Description

Us-1x2hr Tascam High Resolution Usb Audio Interface

The US-1x2HR is the smallest member of the Tascam US-HR series of high-resolution USB audio interfaces. It has one microphone and one instrument input, making it particularly suitable for simple and intuitive guitar/vocal recording with a computer. However, the included loopback function and support for Open Broadcaster Software (OBS Studio) also make it an excellent choice for creating podcasts and live streaming. Last but not least, it is a perfect solution to feed an amplifier system with music from a computer in high quality, for example for a birthday party. The compact US-1x2HR includes a wealth of features, including high audio resolution up to 24-bit/192 kHz, ultra-low latency with a Windows buffer size starting at four samples, Ultra-HDDA microphone preamps with 48-volt phantom power for superior sound quality with ultra-low noise, a robust USB Type C connector, and a rich assortment of included software to start producing audio right away. The lightweight interface is ideal for mobile recording and production using an iPhone or iPad* with the included Cubasis LE, so you can take it to your practice room, use it to report on a live event, or capture nature sounds outdoors.

All US-HR models feature a unique honeycomb structure of cast aluminum on the side panels with a slight upward tilt. This design not only results in a sleek, eye-catching design, it also provides just the right amount of weight so the interface won't move when cables are connected or disconnected. Equally important is the ergonomic advantage of the tilt upward, which makes the interface easy to operate.

If you need a clear, easy-to-use audio interface with two inputs and two outputs, very low noise, low distortion and excellent sound quality, the Tascam US-1x2HR can be your reliable partner for many years to come.
