Tascam announce iU2 audio interface

Designed for the iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch

Press Release: Tascam, the brand synonymous with professional recording products, today introduced the iU2 premium sound-quality audio interface for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Now users can make use of all of the features of Tascam’s best-selling USB audio interfaces (including MIDI Interface and a pair of great-sounding microphone inputs) and easily connect directly to their iDevice.

Connection via Apple’s iOS 30 pin connector or USB for Mac/PC, the iU2 features microphone inputs that have phantom power for use with high-quality condenser microphones. These feed an onboard microphone preamp and A/D converter for better sound performance than those built into iPhone and iPad – true stereo recording with low noise and less tendency to distort. The inputs also accept line-level signals or you can plug a guitar or bass directly into your device.

<strong>Two phantom powered XLR mic inputs and low-latency direct monitoring are included: </strong>Tascam iU2 audio interface

In addition to compatibility with iOS devices, the iU2 also works with Mac and Windows computers. A zero-latency monitoring path allows musicians to hear themselves directly through the unit, without any distracting delay. MIDI in and out is provided to interface with synths and drum machines and a digital output connects to digital mixers or recorders.

· Audio/MIDI Interface for Mac, Windows and iOS devices
