US-1641 Single-Rackspace Audio/MIDI Interface

TASCAM's new US-1641 was introduced at the AES Convention in New York. The single-rackspace USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI interface is packed with I/O, including 16 simultaneous inputs (14 analog inputs plus S/PDIF digital inputs) and four simultaneous outputs, eight studio-quality microphone inputs with phantom power, digital I/O, independent monitor and headphone outputs and 16 channels of MIDI I/O. The US-1641 offers zero-latency hardware monitoring and up to 96kHz sampling rates at 24-bit resolution. It ships bundled with Cubase LE4 and TASCAM's own Continuous Velocity Piano.

"TASCAM has always been at the forefront of USB Audio/MIDI interface technology, from our very successful US-428 and US-122 through our most recent US-122L and US-144," remarked TASCAM Product Development Manager Jim Bailey. "The US-1641 packs an incredible amount of I/O into a single rackspace for live performance recording."
