Alto Professional Launches Compact 16-Channel TMD16 Mixer
Alto Professional has introduced the TMD16, a 16-channel digital audio mixer, designed for live sound applications in small music venues, rehearsal spaces, event centers, houses of worship, and more.
The TMD16 features intuitive tactile controls, comprehensive I/O, and pro-quality processing in a compact package.
“The TMD16 addresses a real need in the market for professional digital mixing that doesn’t require an audio engineering degree to operate,” said 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.”
The TMD16 features seven 100mm capacitive touch faders with 18-segment LED indicators, a 7-inch color display, and 10 dedicated push-button encoders with press functionality. This tactile interface provides direct access to parametric EQ, compression, effects, and preset management without menu diving, making professional digital mixing as intuitive as an analog console.
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 extensive output section delivers comprehensive routing flexibility for any live sound application.
