list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems and works with all major DAWs, including Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unit is designed and built-in Germany and features 8 MIDAS designed microphone preamps, which is definitely a firm selling point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the channels provide an optional 48v phantom power, great if you&#8217;re using condenser microphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the audio interface&#8217;s inputs\/outputs, it has a diverse range of ports, including both combination XLR\/TRS, TRS, ADAT, MIDI &amp; SPDIF (all of which are specified above in the technical specs section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interface provides 96kHz\/24-bit recording resolution, and it delivers zero-latency direct monitoring on all analog inputs whilst recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, when taking into account the UMC1820&#8217;s price, I\/O&#8217;s, features and 3-year manufacturers warranty, it&#8217;s easy to see why it&#8217;s an attractive prospect and ultimately a great buy for someone looking for a very affordable 8-channel audio interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The brand is well-known and reputable<\/li><li>Product is well-reviewed and scores favorably in customer review

affordable option for those wanting a rack-mountable audio interface with a decent amount of inputs\/outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unit is compatible with the majority of digital audio workstations that exist, and can be used with Mac and PC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, it can also be used with iPad, iOS and other tablets, by using the class-compliant drivers that Tascam has available for download on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it doesn&#8217;t include some of the features and ports that the formally discussed&nbsp;Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820 audio interface has, including ADAT and SPDIF connectivity, and not to mention the MIDAS designed preamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None-the-less, the US-16&#215;08 does provide 96kHz\/24-bit recording resolution, so it&#8217;s definitely a solid unit, and the customer review ratings affirm this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Tascam&nbsp;US-16&#215;08 is a good quality interface and may be a good option for those who require iPad, iOS and other tablet connectivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we don&#8217;t see many other selling points of this, when comparing it to other interfaces in the list, for example, the cheaper&nbsp;Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Well known brand<\/li><li>Product is well-reviewed and scores favorably in customer review ratings<\/li><li>iPad, iOS &amp; Tablet

sleek metal chassis, with black and silver trim. It looks the part, but how does it sound?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it boasts low-noise crystal preamps and high-quality A\/D converters, which give it that premium-quality sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M-Audio have been sure to only use the best internal circuitry, with the unit having a roundtrip latency of around 2.59ms, which is extremely low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unit records at 24-bit\/192kHz, and come with a large software suite, which includes a lite edition of Pro Tools, Ableton Live Lite and much more (all shown above in the features section).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the unit&#8217;s connectivity is concerned, it has all of the basics which include XLR, TRS, and MIDI input\/output (all shown in detail within the technical specs section).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the M-Audio Air 192|4 8 X 4 is definitely a great unit for those who want premium-quality sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we don&#8217;t see how it tops the formerly spoken about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainpunch.com\/8-channel-audio-interfaces\/#Focusrite_Scarlett_18i8_3rd_Gen_8_Channel_Audio_interface\">Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (3rd Gen)<\/a>.&nbsp;
