Tascam US-2x2, 2X2 CHANNEL USB AUDIO INTERFACE, 2-in/2-out Audio/MIDI Interface with HDDA Mic Preamps and iOS Compatibility
The Tascam US-2x2 combines great audio quality and ergonomic design for a powerful 2-in/2-out USB 2 Audio interface. Two of TASCAM’s Ultra-HDDA mic/line preamps can provide up to 57dB of gain with nearly inaudible noise and distortion specs. The audio design of the Tascam US-2x2 features high-performance, musical components like NE5532 op amps for rich sound quality without coloring the source. The Tascam US-2x2 includes class-compliant drivers for plug-and-play operation on Mac OSX and iOS devices like the iPad, and a simple driver adds ASIO compatibility for Windows. MIDI in and out are also included for connecting synths, drum machines, and controllers. With solid audio specs, iOS compatibility, and an easy-to-read angled design, the Tascam US-2x2 is the ultimate 2-channel interface for home, project, and mobile studios.
