General
Zoom is best known for its great recorders and related products. With the TAC-2, however, the manufacturer has introduced a practical audio interface for home studio applications, equipped with a Thunderbolt connector. High-quality audio processing of up to 24 bits/192 kHz ensures that any incoming and outgoing signal is reproduced in minute detail with perfect tone.
Style and function of the TAC-2
The Zoom TAC-2 instantly distinguishes itself thanks to its elegant desktop design, featuring a silver-coloured housing with black accents. The interface is equipped with two inputs, which can be used for microphone and line signals, and an instrument input is also provided for your electric guitar.
Central encoder and configuration software
Thanks to a large central encoder there is no need for a jumble of buttons - simply select an input source or output channel and adjust the volume. Would you like to set more parameters? Use the included Zoom TAC-2 MixEfx software for more control over the functionality of the Thunderbolt audio interface. It allows you to set a sample rate, to determine the routing of the channels, to adjust low-cut and phase reverse settings, and much more. The software also provides you with a clear overview of all incoming and outgoing signals, so you can monitor for and anticipate overload clipping.
