Super small and helpful

Jim Sick, 09.09.2018

After my Steinberg interface refused to serve me, I was on the beach for a replacement. It should be as small as possible, does not need much, robust.
So I came across Tascam after some research. Many positive reviews, so ordered, and tried.

My field of application is the home studio, it only needs the XLR input, a use under Asio4All goes smoothly. Wonderful.

The sound is very good, I hear no noise, and so I can level it down a bit to prevent spikes, without that the end result rushes me after an adjustment. Great.

Workmanship is excellent, the entire chassis is made of metal (I guess aluminum), the pots do not move too easily, everything has a reasonable feel. That's how I imagine it.

The features are limited by what it is manageable. Two entrances, Chinchlineout, Headphoneout separately controllable. Only the supplied software could have been saved. With such a small device, I do not need different routing options. That could confuse some beginners, and not so experienced users ever.

All in all, I'm satisfied, the part does its job under Windows and various Linuxe without blame.
For the small home setup highly recommended.

Good sound card for nomadic use

utakan666, 25.01.2019

After a merciless struggle to install the drivers (they were not "digitally signed, several Shift Windows 7 have finally solved the problem), the card finally works!

Its very correct (good stereo image is not the same as my UAD twin but we are not on the same budget)
Note that I use only the headphone output for the moment (Ultrasonic Pro 900) which has a reserve amplification sufficient, even for a headphone + 200 ohm in my opinion.

Pream Di ok, not too much breath (pleasantly surprised by the Di which requires little gain before cutting: little gain = less breath), 48 volt niquel!

The buffer in 64 samples (9ms) does not seem very stable on my small portable config (Sony Vaio / I5 / SSd / 6 g0 Ram) but works correctly in 128 samples (14 ms) (which strangely induces less latency)

We will see in time but the box looks solid

Good product !
