TASCAM US-322 USB Audio Interface

No longer available at zZounds
With a stereo-mix mode that's ideal for tracking podcasts, plus built-in compressor, EQ, and reverb effects, this USB interface is a home-studio workhorse.

In the process of creating music, many engineers have started utilizing high-resolution formats while recording to ensure the best quality sounds. The TASCAM US-322 is suited perfectly for these types of recordings.

The TASCAM US-322 is designed with two XLR with +48V phantom power and two TRS inputs. Having both options for condenser mics and line level inputs ensures you are getting the best possible sound and lowest-noise when recording. In addition, INPUT-1 can connect to high-impedance equipment (like a guitar) directly.

On-board Effects

The US-322 is designed with on-board effects such as compressor, 3-band EQ, and Reverb -- all located on the DSP. While recording, you can use the input effects for any input signal and the reverb effect on any monitoring signal at the same time. The US-322 is built with a "Mixer Panel" button located conveniently on top. This button provides a one-click recall function for the DSP mixer. When pushed a second time, the mixer panel will be conveniently hidden.

Two Operational Modes

The multi-track mode is ideal for creating music. This mode delivers independent monitor-mixing from a send level -- like an inline console to a PC. In addition, this mode delivers monaural monitoring.

The stereo-mix mode makes podcast recording or broadcasting convenient and easy. An output audio signal from any PC can relay that signal back to the PC again via your DSP mixer. Any BGM from a PC can mix your voice by microphone then the mixed sound will read more transfer back to the PC again.
