Tascam Series 208i

USB audio/MIDI interface with 20 in/8 out. Feature TASCAM Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Amplifier) mic preamp circuitry guarantees transparent natural tone with ultra-low noise. A new-generation TASCAM audio interface engine delivers high-definition, 24-bit/192 kHz recording and solid stability. Easily add more input channels to accommodate future growth by using external microphone preamplifiers with S/MUX optical inputs to record drums, guitars, keyboards, vocals, and more. Each S/MUX optical port can accept up to 8 channels of audio input from an ADAT- or S/MUX-compatible device. TASCAM SERIES audio interfaces feature a large, easy-to-grab Monitor control knob that ensures you can quickly adjust the monitor output level. Their angled tabletop design offers easy access to all front-panel controls. A handy Monitor Balance control enables mixing live input with computer playback for zero-latency monitoring. Each analog input channel is served by an individually switched +48 volt phantom power supply for condenser microphones. The SERIES 208i provides eight individual analog outputs for versatile monitoring (up to four stereo pairs of monitor speakers) and surround audio (up to 7.1) for video production. The SERIES interface has 2 individual headphone amplifiers which offer powerful enough dual headphone monitoring. Free, easy-to-use TASCAM Control software manages faders, processing, and the ability to route any audio input (analog, optical, and USB) to any audio output. A DSP input and output mixer is complemented with digital reverb, compressor, phase invert, and 4-band EQ for each channel. Having these processors included internally eliminates all latency issues and takes the load off the computer allowing the PC/Mac to process the audio more efficiently. TASCAM SERIES interfaces support tablets and other mobile devices and are compatible with many applications to meet your recording needs now and in the future. TASCAM SERIES audio interfaces are bundled with world-class software. Record with Steinberg Cubase LE DAW for Windows and Mac computers and Steinberg Cubasis LE DAW for iPad. Both free standing and plug-in versions of AmpliTube and T-RackS are included.

Very good service from Muziker! (I’m a UK customer) Bought after seeing reviews from the likes of Pete Thorn and Tom Quayle and having always used Tascam interfaces. Had assumed the 208i would work seamlessly with a 2021 M1 Mac mini - it does for the most part but still having some problems where the unit will disconnect from the mac unexpectedly / or occasional audio break up. Only thing that fixes it is unplugging from the back of the Mac mini and reconnecting which is a bit of a pain at times. Other than this occasionally issue very happy - a huge improvement in sound quality over my Tascam US1641, it’s just a shame that Tascam haven’t sought to update the drivers since it’s production in 2019. This seems to be a theme with Tascam support, the units don’t seem to be supported for as long as those made by Focusrite for example. The payoff with this particular Tascam however is the build quality, and the ease of use (particularly the direct monitoring feature with volume/blend adjustment on the front panel)
