USB 2.0 audio interface with on-board DSP mixer and up to 96 kHz recording

Review: To ensure superior sound, Tascam organized months of tests and trials to design the HDDA mic pre-amplifier. Manufactured with a discrete structure and select premium parts, the HDDA pre-amp achieves wider frequency response (10Hz to 68kHz), low S/N ratio, low noise and low THD+N.

In the process of creating music, many engineers have started utilizing high-resolution formats while recording to ensure the best quality sounds. The US-322 and the US-366 are suited perfectly for these high-quality minded recordings.
