It all starts with the best sound: TEAC and TASCAM have more than 60 years of high grade audio design experience.
TASCAM Ultra-HDDA (High Deï¬nition Discrete Architecture) mic preamp circuitry guarantees transparent natural tone with ultra-low noise.
The new windows driver also allows to set the minimum size of the audio buffer (from only 4 samples), which results lesser round trip latency with maximum performance, suitable for each computer’s configuration.
Easily add more input channels to accommodate future growth by using external microphone preamplifiers with S/MUX optical inputs to record drums, guitars, keyboards, vocals, and more. Each S/MUX optical port can accept up to 8 channels of audio input from an ADAT- or S/MUX-compatible device.
TASCAM SERIES audio interfaces feature a large, easy-to-grab Monitor control knob that ensures you can quickly adjust the monitor output level. Their angled tabletop design offers easy access to all front-panel controls. A handy Monitor Balance control enables mixing live input with computer playback for zero-latency monitoring. Each analog input channel is served by an individually switched 48 volt phantom power supply for condenser microphones.
The SERIES interface has 2 individual headphone amplifiers which offer powerful enough dual headphone monitoring.
Free, easy-to-use TASCAM Control software (TASCAM SERIES Settings Panel) manages faders, processing, and the ability to route any audio input (analog, optical, and USB) to any audio output.
A DSP input and output mixer is complemented with digital reverb, compressor, phase invert, and 4-band EQ for each channel. Having these processors included internally eliminates all latency issues and takes the load off the computer allowing the Windows / Mac to process the audio more efficiently.
TASCAM SERIES interfaces support tablets and other mobile devices and are compatible with many applications to meet your recording needs now and in the future.
TASCAM SERIES audio interfaces are bundled with a series of software that allow full operational coverage: at the core of music production is Steinberg’s Cubase LE / Cubasis LE; for instrumental recordings comes IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube with guitar/bass modeling and colorful effects; newly added to the bundle is iZotope’s redesigned Neutron Elements, which includes 4 powerful tools for creating great mixes; last but not least, IK Multimedia’s T-RackS mastering software will finish up users’ creations into high quality masterpieces.
* The completely new Neutron Elements includes 4 powerful tools for great mixes for less than the cost of a single plug-in.
A new USB driver offers very high stability, ensuring highly reliable performance every time.
Allows any input like analogue, OPTICAL and USB audio to assign any output port(s) as the user wants.
