Eight Ultra-HDDA microphone preamps deliver the cleanest and quietest operation in their class while delivering up to 57dB of gain. An additional eight line inputs are provided, two of them switchable to instrument level for direct guitar or bass recording. Built into the US-16x08 is a DSP mixer for low-latency digital mixing. The US-16x08 can also be used as a standalone mic preamp. Whether using the ergonomically-designed angled desktop stand or mounting with the included rack ears, the US-16x08 includes enough I/O for almost any music recording application.

Review: UPDATING MY REVIEW So far an excellent basic recording unit for me and for my limited budget. 1. Phantom power supply switch gives power to both preamps. Wouldn't it be better to have 2 different power switches one per preamp? 2. Sonar and Ableton Live seemed memory and storage high consuming programs (SO I DECIDED TO USE OTHER TYPE OF PROGRAMS SUCH AS ADOBE AUDITION AND STUDIO ONE 4 BY PRESONUS AND IS NOW WORKING PERFECT) 3. Used this Tascam with Cubase 7 and Audacity 1.0.2 and works ok. Got same sampling match error on interface driver and it seems it resets the unit to 44.1 KHz sampling. Don't know if this unit is really able to handle 96 KHz. (UPGRADED THE FIRMWARE TO MOST RECENT VERSION, AS WELL AS DRIVER CONTROLLER AND INTERFACE AND IS NOW WORKING PERFECT, ABLE TO RECORD AS PROMISED 96KHZ AND 24 BIT) 4. When I check my voice recordings it always sounds too bright so I always have to use noise gate filter prior any record plus post EQ on them, it could be due to low budget mic I have. (I PURCHASED A LOW-MID RANGE CONDENSER MICROPHONE SENNHEISER MK4 ANALOG AND THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE SOLVED ALREADY) 5. Used this interface without noise gate but my recording place is not as silent as desirable but interface does its part. (PURCHASED A QUAD XLR CABLE AND TREATED MY ROOM A LITTLE MORE AND MY RECORDING ARE IMPROVING THEIR QA) 6. This beauty is Japanese-German design, there are some complains about knob sizes and distance between then... I suppose this is the Japanese side of hardware design. (NOTHING ELSE TO ADD) 7. It seems to be true... Its ASIO driver is not multiclient and it stops recording or playing something if you minimize your recording software screen to look for something else on the web. (WITH FIRMWARE PLUS CONTROLLER SW VERSION UPGRADES SEEMS THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED) 8. Hardware monitoring feature is zero latency. I love it. (DIRECT MONITORING IS OK) My setting: 1. HP ELITEBOOK 840 G3 with 18Gb RAM and 255 Gb SDD. Windows 10 64 bits. 2. Tascam US-2x2 3. Sennheiser MK4 analog condenser microphone. 4. Dragon pad anti-pop filter. 5. Neewer armstand (THAT WAS CRAPPY SO I SOLD IT, NOW I PURCHASED A STAGE MIC STAND AND IS BETTER) 6. Steinberg Cubase 7 / Audacity 1.0.2 / Studio One 4 / Adobe Audition & Premiere
Review: I used this initially for connecting drum mics, have also used to connect others instruments into.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I only see 10 line outputs, but it says 20. What am i missing here?**
A: There are also 8 adat outputs via optical cable and 2 digital outs via a single digital coax cable. These, in addition to the 10 analog line outs you mentioned add up to 20.  The same configuration works in reverse for inputs.

**Q: Id like to record for up to 7 mics at the same time for a dnd session. is this a good option for that?**
A: hi, of course, in this one you can add 16 at the same time.....I record Drums, and I use 12 at a time without problems

**Q: Is this interface compatible with logic 10 as DAW?**
A: If you meant, Logic Pro X, this Tascam interface works great. Just as long as the Tascam is powered on before you open Logic it will immediately be recognized and you can be recording within seconds at input defaults or configure as you please. No drivers need on Mac: plug 'n play. Thus far I've used it under OS 10.9 to 10.12.6 with perfect compatibility with Logic Pro X.

**Q: Can this be used to play four separate audio files simultaneously, outputting to eight channels?**
A: Yes it can! You'll have to load your 4 files (or 8 mono files, or even more if you want to mix 2 or more together) into a DAW like Reaper and then assign them to one (or more) if the 8 outputs.
