The radical eye-catching design was crafted by Axel Hartmann, a German designer who has worked on numerous well-known devices used for music creation. In addition, We have applied the engineering expertise from years of making audio interfaces to create products that are both pioneering and practical. With its distinctive style, these interfaces will fit perfectly on the desktops of musicians and will stimulate creativity.
Tascam’s new US series satisfies the needs of musicians from an aesthetic as well as ergonomic perspective. With its unique honeycomb structure on the side panels, the main body has a sense of weight, while also maintaining a delicacy that matches the user’s needs. Honeycomb structures are a feature of modern architecture, but are also a vital resource whose exceptional technical structure we can use in design. As this structure is found in nature, it has a stability and flexibility which comes with being an organic form.
