Tascam US-2X2HR
The US-2x2HR is part of the Tascam US-HR Series of high-resolution USB audio interfaces. It equips your macOS or Windows computer or iPhone/iPad with two switchable mic/line/instrument inputs and two balanced line-level outputs, plus MIDI input/output. This interface is ideal for music creation and home studio recording. It meets high standards, is easy to use and provides studio-quality sound. In addition, the built-in loopback function and compatibility with OBS Studio (formerly Open Broadcaster Software) make it an excellent choice for podcasting and live streaming.
Less background noise and distortion - better sound than ever
The compact US-2x2HR audio interface is packed with features: high-resolution audio (up to 24-bit/192kHz), ultra-low latency with a Windows buffer size starting at 4 samples, Ultra-HDDA microphone preamps with 48-volt phantom power for excellent sound quality with extremely low background noise, a rugged USB-C connector, and a rich collection of bundled software to get you started with audio production immediately. It can also be used for mobile production or live streaming using your iPhone or iPad* with the included Cubasis LE software. Simply put, the US-2x2HR helps you create and distribute great sound wherever you go.
Keyword: versatility
All US-HR Series models feature an exclusive cast aluminum honeycomb physical structure for the sides, with a slight upward slope. This design results in a sleek and attractive look, and provides sufficient footing so that the interface does not shift when connecting or disconnecting cables. Another important aspect is that the upward tilt results in better ergonomics, as the angle makes the interface easier to use.
If you're a musician, producer or home studier looking for a rugged, sleek and easy-to-use audio interface with superb sound quality, the Tascam US-2x2HR will be a reliable partner for many years.
* A battery pack or AC adapter (optional) is required when used with an iPhone or iPad.
