Tascam US-16x08 USB Audio/MIDI Interface

Allowing you to record up to 16 channels simultaneously in up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution, the US-16x08 USB Audio/MIDI Interface from TASCAM features 8 XLR microphone inputs with their Ultra-HDDA preamps and 8 TRS line level inputs, 2 of which can be switched to instrument level for DI recording. A DSP mixer allows you to route any signal to any output and gives you a 4-band EQ and compression for each channel, allowing you to tweak a monitor or headphone mix. Its angled design allows you to use the US-16x08 right on your desktop, while the included rack ears provide the ability to rack mount the system. Not limited to audio, its 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O lets the unit function as a MIDI interface as well. It is compatible with Mac, Windows, and iOS (requires Apple's Camera Connection kit, not included for iOS use). Discrete Ultra-HDDA Mic Preamps TASCAM's Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamp design is based on discrete components, just like classic professional gear. They achieve an EIN rating of -125 dBu, meaning their noise level is practically below the range of hearing. But instead of judging the design merely by test measurements, key components were selected following extensive listening tests NE5532 Op-Amps TASCAM uses proven components throughout the US-16x08. One example is the NE5532 op-amp, used throughout classic recording consoles and signal processors due to their musical sound Instrument Inputs The first two channels can be switched to direct guitar inputs for direct recording of electric and acoustic guitar and bass without the need for an external preamp Features 24-bit/96 kHz Resolution 8x XLR Mic Inputs & 8x TRS Line Inputs DSP Monitor Mixer with EQ & Compression Ultra-HDDA Microphone Preamps 5-Pin DIN MIDI I/O Angled Design for Desktop Use Mac, Windows, iOS Compatible Includes Rack Ears & USB Cable Specifications TASCAM US-16X08 Specs Form Factor Desktop (Rack-Mountable with Included Hardware) Display None Channels of I/O 16 Input / 8 Output Built-In DSP Yes Maximum Sampling Rate 96 kHz / 24-Bit Number of Microphone Preamps 8 Preamps Built-In Microphone None Input Level Adjustment 8 x Knob Expansion Slots None Signal Processing Pad None Gain/Trim Range Hi-Z Inputs:45 dB Line Inputs:45 dB Mic Inputs:56 dB High-Pass Filter None Solo/Mute None Connectivity Analog Audio I/O 8 x XLR 3-Pin Mic Input2 x 1/4" TRS Line/Hi-Z Input6 x 1/4" TRS Balanced Line Input8 x 1/4" TRS Balanced Line Output1 x 1/4" TRS Headphone Output Phantom Power 48 V Digital Audio I/O None Host Connection / USB USB-B Host Connection Protocol USB 2.0 USB (Non-Host) None Sync I/O None Network I/O None MIDI I/O 1 x DIN 5-Pin Input1 x DIN 5-Pin Output Wireless Connectivity None Performance Frequency Response Line Outputs:20 Hz to 20 kHz ±0.3 dB (at 48 kHz, JEITA) 20 Hz to 40 kHz ±0.3 dB (at 96 kHz, JEITA) Maximum Input Level Hi-Z Inputs:+24 dBu Mic Inputs:+8 dBu Line Inputs:+24 dBu Maximum Output Level Line Outputs:+24 dBu Headphone Output Power 70 mW per Channel Impedance Hi-Z Inputs:≥ 1 Megohm Line Inputs:≥ 10 Kilohms Line Outputs:100 Ohms Mic Inputs:2.4 Kilohms SNR 100 dB THD < 0.008% THD+N 0.001% Crosstalk > 100 dB EIN < -125 dBu Digital Audio Sample Rates 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 kHz Sample Rate Conversion None Bit Depths 16 / 24-Bit Audio Storage & Playback Memory Card Slot None Compatibility OS Compatibility iOS 7 macOS 10.9 Windows 7 Windows 8 macOS 8.1 *As of June, 2022: Check with manufacturer for the most up-to-date compatibility Included Software None Compatible Software (Not Included) Pro ToolsLogicCubaseAbleton LiveGarageBand Included Plug-Ins None Supported Drivers/API & Plug-Ins macOS Class-Compliant (No Driver Needed)Windows Class-Compliant (No Driver Needed) Processor Requirement 2 GHz RAM Requirements 2 GB Mobile App Compatible Yes: iOS OnlyApp Name: Tascam PortastudioFunctionality: Adjust Settings, Remote Control*As of March, 2023: Check with manufacturer for the most up-to-date compatibility Required Hardware Available USB 2.0 Port Internet Connection Required for Software/Driver Download Power Power Requirements AC/DC Power Adapter (Included) Power Consumption 12 W Physical Rackmount Size 2 RU Operating Temperature 41 to 95°F / 5 to 35°C Dimensions 17.5 x 8.6 x 2.3" / 445 x 219 x 59 mm Weight 6.1 lb / 2.8 kg Packaging Info Package Weight 8.7 lb Box Dimensions (LxWxH) 21.3 x 11.6 x 5.1"
