Tascam US-2X2 Audio & MIDI Interface with MXL 770 Microphone, Headphones & Cable

Tascam US-2x2 USB Audio InterfaceTascam's US-2x2 combines great audio quality and ergonomic design for a powerful 2-in/2-out USB 2 Audio interface. Two of TASCAM’s Ultra-HDDA mic/line preamps provide up to 57dB of gain with nearly inaudible noise and distortion specs.The audio design features high-performance, musical components like NE5532 op amps for rich sound quality without coloring the source.With solid audio specs, iOS compatibility, and an easy-to-read angled design, the US-2x2 is the ultimate 2-channel interface for home, project, and mobile studios.Ultra-HDDA Mic PreampsTASCAM'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.Low Noise and Low DistortionTASCAM'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.NE5532 Op-amps     TASCAM uses proven, great-sounding components throughout the US-2x2. One example are NE5532 op-amps, famously used throughout classic recording consoles and signal processors due to their sweet, musical sound.XLR and TRSThe mic input features a professional XLR connector, which supplies +48V phantom power for condenser microphones. Built from heavy duty metal throughout, the US-2x2 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.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-2x2'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. Two Guitar Inputs Rock Out with Amp Simulator Software using the Guitar Inputs. The two inputs can be switched to direct guitar inputs, ideal for direct recording of electric and acoustic guitar and bass without the need for a preamp. High Resolution Recording up to 96kHz/24-bit    The US-2x2 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.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 USB 2.0, found on nearly any computer, is used as the interface for the US-2x2. Simply connect the interface to any available USB port to supply plenty of bandwidth, even for multichannel 96k work.Zero-latency Direct Monitoring 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.
