Product Overview

The Tascam US-4x4 combines great audio quality and ergonomic design for a powerful 4-in/4-out USB2.0 audio interface.

Four of Tascam’s Ultra-HDDA mic/line preamps provide up to 57dB of gain with nearly inaudible noise and distortion specs. The audio design features high-performance, musical components like NE5532 op-amps for rich sound quality without coloring the source.

The US-4x4 includes class-compliant drivers for plug-and-play operation on Mac OSX and iOS devices like the iPad, and a simple driver adds ASIO compatibility for Windows. MIDI in and out are also included for connecting synths, drum machines, and controllers. The interface includes two DAW applications to choose from – both Cakewalk SONAR X3 LE and Ableton Live Lite 9.

The US-4x4 records all four channels at up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution. Even if your target is CD or MP3, recording at higher resolutions gives you more to work with in the mix and can result in a smoother sound. The mic preamps and A/D converters work together to capture the clearest signal path, whether you work at 96k or at lower sampling rates.

The US-4x4 is built with class-compliant drivers built into the unit. Not only does this mean that it can be used with many computers without first installing a driver, it also opens the possibilities of use with tablets such as Apple's iPad.

Use Apple's Camera Connection Kit (sold separately) to connect the US-4x4 to an iPad or other iOS device. Utilize the multichannel audio and MIDI functions with any of the thousands of iOS audio apps, like Garage Band or Tascam's Portastudio app. Class Compliant drivers also allow the interfaces to be used with Android and Windows-based tablets. (When connected, the US-4x4 will not provide power to the iOS device.)
