TASCAM’s US-2X2 combines great audio quality and ergonomic design for a powerful 2-in/2-out USB 2 Audio interface.
Two of TASCAM’s Ultra-HDDA mic/line preamps provide up to 57dB of gain with nearly inaudible noise and distortion specs. The audio design features high-performance, musical components like NE5532 op amps for rich sound quality without coloring the source.
The US-2X2 includes class-compliant drivers for plug-and-play operation on Mac OSX and iOS devices like the iPad, and a simple driver adds ASIO compatibility for Windows. MIDI in and out are also included for connecting synths, drum machines, and controllers. The interface includes two DAW applications to choose from – both Cakewalk SONAR X3 LE and Abelton Live Lite 9.
With solid audio specs, iOS compatibility, and an easy-to-read angled design, the US-2X2 is the ultimate 2-channel interface for home, project, and mobile studios.
The main features of the US-2X2 include:
This is advertised as plug and play but it is not intuitive. It comes bundled with Cubase 10LE and I could not get the two to communicate. I spent an afternoon watching videos before I sorted it. Essentially, Cubase does not automatically find the interface, but you have to go to Studio setup in the Cubase menu and manually select the correct driver, and then click on the lists of options presented to say which inputs and outputs to use. As a newbie, I was bewildered but got it sorted eventually. Now works fine - all I’ve got to do is Masterclass Cubase! Hope that helps someone!
Straight out of the box, and within 2 minutes, I had the Tascam US 2x2 up and running. Two minutes later, I had by laptop's speakers connected and I was soon jamming to my favourite track - Dave Edmunds on 'Queen of Hearts'; great piece of kit and makes my rig a joy to work with.
