Tascam US-4X4HR 4 Mic 4IN 4OUT Versatile USB MIDI Audio Interface for for Recording Podcasting

4 XLR mic inputs and 4 TRS line inputs (IN 1-2 guitar input support) audio interface with implemented MIDI IN/OUT ports. Equipped loopback function and OBS support makes this interface an excellent choice for podcasts and live streaming. The new US-4x4HR offers simple and intuitive operation, sophisticated looks, a rich assortment of software bundles, and improved audio performance with 192 kHz support, thanks to the newly enhanced audio circuit.

Optimal interface for home recording with 4 mic/line inputs, USB bus power, and 2 headphone outputs
The US-4x4HR is equipped with 4 mic/line inputs with guitar input support on IN 1-2 plus 2 headphone outputs that can be put to use in various music/multi-media production environments such as vocal/guitar simultaneous recordings and multitrack recordings. The unit is also equipped with a USB-C port to be easily powered by USB bus power.

Natural, crisp & clear sound quality thanks to the implemented Ultra HDDA Mic Preamp with 192 kHz support
High resolution reproduction in the US-HR series has been pursued based on TASCAM's policy to recreate sound as close to the original as possible. Therefore, the in-house developed Ultra HDDA mic preamp combined with a newly improved audio circuit delivers enhanced audio performance with the most transparent and low-noise sound.

The US-4x4HR can be used with computers or smartphones to easily create podcasts or live streams. The audio can be switched between stereo/mono, and the loopback function allows the audio from the computer to be returned to the streaming software for playback during live streams. US-4x4HR also supports OBS, which is popular and used worldwide.

Capitalizing on our experience of being one of the pioneers in manufacturing USB audio interfaces, we achieved further stability in our native driver. The audio buffer size can be set starting from 4 samples (Windows only) to give the best performance to every different environment; maximizing the capability of the computer in use while creating a low-latency environment.
