Tascam US-2x2HR

Tascam US-2x2HR Audio Interface

The US-2x2HR is a 2-in/2-out USB audio/MIDI interface for home studios, podcasters, and mobile creators. It records at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz through two Ultra-HDDA microphone preamps with switchable +48V phantom power, and adds MIDI I/O for keyboards and controllers. This interface suits creators who need professional-grade preamp performance, real MIDI connectivity, and streaming-ready loopback in a bus-powered desktop.

Ultra-HDDA Preamps and Loopback

The discrete Ultra-HDDA preamp topology keeps self-noise exceptionally low even with low-output dynamic microphones. A built-in loopback function makes this model ready for podcasts and live streams. Bundled software: Steinberg Cubase LE, Cubasis LE3, IK Multimedia Sample Tank 4 SE (30 GB), and 3-month Antares Auto-Tune Unlimited.

Combo Inputs: Mic, Line, Instrument

Each of the two inputs accepts XLR or 6.3 mm jacks, switchable between mic/line and instrument level.

• Two balanced XLR inputs provide +48V phantom power and 56 dB of clean gain for microphones.
• Line/Instrument Inputs: 2 × 6.3 mm TRS/TS combo — +4 dBu line, ≥1 MΩ instrument
• MIDI: 5-pin DIN I/O

Outputs and Zero-Latency Monitoring

On the rear panel, balanced 6.3 mm TRS line outputs feed studio monitors or an outboard mixer; a headphone jack and monitor-mix knob enable latency-free tracking.

• Line Outputs: 2 × 6.3 mm TRS balanced — +4 dBu / +20 dBu
• Headphone Output: 6.3 mm stereo — 18 mW + 18 mW
• Direct Monitoring: zero-latency mono/stereo blend

USB-C, iOS, and Low-Latency Driver

A single USB Type-C port on it handles data and power on computer setups; iPhone and iPad users connect via USB-C or with an Apple Lightning adapter and the optional PS-P520U.

• Connection: USB 2.0 via Type-C — bus-powered, 1.75 W
• Sample Rate / Bit Depth: up to 192 kHz / 24-bit
• Compatibility: Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS — Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic Pro, Ableton Live
