Ultra-HDDA Mic Preamps Deliver Low Noise& Low DistortionTASCAM's Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamp design is based on discrete components, just like classic professional gear. They achieve an incredible EIN rating of -125 dBu, meaning their noise level is practically below the range of hearing. Other impressive specs include a signal-to-noise ratio of 100 dB, out-speccing anything in its range. But instead of judging the design merely by test measurments, key components were selected following extensive listening tests. | Rock Out with Amp Simulator Software using the Guitar InputsThe first two channels can be switched to direct guitar inputs. They're ideal for direct recording of electric and acoustic guitar and bass without the need for a preamp. Use them with amp modeling software, like the TH2 effect included with SONAR X3. * Guitar effect plug-ins sold separately. | Angled design provides excellent usability on a desktopThe angled design makes desktop viewing and operation much more comfortable for tabletop use. All other interfaces have their controls on the front or the top of the device, causing you to crane your neck to read the knobs and switches. The US-16×08 are at a natural angle, making operation easier to keep you creative. A pair of rack ears are also included for use in a standard 19″ equipment rack. | Separate Volume Controls for Headphones and Line OutputThe US-16×08 includes both headphone and line output volume controls. Even when both powered monitors and headphones are connected, the user can set an optimum level for each during operation. And when you want to work on headphones, you don't need to reach around to switch off your monitors. |
