ZOOM / TAC-2

The ZOOM TAC-2 is an audio interface that utilizes the next-generation high-speed interface standard, Thunderbolt technology. It delivers high-resolution playback and recording at up to 24-bit/192kHz with ultra-low latency, making recording and overdubbing easy.

■Audio Interface

・Thunderbolt
This is the ultimate high-speed interface, boasting speeds more than twice that of USB 3.0, 12 times that of Firewire 800, and a whopping 20 times that of USB 2.0. It's unaffected by computer jitter (minor timing discrepancies), eliminating the need for an external master clock source.

・Thunderbolt bus-powered and supports microphone/instrument/line inputs
Two XLR/TRS combo jacks on the rear panel accept microphone- or line-level audio signals. The front panel features a Hi-Z input and headphone output for direct connection of instruments like guitars and basses, allowing for easy connection and disconnection of instruments and headphones.

・""TAC-2 MixEfx"" software for full control of the TAC-2
Control the TAC-2's built-in mixer and high-quality monitor effects, such as reverb and delay, from your Mac computer. A loopback function is also available, sending the Mac computer's output back to the computer.
