Tascam’s new US-HR Series High Resolution USB Audio Interfaces comprises models – the US-1x2HR, US-2x2HR and US-4x4HR – supporting 2192kHz, 24-bit audio with ultra-low latency, and offering Ultra-HDDA mic preamplifiers with +48V phantom power and a suite of included software.
Designed for use in a variety of environments, these interfaces are designed to appeal to users spanning entry-level recording enthusiasts, project studio operators, podcasting and webcasting.
All US-HR Series interfaces have a Loopback function with stereo/mono switch support (Windows, Mac, iOS, iPad OS), support for OBS streaming software, a USB Type-C connection with an included USB C-A cable, and are USB bus power capable. Of note, all three interfaces offer a dye-cast aluminum honeycomb structure on the side panels with a slight upward tilt. This design not only provides a sleek design, it provides weight so that the interface won’t move when cables are connected or disconnected. Equally important, the upward tilt provides the ergonomic benefit of being angled in such a way as to make the interfaces easy to work with.
The software bundle that ships with the US-HR Series interfaces offers a comprehensive set of solutions for a variety of tasks – Steinberg’s Cubase LE/Cubasis LE 3, IK Multimedia’s SampleTank 4 SE, and a free, three-month subscription to Auto-Tune Unlimited.
The Tascam US-1x2HR is a 1Mic, 2-In/2-Out High Resolution USB Audio Interface suited to guitar and vocal recording musicians. It has an XLR microphone input and quarter-inch TRS input that is switchable between line or instrument input.
TheUS-2x2HR is a 2-In/2-Out Midi/USB audio interface for music production, podcasts and live streaming. It provides two XLR/TRS Combo inputs and offers mic, line, or instrument capability per input. In addition to its superior sound quality, low latency, and loopback functionality, the US-2x2HR’s Midi IN and Out terminals facilitate external Midi devices such as keyboards, drum machines, controllers, etc. to be synchronised and controlled as part of the interface’s extensive capabilities.
As a 4-In/4-Out high resolution Midi/USB audio interface, the US-4x4HR is suited to use in music production environments. It provides four XLR mic inputs and four TRS line inputs – offering mic, line, or instrument capability per input.
