Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface (Digital Recording PC Workstation)
Owners manual here (specifications on page 32): http://tascam.com/content/downloads/products/311/US122_Eng.pdf
Product review here: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/oct03/articles/tascamus122.htm
From product review: “The US122 aims to provide portable, easy to use, professional recording capabilities for Mac and Windows laptop or desktop recording/production systems. It offers two-channel audio I/O at up to 24-bit, 48kHz with phantom-powered mic preamps, plus single MIDI In and Out ports. Measuring just 196mm by 149mm and weighing in at less than a kilogram, it's a solid, pleasing little box, which gives the impression of being sturdy and well built. The top panel is home to five chunky knobs controlling headphone and line out levels, 'direct monitor' volume (for very low-latency monitoring of input signals), and input gain (trimmable from line to mic level) for the left and right channels. There are also switches to activate a high-impedance mode on both inputs so that guitars and basses can be DI'd, and a switch to supply phantom power to any mics that may require it — which is impressive given that the US122 is fully host-powered and requires no mains adaptor of its own. Also on the top panel are various LEDs, which light up to indicate a successful USB host connection, MIDI activity in both directions, and the presence of an input signal (with a clip warning).”
Features:
2 XLR phantom-powered mic inputs with inserts
2 line-level ins switchable to guitar level
16 channels of MIDI I/O
Adjustable zero-latency monitoring
Includes Cubase SX3 Demo and Gigastudio 24 software bundle
2 line outs with level controls
Headphone out with level control
Self-powered through USB
Rugged steel construction
Condition 10/10. Bought new and always used indoors in my (aircon) home studio. With original CDs and user manual.
$100
