Usability

The US-1x2HR's XLR mic input distributes 48-volts phantom power to condenser microphones and offers excessive gain (up to 57 dB) for use with less-expensive dynamic mics. This, plus the simplified one mic and one instrument input, allow both beginners and more experienced sound-recordists to create simple yet high-quality recordings via a desktop or mobile device. Post-setup, bundled software allows the user to promptly begin manipulating music, recording and creating.

Outstanding Vocal/Instrument Recording as Standard

The Tascam US-1x2HR High-Resolution USB Audio Interface is the ideal tool for vocal/instrument recording. Plug your electric guitar or bass via the line/instrument input and employ plug-in effects to gain high-quality sound recording. Make use of the Ultra-HDDA microphone preamplifier (less electrical interference); ideal for recording via a condenser microphone.

High-End Recording On The Road

Mobile recording is second nature to the Tascam US-1x2HR. It's the ideal tool for recording foley, vocal thoughts, instrument overlays and stream live interviews. The ability to use Cubasis LE (Steinberg's compact, mobile multi-touch sequencer) allows for spur of the moment recording sessions and fast setup speeds when broadcasting live via an iOS device. To operate at its full mobile-potential, connect a 5-volts power supply or purchase an external battery pack (Tascam PS-P520E or Tascam BP-6AA).

Superior Audio Quality

Crisp, clear sound provided by Ultra-HDDA (High-Definition Discrete Architecture) Mic Preamp with 192 kHz support. With the US-1x2HR having an EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) rating (measuring absence of noise) as low as -128 dBu, it is able to generate enhanced audio performance with even the most transparent and low-frequency sounds. Further portrayed in a signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB.

Professional Podcast and Livestream Capabilities

Loopback function merges input signals 1/2 with signals 1/2 received via the computer (set to mono or stereo); sending this mix directly to broadcast or other computer software systems. More simply, it allows for a well-rounded sound, ideal for live-streaming, internet communication and online broadcasting. The software slider can then be used to adjust the broadcast volume independent from the US-1x2HR's line output level setting; for clean, real-time audio adjustments.
