USB Audio Midi Interface by Tascam

Where size matters, the new, ultra compact, carry round TASCAM US-122 brings portable, easy to use, professional recording capabilities for Mac™ and Windows™ laptop or desktop recording/ production systems. The tiny USB audio / MIDI interface controller is powered entirely via its USB data connection, yet provides two XLR phantom powered mic inputs, two 1/ 4 inch balanced line/ guitar level inputs, high quality mic pre-amp circuitry and 24 bit AD and DA conversion.

Discrete level control is provided for both left and right input channels, stereo line level monitor outputs and the headphone output. Analogue inserts are also provided for connection of processors, such as a compressor / limiter, across the inputs. MIDI IN and OUT connectors are located on the rear panel with the USB connector.

Requiring no power supply or batteries, the US-122 provides a more professional, robust alternative to installing a sound card. The Tascam US-122 enables audio and MIDI data to be processed at the same time and simultaneous recording and playback, via a single USB connection.

The Tascam US-122 is bundled with a version of Steinberg Cubase LE and TASCAM's GigaStudio 24 sampling workstation, and is supplied with a USB cable.
