General
The Zoom TAC-8 has been developed for musicians who require high-quality sound transmissions on stage as well as in the studio. It offers no fewer than 8 analogue inputs and 10 analogue outputs, as well as 10 digital inputs and outputs, a Word Clock and MIDI in/out. You won't have to worry about latency during comprehensive multi-track recordings and performances - the TAC-8 takes care of everything with the greatest of ease.
Great for live and studio applications
Eight analogue inputs allow you to record an entire band, but you can also use them to capture all the individual drums and cymbals of a kit, for instance. Audio is transmitted at an impressive speed thanks to the interface's Thunderbolt technology, and a software mixer enables you to adjust the signals to your preferences while you're recording. Install the TAC-8 in your rack for live applications, and connect it to your computer by means of the Thunderbolt cable. Use the interface's TRS output to link it to your mixer or PA system and you're all set.
Thunderbolt technology
Thunderbolt technology opens up new possibilities with regards to speed. This Zoom interface comes with a Thunderbolt cable that is twice as fast as a USB 3.0 cable, transferring 10 gigabits per second, so you won't suffer from any latency or jitter. In short, the TAC-8 is a modern, high-grade interface for musicians and producers that's not only versatile, but remarkably user-friendly too.
