Tascam US-1X2HR – 1-Mic/2-In/2-Out High Resolution USB Audio/MIDI Interface

Product Overview

The TASCAM US-1X2HR is a 1-mic/2-in/2-out high-resolution USB audio interface for home recording, podcasting, and live streaming, featuring one XLR mic input and one TRS line/guitar input at 192 kHz sample rate support. A built-in loopback function and OBS compatibility make it an effective entry point for single-person podcast and streaming workflows. USB-C bus power keeps the cable count minimal on a desktop setup.

Product Description

The US-1X2HR accepts one XLR microphone and one TRS line or high-impedance instrument signal for 2-channel simultaneous recording at up to 192 kHz, delivering improved audio performance over earlier TASCAM interfaces through an enhanced audio circuit. The loopback function routes computer audio back into the streaming software, allowing computer playback audio to be mixed with the microphone input during live streams and podcasts without a virtual audio device. OBS support simplifies setup for the most widely used free streaming platform. A headphone output with independent level control provides zero-latency direct monitoring. MIDI I/O is included for hardware synthesizer and controller connectivity. USB-C bus power operates the interface from any USB-C computer port or charger. The US-1X2HR is available at Creation Networks alongside the US-2X2HR for two-mic setups.
