Overview

The Tascam AK-DC16 is a purpose-built protective dust cover for the Tascam Model 16 all-in-one mixer, recorder, and USB audio interface. Studio and live-sound environments inevitably expose gear to dust, pet hair, and airborne particles that can work their way into fader tracks and around knobs, eventually causing scratchy controls or unreliable performance. The AK-DC16 addresses this by fitting snugly over the Model 16's full control surface, keeping everything clean and ready to go when you sit down for your next session.

A practical design detail is the integrated cable flap on the rear, which lets you leave audio, USB, and power cables connected while the cover is in place. This means you can protect your mixer at the end of a session without disconnecting anything, then simply lift the cover off and start working immediately. At just 390 grams, the cover adds virtually no burden to your workflow — it folds flat for storage and is light enough to toss into a gear bag if you transport your Model 16 to different locations.
