Tascam US-1x2 USB Audio Interface

1-in/2-out Audio & MIDI Interface with HDDA Mic Preamps and iOS Compatibility:
- TASCAMs US-1x2 brings great quality desktop recording to a price never before possible
- It features a high-quality Ultra-HDDA microphone preamp as well as a 1/4 line input - switchable to instrument level for guitar or bass.
- In addition, both stereo line inputs and outputs are found on the rear panel for fast an easy connection of all of your exisitng audio gear
- The unique design of the bio-cell side panels angles the US-1x2 up from the desktop for easier usability and - to make sure that you are up and running in minutes - both
- Steinberg Cubase LE and Cubasis LE are also included.
- Ultra-HDDA Mic Preamps for Clear Audio Quality from All of Your Mics
- TASCAM's own Ultra-HDDA mic preamps are the cleanest, quietest, and best-sounding from any interface in their range
- A gain range of 57dB makes them ideal for any type of mic dynamic, condenser, or ribbon.
- With preamp performance well beyond any interfaces in their price range, the Ultra-HDDA preamp on the US-1x2 makes your tracks sound like a record.
- Discrete Ultra-HDDA Mic Preamp Delivers Low Noise and Low Distortion
- TASCAM's Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamp design is based on discrete components, just like classic professional gear
- They achieve an incredible EIN rating of -125 dBu, meaning their noise level is practically below the range of hearing
- Other impressive specs include a signal-to-noise ratio of 101 dB, out-speccing anything in its price range
- But instead of judging the design merely by test measurments, key components were selected following extensive listening tests.
- Musical Components like NE5532 Op-amps Used for Input and Output Stages
- TASCAM uses proven, great-sounding components throughout the US-1x2. One example are NE5532 op-amps, famously used throughout classic recording consoles and signal processors due to their sweet, musical sound.
- XLR and TRS Accept Balanced Mic and Line Level Signals
- The mic input features a professional XLR connector, which supplies +48V phantom power for condenser microphones.
- Built from heavy duty metal throughout, the US-1x2 stays put even when moving mics around and changing connections.
- The combo input jack includes TRS inputs for balanced line-level signals from professional processors and synthesizers. Finally, the two inputs can be switched to high-impedance for direct recording of electric guitar and bass. (Only the XLR or 1/4" input can be used, not both at the same time.)
- Wide Gain Range Supports Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones
- Non-powered mics like dynamic and ribbon designs can sound great, but they also have a lower output level than condenser microphones
- The US-1x2's Ultra HDDA mic preamps not only feature 57dB of gain, but also a low-noise design so you don't crank up the noise at the same time
- Plug in modern or classic mics and still get plenty of level on your tracks.
- Simple Operation and an All-New USB Driver
- Installation of the US-1x2 a breeze, whether usnig the built-in class-complient driver or the high-performance ASIO or Core Audio drivers
- Built from the ground up for superior audio performance, the software and driver suite of the TASCAM US-1x2 will kep your sessions running fast and smooth.
- Also included with the driver software is a simple-to-use on-screen control panel, which monitors and adjusts critical interface settings.
