{"product_id":"tascam-us-1x2-usb-audio-interface","title":"TASCAM US-1X2 USB Audio Interface","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct  Information: 1-in\/2-out Audio \u0026amp; MIDI Interface with  HDDA Mic Preamps and iOS Compatibility TASCAM’s 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.   Main Features  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 theTASCAM 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.   High Resolution Recording up to 96kHz\/24-bit  The US-1x2 records at up to 96kHz\/24-bit resolution. Even if your  target is CD or MP3, recording at higher resolutions gives you more  to work with in the mix and can result in a smoother sound. Ensuring  studio quality audio performance, the mic preamps and A\/D converters  work together to capture the clearest signal path, whether you work  at 96k or at lower sampling rates. USB 2.0 Computer Connection USB 2.0, found on nearly any computer, is used as the interface for  the US-1x2. Simply connect the interface to any available USB port  to supply plenty of bandwidth, even for multichannel 96k work. Zero-latency Direct Monitoring Function Even the most efficient computers and DAW software can produce a  slight delay before reaching the outputs, which can distract some  vocalists and instrumentalists. A Direct Monitoring path is included  to monitor the input signal before it is sent to the computer. This  allows musicians to concentrate on their performance instead of  adjusting for latency delay.  Sleek industrial design that inspires creativity with a practical  interface  Bio-Cell Side Panels Add Style and Ergonomic Design  The US-1x2 features removable Bio-Cell Side Panels developed by  renowned industrial designers The Box. These unique panels serve a  dual purpose and add a striking look to the interface as well as  angling it on the desktop for increased usability.  The angled design is optmized for deskptop viewing and operation  much more comfortable than other interfaces with controls on the top  or front of the device. The unique design of the TASCAM US series  places these at a natural angle, making operation easier and keeping  the creative flow going. Separate Volume Controls for Headphones and Line Outputs  The US-1x2 includes both headphone and line output volume controls.  Even when both powered monitors and headphones are connected, the  user can set an optimum level for each during operation. And when  you want to work on headphones, you don't need to reach around to  switch off your monitors.   Class-Compliant Drivers for use with iPad and Other Tablets The US-1x2 is built with class-compliant drivers built into the  units. Not only does this mean that they can be used with many  computers without first installing a driver, they also open the  possibilities of with tablets such as Apple's iPad.  Connect to iPad, iPhone, or other iOS devices  Use Apple's Camera Connection Kit to connect the US-1x2 to an iPad  or other iOS device. Utilitze the multichannel audio and MIDI  functions with any of the thousands of iOS audio apps, like Garage  Band or TASCAM's Portastudio app. Class Compliant drivers also allow  the interfaces to be used with Android and Windows-based tablets.  Playback form the iPad, such as synthesizer apps, sound bigger and  smoother through the interface than going through the headphone  output alone.  Notes: * A TASCAM PS-P520 AC adapter (sold separately) is necessary to  power the US-2x2. * Apple's Camera Connection Kit is not included with this product. * When connected, the US-2x2\/US-4x4 will not provide power to the  iOS device. Tested with Sonar, Pro Tools, Cubase, Live, Studio One, and Garage  Band TASCAM has tested the interface operation with all leading DAW  software, such as SONAR, Pro Tools, Cubase, Live, Studio One and  Garage Band. Use the interfaces with your favorite Mac or Windows  recording applications, not just the bundled apps.  Bundled DAW Software Starts The Music Right Out of the Box To make sure that you are able to get up and recording as quickly as  possible, the TASCAM US-1x2 comes bundled with copies of both  Steinberg Cubase LE and Cubasis LE.
