Tascam MIXCAST 4 – Podcast Mixer, 14-Track Recorder & USB Audio Interface

Product Overview

The TASCAM Mixcast 4 is a tabletop podcast mixer, 14-track multitrack recorder, and USB audio interface designed for up to four-person podcast production with built-in sound pads, mix-minus routing for echo-free remote guest integration, and Bluetooth connectivity. It handles the complete podcast production workflow — recording, live mixing, sound effects, and USB streaming — in a single unit without a computer, and integrates with the dedicated TASCAM Podcast Editor software for post-production.

Product Description

Four XLR mic inputs with individual phantom power, gain, and EQ handle the main presenter microphones. Mix-minus routing sends each connected Bluetooth, USB, or 3.5mm TRRS guest a mix that excludes their own audio, preventing echo and feedback for up to seven total participants in a session. Customizable sound pads with user-assignable sound effects, jingles, and intros trigger instantly during recording. The 14-track SD card recorder captures all individual microphone channels plus mix tracks directly to the unit at up to 24-bit/48kHz without a computer. As a USB audio interface, the Mixcast 4 streams the main mix to a DAW or broadcast platform. The Talkback function allows the host to communicate with guests on headphone outputs without that conversation appearing on the main recording. TASCAM Podcast Editor software provides a complete production workflow for editing multi-person podcast recordings exported from the Mixcast 4. Available at Creation Networks.
