A Perfect Fit for Project Studios!

The FW-1082 is a new FireWire Audio/MIDI interface and Control Surface priced and sized for home studios. It uses the wide bandwidth of FireWire to provide 8 analog inputs, 2 digital inputs, two MIDI ins and outs, extremely low audio latency and quick transmission for its nine touch-sensitive moving faders.

The Tascam FW-1082 Audio/MIDI Interface and Control Surface from TASCAM not only provides tons of audio and MIDI I/O to small studios, but offers a control surface with moving-faders for a previously unheard-of price. The FW-1082 features 10 inputs, including four balanced XLR mic inputs with phantom power. Two MIDI inputs and outputs are also included, plus S/PDIF digital I/O. Eight channel strips each feature a 60mm touch-sensitive moving fader and select/solo/mute buttons, and a moving master fader is also provided.

The FW-1082 is a great choice for small studios, whether someone is just starting out or if they're upgrading their equipment. Its four microphone inputs, two with analog insert jacks, have phantom power for professional condenser microphones. Four additional line inputs and a S/PDIF stereo input add up to 10 inputs simultaneously, each at 96kHz/24-bit audio resolution. Two MIDI inputs and outputs are provided for 32 channels of MIDI synth playback or control. The control surface has nine 60mm touch-sensitive moving faders for silky-smooth control over channel level, pan or aux settings. Four encoders are also available for mix control, as well as transport and jog/shuttle controls. Stereo monitoring is included, and the FW-1082 even mixes signals internally for stand-alone use.

Tascam FW-1082 Features:
  • 10-in/4-out audio interface at 96kHz/24-bit
  • Nine 60mm touch-sensitive moving faders
  • Four balanced XLR / 1/4" TRS mic/line inputs with phantom power

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
Several of my customers use this just as a control surface for Logic, DP, or Pro Tools. This is an excellent addition to any home studio that needs hands-on control.
Kenny Bergle
What a great machine! Tascam reliability and works great with most every software on the planet. For under $600?! We live in a grand time!

Great for small home studios. The faders feel nice although there arent any knobs for pan (you have to assign a track to one knob) Other than that, this product is well worth its price.

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
