Tascam Fw1082 Firewire Audio Interface
Product Info
Utilizing the latest FireWire technology, the Tascam FW-1082 is a complete studio solution with audio I/O, MIDI I/O and a full-featured control surface in one affordable package. Whether you're just starting out or looking to upgrade your hardware, the FW-1082 is an ideal choice for a compact recording system.
Four microphone inputs, each with phantom power for condenser mics, record to multiple tracks for later overdubbing or mixdown. The first two inputs have analogue insert points, so you can insert a compressor to keep from distorting or add any external effect to your recording tracks. Up to eight line level signals can be recorded or mixed simultaneously - such as synthesizers or multi-effects processors. An SPDIF connection allows you to connect digital sources for pristine audio quality.
The FW-1082 includes a full-featured MIDI interface with two MIDI inputs and two MIDI outputs, so you can connect several synths and controllers. The control surface of the FW-1082 features nine touch-sensitive moving faders that snap to position when you select a bank of eight faders. A full selection of transport buttons, cursor keys and a shuttle wheel allow you to quickly jump to any point of your song without touching a mouse.
The four assignableencoders provide exact control over pan, EQ* or aux sends of your workstation software mix. Separate headphone and monitor outputs and controls are also provided. It's compatible with all of the top DAW recording applications, including the bundled Cubase LE 48-track workstation. With its audio, MIDI and control surface features, the FW-1082 is the perfect command center for your home studio.
*Control Surface compatibility for some features is subject to the DAW program's native driver software. Check for the latest driver software updates and documentation.
