Killer I/O and DSP-enhanced Workflow
 
The TASCAM US-16x08 USB audio interface is an excellent bread-and-butter option for anyone looking for enough flexibility to handle a variety of recording setups. For starters, the connections onboard the US-16x08 lets you hook up eight microphones and leaves you with enough line-level I/O for outboard processing, monitor mixes, stereo instruments, and more. There's also MIDI I/O for keyboards and controllers. Onboard DSP takes care of essential processing and effects, as well as low latency routing, and since it's totally class compliant, you can use your TASCAM US-16x08 with your Mac, Windows PC, or mobile gadget.
 
Onboard DSP delivers low-latency mixing and handy onboard processing
The TASCAM US-16x08's integrated DSP equips this USB 2.0 audio interface with the kind of flexibility the home recording experts here at Sweetwater don't typically see on such a budget-friendly model. In addition to the DSP mixer, which offers you virtually latency-free monitor mixing, this onboard processor is robust enough to provide each of the US-16x08's input channels with a 4-band EQ and compression, offering you polished sound as you record.
