The Tascam Series 102i is a 10-in/2-out USB audio/MIDI interface designed for studio, home, and live recording. It features two XLR/TRS combo mic/line/instrument inputs with Tascam’s Ultra HDDA mic preamps, delivering transparent, ultra-low-noise audio at up to 24-bit/192 kHz resolution. An optical S/MUX expansion port allows up to 8 additional input channels, giving you 10 total inputs. The interface includes two ¼-inch analog outputs and dual headphone outputs for versatile monitoring. Built-in DSP effects—reverb, compressor, 4-band EQ, and phase invert—are managed through free Tascam Control software, which also provides flexible routing and mixer control. The angled tabletop design and large monitor knob offer easy access and fast adjustments. A Monitor Balance control enables zero-latency monitoring, and +48V phantom power is available on each input. With its expandable inputs, powerful dual headphone amps, and efficient internal processing, the Series 102i delivers a reliable and flexible solution for growing audio production needs.
