I have a exactly like new Tascam M-1600, 24 24 channel Inline mix desk that has seen very little use! From what I can say after using this, the I/O's and Eq is exactly as rumored, nearly perfect!? Not as sterile and thin sounding as many other boards in this price/preformace range and clean as a whistle! It was mated to Tascam Digital decks but I suspect it is on par with any deck as it is switchable between -10 and +4. I love how it worked with my Tascam 8 track deck, a 288 andt I think anyone would be delighted to use this regardless of genre or, application!
It is still in it's orginal shipping box all ready to go and freight will cost whatever the new owner decides on for a shipping method?
New it cost over 2K but I will be willing to listen to any real offers over 1K or, best offers.
It also has some "Cable Up" D-sub to RCA and 1/4" trs breakout cables which cost me over 200.00
If interested I kan be reached at, codybuxton@gmail.com.
Thank U for Your interest!
Any questions or offers will be welcome!

DIAL M FOR MIXER
Tascam M1600 Series Mixing Console
Published in SOS April 1997
Reviews : Mixer
Another 8-buss console hits the streets, as Tascam release an ideal partner for their digital 8-track recorders.
Over the last few years, sales of 8-buss consoles have increased dramatically. A vast array of new models and a few new manufacturers have appeared to cater for the demand, and anyone currently in the market for a new desk is likely to be faced with a bewildering array of mixers, each one with its own unique set of advantages and drawbacks. Part of the reason for this increase in 8-buss popularity lies with the development of affordable digital recording systems, with Tascam's own DA88/38 units maintaining their strong position as industry favourites, along with the ADAT system from Alesis. Many studios have opted to use these 8-tracks in combination with one of the new breed of consoles from manufacturers such as Allen & Heath, Mackie and Soundcraft. Mackie, in particular, have succeeded in capturing a large slice of the market, despite their relatively recent appearance.
In an attempt to redress the balance, Tascam have recently released the M1600 series of consoles. Available in 16 or 24-track configurations, this desk is perfectly capable of coping with a wide range of musical applications, though most systems will probably end up partnering a digital 8-track and sequencer-based setup.
DESIGN
The console is a comprehensive 8-buss system, complete with six auxiliary sends and 3-band equalisation. An external meter bridge is available as an option, and the desk makes use of Tascam's own 'Distributed in-line Monitor System' -- effectively including the tape monitors in line with each main channel to double the number of inputs on mixdown. Auxiliary returns are also via separate dedicated sockets, further increasing the available channels. Phantom power is fitted as standard.
Colour-wise, battleship grey is the order of the day, with the M1600 bearing quite a resemblance to the Mackie and Soundcraft Ghost consoles that make up its major competition. All connections are via the rear of the unit, and the top panel is a 'one-piece' design, making it impossible to remove individual channels for replacement and servicing. That said, the build quality is high, with a solid and positive response from the faders and controls. The entire desk weighs in at a hefty 26kg -- certainly not for the faint-hearted to carry up the stairs -- and a dedicated 8-channel microphone preamplifier is also available as an option, to aid in level-matching.
