General
The Tascam US-16x08 is a USB audio interface that's bursting with typical Tascam quality. This audio interface feels just as much at home on your desk as it does mounted in a 19-inch rack, and features an impressive 16 inputs, 8 outputs and MIDI IN/OUT. The inputs can be divided into 8 microphone inputs with switchable phantom power (XLR) and 8 balanced jack inputs, two of which - located at the front - can also be used as guitar inputs. The first ten inputs have their own gain control, while the other six allow you to switch between -10 dBV and +4 dBu. The Tascam US-16x08 is suitable for PC, Mac and iOS.
The Tascam US-16x08: Quiet and clear
The US-16x08 is equipped with Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) microphone preamps, ensuring top-notch preamplification for your dynamic and condenser microphones. You won't easily find another interface with the same clarity and low noise level - practically below hearing range - within the same price range. The formidable sound of the US-16x08 is transferred to your computer via USB, where it can be registered at an audio resolution of 96 kHz/24 bits. It's possible to use the interface in stand-alone mode, for instance as an extension of your mixer.
Quick and practical with a stylish touch
To reduce latency to a minimum, this Tascam audio interface is equipped with a DSP mixer, including user-friendly software. As a result, each channel has its own 4-band equalizer, compressor and reverb, so you're able to clean up your channel output before sending it to your preferred DAW. The Tascam US-16x08 is guaranteed to work perfectly with Sonar, ProTools, Cubase, Live, Studio One and Garage Band. To top it all off, the practical and comprehensive interface has been given a remarkably stylish and practical angled design by the German company Designbox.

Tascam US-16x08 USB Audio Interface
If there's one main thing I would change I would add another headphone socket. An interface like this is perfect for collaboration apart from the lack of headphone outs. That said, I already have a cheap 4 output headphone amp, so I'm not too bothered.
Bax had the cheapest price I could find anywhere for this item, and they delivered it by Royal Mail on the day I requested, no extra shipping fees, in perfect condition, so I couldn't ask more of them than that.

Tascam US-16x08 USB Audio Interface
## Strengths
The preamp quality is genuinely impressive at this price point, offering clean gain without introducing noticeable noise even when pushed. The eight XLR/TRS combo inputs on the front panel provide excellent flexibility for recording multiple instruments or vocalists simultaneously, while the additional eight line inputs on the back expand your options further.
Build quality deserves praise - the metal chassis feels substantial and durable, likely to withstand years of studio use. The large gain knobs are tactile and responsive, allowing for precise adjustments when setting levels.
The onboard DSP mixer software, while not the most intuitive, provides valuable routing options and low-latency monitoring capabilities that prove essential during complex recording sessions. The ability to create custom monitor mixes is particularly useful when recording multiple musicians.
## Limitations
The US-16x08 isn't without drawbacks. The software interface feels somewhat dated compared to competitors, with a steeper learning curve than necessary. Some users may find the physical size bulkier than expected, demanding significant desk real estate.
Driver stability on some Windows systems can be occasionally problematic, requiring reinstallation after certain updates. Additionally, the unit lacks MIDI ports, which might disappoint those looking for an all-in-one solution.
The headphone outputs, while functional, don't deliver the same impressive quality as the main outputs, sometimes lacking power for high-impedance headphones.
## Verdict
The Tascam US-16x08 delivers excellent value for project studios and small recording setups. Its combination of quality preamps, extensive I/O options, and solid construction make it a worthwhile investment despite software quirks and occasional driver issues. For those needing multiple inputs without stretching to professional-grade interfaces, this Tascam unit strikes an impressive balance between functionality and affordability.

Vanwege het vernieuwen van mijn desktop computer in mijn vaste home studio was een andere externe geluidskaart nodig. Gezien de goed blijvende prestaties van de eerste aanschaf onder WINDOWS 10 en Cubase, is mijn keuze opnieuw op de TASCAM US-16x08 gevallen. Top product! 5 sterren waard.
