The four-channel US-4x4HR is a member of the Tascam US-HR series of high-resolution USB audio interfaces and an enhanced version of the popular Tascam US-4x4. It offers four mic/line inputs, two of which can also be used for direct input of a guitar or bass, four balanced line outputs, two headphone jacks, and MIDI I/O to your Windows or Mac computer or your iPhone or iPad*. This interface is ideal for multitrack recordings of, for example, two instruments and two vocalists, or for multimedia productions with high demands for easy operation and studio-quality sound.
