 SERIES 208i  TASCAM 

 USB Digital Audio Interface with Software 

   

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 that you can control via the free TASCAM Control software. With a pair of XLR/TRS combo inputs on the front panel and an 8-channel optical input around back, the TASCAM Series 208i USB interface offers up to 10 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.
