TASCAM : iU2 TASCAM

Audio/MIDI Interface for Mac, Windows and iOS Devices

TASCAM's iU2 iOS and USB audio interface makes it easy to create great-sounding recordings anywhere, anytime! And considering its great price and essential input/output offering, it makes the perfect first interface for anyone diving into recording. The TASCAM iU2 connects to your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) with the included dock connection cable, or to your computer via USB, and offers up two microphone inputs - with phantom power - so you can use it with any microphone. And, thanks to an instrument input, it's easy to connect up your guitar and sing along - making the TASCAM iU2 iOS and USB audio interface perfect for crafting polished demos on the go.

Two microphone inputs - complete with phantom power

The TASCAM iU2 is loaded with two microphone inputs - perfect for home and mobile recording. You can mic up your guitar as you sing in through another microphone. Or, you and friend can sing in harmonies over the guitar tracks you just recorded. The dual inputs are also great for recording band practices - just snag a feed from the mixer in your practice room, connect the TASCAM iU2 to your laptop or iOS device, and you've got band practice captured.

Inputs to connect your keyboard or your guitar

The TASCAM iU2's two microphone inputs double as a pair of balanced line inputs too. That way, you can connect your keyboard in stereo, or hook up your drum machine or any other line level gear. One of the line inputs is switchable to high impedance, so you can directly plug in your guitar or bass, for fast and easy recording. MIDI I/O is also onboard, so you can connect your keyboard or MIDI controller that way, and use it to play your favorite software virtual instruments. A headphone output with dedicated level control makes it easy for you to monitor your recording session, with RCA main outputs available for studio monitors.

Compact and USB-powered - the perfect match for your portable devices

If it's portability you're after, then you've found a great interface! The iU2 neatly sits on a desktop and easily fits into your backpack or the front pocket of your laptop case. It's small size also makes it pair nicely with your iOS devices on your desktop or at the coffee house - wherever you need to set up shop and get to work.
