TASCAM SERIES 208i

Next-generation Recording Quality, Simplified

The TASCAM Series 208i USB audio interface packs an impressive amount of connectivity into a compact and rugged desktop format. And with its built-in effects and processing, you’ll be able to treat your audio with reverb, compression, and EQ on the way into your DAW software. For maximum flexibility in your home studio, the Series 208i features a DSP-based input/output mixer than you can control via the free TASCAM Control software. With four XLR/TRS combo inputs on the front panel, and two 8-channel optical inputs around back, the TASCAM Series 208i USB interface offers up to 20 channels of simultaneous recording.

Ultra-HDDA mic preamps capture detailed nuances

The Series 208i interface employs TASCAM’s Ultra-High Definition Discrete Architecture (HDDA) mic preamp design that delivers audio with extremely low self noise to capture every detail of your musical performances. Each channel also features a TRS jack with switchable line/instrument-level operation, so you can easily track keyboards, guitar, bass, and other instruments alongside your microphones.

The sleek, angled design keeps your levels in sight and offers easy access to gain and volume controls. It’s small enough to fit in your laptop bag, but powerful enough to trust with your next masterpiece.
