From Our Research Team:

A Great First Audio Interface!

TASCAM's mega-popular US-122L may be all the interface you need for your small-scale home recording and mobile recording needs. And considering its great price and essential input/output offering, it makes the perfect first interface for anyone diving into recording. The TASCAM US-122L connects to your computer via USB and offers up two microphone inputs - with phantom power - so you can use it alongside any microphone. And, thanks to an instrument input, it's easy to connect up your guitar and sing along - making the TASCAM US-122L perfect for solo musicians crafting their demos.

TASCAM US-122L USB 2x2 USB Audio Interface at a Glance:
  • Two microphone inputs - complete with phantom power
  • Inputs to connect your keyboard or your guitar
  • Portable and USB-powered - the perfect match for your laptop
  • Excellent 24-bit/96kHz resolution for creating great-sounding demos

Two microphone inputs - complete with phantom power
The TASCAM US-122L is loaded with two XLR microphone inputs, which you can do a lot with - perfect for home and mobile recording. You can mike up your guitar as you sing in through another microphone. Or, you and friend and sing in harmonies over the guitar tracks you just recorded. The two XLR inputs are also great for recording band practices - just snag a feed from the mixer in your practice room, connect the TASCAM US-122L to your laptop via USB, and you've got band practice captured.

Inputs to connect your keyboard or your guitar
In addition to the TASCAM US-122L's two microphone inputs, there are also two line inputs. That way, you can connect up 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 listen back to your recordings and main outputs on the US-122L come in the form of RCA.

Portable and USB-powered - the perfect match for your laptop
If it's portability you're after, then you've found a great interface! The US-122L 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 laptop on your desktop or at the coffee house - wherever you need to set up shop and get to work.

Excellent 24-bit/96kHz resolution for creating great-sounding demos
The TASCAM US-122L is capable of a surprisingly high level of sound quality, when you consider its great price. It records all the way up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. When you consider that CD-quality is just 16-bit/44.1kHz, you know you'll be ready to create radio-ready demos with the TASCAM US-122L in your arsenal.

Can't Beat the Quality to Price Ratio

I've had the machine for about 3 weeks, and I haven't had any problems so far. It's basic and completely functional. With the price, I doubt another unit can compare.

Big Power in a Little Package!

by Justin Chamberlain from Santa Maria, CA

Ok, Let's start with one of the best features of this little box... Phantom power from USB bus powered device. That translates in 5 volts becoming 19 volts without external power cables. I wish I coul... read more [+]d control which jack had Phantom power. Sometimes I want to run one Phantom power mic and one not. That's a drawback.

Install was super easy and the software bundle is great! You're up and running in minutes. Although this is USB 1.0 compatible I can't imagine using it without USB 2.0; the latency for straight wave recording is brutal. You HAVE to use ASIO "driver" for no latency recording. That translates into more processor and memory requirements.

Sound quality is top notch for an audio interface though I feel it's a little sluggish compared to Creative's EMU. The dual XLR and 1/4 mic input and the switchable Guitar input work great. We've went to direct guitar recording which was something we wouldn't do before this unit.

Very portable and easy to use. Fit seamlessly with my home studio and with Windows XP; I've set it as my primary audio device and record with it in all my music software. It's MIDI integration and time sync are unmatched in it's class.

My only complaint is the fact that when you turn on Phantom power it powers both jacks and it tends to have some latency problems with direct wave recording.

All-in-all the best bang for your buck! Creative's competitive unit has half the features and compatibility issues. Best purchase I've made for home studio in a while! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
