Sometimes new gear shows up that solves more problems than you expected, and Alto Professional’s latest release is exactly that kind of surprise. Store owners looking to expand their lineup with something genuinely useful for working musicians now have a fresh contender: the brand-new TMD16 Compact Digital Mixer.
Alto designed the TMD16 for people who want pro-level control without wading through complicated menus. The mixer keeps everything physical and intuitive—large 100 mm capacitive-touch faders, dedicated push-button encoders, and clear backlit controls. Anyone walking into a rehearsal room, venue, church, or event space can get sound up and running fast, even without engineering experience.
Under the hood, it packs everything users expect from modern digital desks: full parametric EQ, compressors on every input and output, built-in reverbs and delays, scene presets, and powerful routing. No extra processors, no tablets, no hidden menus—just direct access and clean results.
The mixer also leans into everyday practicality. Bluetooth audio and USB make livestreams or quick background playback effortless. Bluetooth control adds that extra layer of convenience for remote tweaks during setup. Subgroups, flexible monitor sends, and easy scene recall keep changeovers smooth and stress-free, which is a huge win for small venues and rehearsal spaces.
For retailers, the TMD16 is an especially compelling option because it’s rugged enough for rental fleets thanks to its metal chassis, yet approachable enough for beginners buying their first digital desk. It fills a sweet spot between ultra-basic analog mixers and expensive, app-dependent digital consoles.
If your customers are looking for a mixer that’s powerful, tactile, and genuinely easy to use, this newcomer is worth putting front and center in your store. It’s purpose-built for the kind of real-world environments your clients work in every day—reliable, flexible, and ready to deliver polished sound without the usual learning curve.
