Separate controls for line and headphone out means you don't need to switch off monitors to work in headphones. Connect the US-144mkII to monitors through the line output or use headphones with the front-mounted stereo 1/4' jack. MIDI input and output jacks allow connection of synths and drum machines. Zero-latency monitoring is available for recording without the delay going to a computer and back. The US-144mkII connects to Mac or Windows computers using USB 2.0, and the unit is powered over the USB cable. A pair of S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs is also included, for a total of four inputs and outputs at up to 96kHz/24-bit audio quality. There's also a pair of balanced line inputs and a guitar-level in for direct recording of electric guitar or bass. The US-144mkII starts with two great-quality XLR microphone preamps with phantom power for condenser microphones.
The most popular TASCAM 4-channel USB audio interface has been updated with better audio specs and a fresh new look for the US-144mkII.
