Tascam US-1x2HR High Resolution USB-C Audio Interface
This USB-C interface offers high resolution 24-bit 192k available in a mobile friendly format. The US-1x2HR features an Ultra-HDDA microphone preamplifier with a very low noise level that makes this interface the ideal tool for recording with a condenser microphone. You can also plug in your electric guitar or bass directly using the line/instrument input and use plug-in effects on your computer recording (DAW) software. Or connect any instrument or hi-fi amplifier’s line output to the line input.
The US-1x2HR is also a great tool on the road: Combine it with an iPad and you can capture nature sounds, stream interviews from live events, or simply record your ideas with high quality wherever you go.
Even if you’re not so familiar with recording equipment, the US-1x2HR’s user-friendly design enables you to use it right away.
