Description
News
TASCAM's M-164 series is a lineup of affordable mixers for live bands, home recording or installation. Three models are available to fit your needs:
# M-164 -- 16-channel mixer
# M-164FX -- 16-channel mixer with digital effects
# M-164UF -- 16-channel mixer with effects and USB 2.0 interface
Each of the mixers has six TASCAM mic inputs with XLR ins and phantom power for great-sounding tracks. Mic inputs additionally have 3-band EQ with hipass filters for sculpting the mix. Five stereo line inputs bring the total count to 16 inputs, and several channels add EQ and RIAA phono preamps for adding flexibility. The M-164s have two output busses - main and sub - as well as a pair of aux sends for monitors and effects.
The M-164FX adds a stereo effects processor with 16 programs of reverb, delay, chorus and other great-sounding effects. Step up to the M-164UF for a 16x2 audio interface that works over USB 2.0. The interface built into the M-164UF has the highest channel count of any mixer, allowing all 16 inputs to be recorded to their own track in your computer recording software.

Tascam M-164UF 16-Channel USB Mixer with Effects Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"Great Value. Great Performance. Great Looks. What more do you need??"
Feature:
Has everything you need for a great price. I used 14 channels of this mixer to record my band. Everything came in clear as a bell once we got the levels right. The mixer also has a usb send channel so you can send the output of your music DAW to external speakers. This came in handy for listening to each take.
Quality:
Faders feel a little cheap but they are sturdy. The whole unit has a nice sturdy feel to it. I just wish it came with a grounding wire. The input level monitor at the top of the mixer is a nice touch and takes alot of the guesswork out of locating a peak.
Value:
This mixer is a great value and the perfomance is top notch. As long as you have a computer to handle the inputs this mixer is a beast. And don't let the fact that it is USB 2.0 put you off. USB 2.0 is just as fast as firewire. I use mine with a Unibody macbook and there aren't even any Firewire ports on it!
Desirability:
16 inputs for under $500. Win.
Sound:
The preamps are completely transparent, which to me is a pro. The only reason I am not rating it higher is because I am coming off of a Soundcraft Compact 4 mixer, and I have never used anything more expensive than this.
Ease of Use:
No mixer is "easy" to use, but I guess this is as easy as it gets. I spent about an hour with the manual and it was less because this mixer's complexity and more because I've never used a pro grade mixer before.
Support:
We'll see. Lol.
Overall:
Great Value. Great Performance. Great Looks. What more do you need?? Sure there are more robust mixers, but not for under $1000. This mixer is easily a 10 when you consider the price.
