In addition to audio interfacing, the US-122 gives you 16 channels of MIDI I/O for use with synthesizers and other sound generating equipment. Its two line-level outputs provide control for levels, and a dedicated headphone output is also included. The US-122 also provides a dedicated control for adjustable zero-latency direct monitoring, providing a sonically pure reference point before entering DAW processing.
Two line-level inputs on balanced 1/4' TRS jacks are included, and are switchable to guitar-level for direct instrument recording into your computer. As one of the only small computer interfaces with analog inserts, you can use the US-122 to place hardware devices (compressors, etc.) into the recording signal chain. The US-122 features two XLR-based, phantom-powered mic inputs. If you want to form a bridge between your music and your computer, there's a new solution that combines affordability and ease-of-use with powerful capabilities and excellent built-in compatibility with your computer: the US-122 from TASCAM and Frontier Design Group.
