Alto Professional has announced the launch of the TMD16, a new 16-channel digital audio mixer designed for live sound applications in smaller music venues, rehearsal spaces, event centers, houses of worship, and more.
“The TMD16 addresses a real need in the market for professional digital mixing that doesn’t require an audio engineering degree to operate,” says John Boudreau, director of product development at Alto Professional. “If you’ve been running an analog mixer and wondering when it makes sense to go digital, this is it. The TMD16 gives you that same hands-on, tactile workflow you’re used to, plus powerful built-in effects and routing that would cost thousands to add to an analog board. Whether you’re running sound for a worship service, managing a small venue, or streaming live performances, the TMD16 delivers a familiar, affordable upgrade path to digital without the learning curve or the hefty price tag.”
The TMD16 offers seven 100 mm capacitive touch faders with 18-segment LED indicators, a 7-inch color display, and 10 dedicated push-button encoders with press functionality. The interface provides direct access to parametric EQ, compression, effects, and preset management.
With 16 x 12 analog I/O, the mixer accommodates eight digital mic/line channels on combo connectors, two digital mic/stereo line channels, plus multiple stereo input options. The output section includes two main, four subgroup, three aux, and an FX XLR outputs, two monitor TRS outputs, and top-panel headphone output.
Parametric EQ and compressors are included on all inputs and outputs. Bluetooth audio streaming enables wireless integration of backing tracks and smart device content. The Alto Pro Mix Control App for iOS and Android enables remote mixing from anywhere in the venue via Bluetooth LE.
