firmware update for the company’s Sonicview 16XP/24XP Digital Recording and Mixing Consoles. The update’s enhancements are designed to improve the consoles’ usability—and result in increased functionality.
Tascam Sonicview consoles feature included 64-In/64-Out Dante interface, a 32-bit/96 kHz multi-channel USB audio interface, built-in 32-track multi-track SD recording (standard in the US market only as "XP" model), Class 1 Premium mic preamplifiers, and wealth of I/O. These recording mixers offer a 96 kHz, 54-bit float FPGA mixing engine, continuous high-definition 96 kHz sampling, and 32-bit analog-to-digital converters. The mixing engine's float-point processing makes it possible to change levels without compromising resolution, and the FPGA mixing engine ensures ultra-low latency of 0.51ms, even in analog-to-analog connections.
