The TMD16 provides a total of 16 inputs, with eight XLR combo inputs, and two channels that allow mono XLR inputs or stereo TRS inputs. What’s more, there are stereo RCA inputs and stereo minijack inputs for consumer devices, as well as Bluetooth source selection. With its USB connectivity, the TDM16 becomes an audio interface, offering recording and playback functionality.
On the output side, the TMD16 has four aux XLR outputs, four sub XLR outputs, a set of main XLR outputs, and a pair of monitor TRS outputs. While it doesn’t provide digital or networking scalability, the TMD16 is ideal for DJ and electronic setups that don’t require a great deal of input signal management.
With the 7-inch display, you can get a complete overview of operations and metering, and dive into settings when required. The interface has an intuitive layout with 10 multifunction encoders and seven backlit buttons that let you access the most important mixer functions without getting the menu diving goggles on.
One of the main features is the seven capacitive touch faders that give you precise control of all your levels. For signal processing, there is per-channel parametric EQ and compression, as well as a digital effects engine with chorus, delay, reverb, 7-band graphic EQ, and compressor/limiter. Meanwhile, saving and recalling your complete mixer settings is easy for simple setup procedures.
Also, with its accompanying Alto Mix app for Android and iOS, you can make mix adjustments from anywhere in the venue. Overall, the TDM16 offers an impressive range of functions in a very compact footprint.

One response to “Alto TMD16: Digital Flexibility with Touch Control”
Could be a good alternative for a personal IEM mixer. The Behringer XR18 is probably still the king of budget IEM mixers, but if you want a hands-on mixer with a built-in display this could be an alternative.
