Overview
The Tapco Link.USB is a portable 24-bit/96kHz computer audio interface for connecting two channels of audio to a Mac or PC using a common USB connection. Complete with Mackie Tracktion 2 Music Production software.

Exceptional sound quality

For the Link.USB, Tapco started with two of the best mic preamps available in any audio interface at this price range. With combo mic/line/instrument inputs, these Mackie-designed preamps will capture the nuances of any sound you throw at them. This exceptional sound is preserved all the way to your computer thanks to modern 24-bit/96kHz digital audio converters on the way in, as well as the way out to headphones and your S Series Active Studio Monitors.

Small, but mighty

All that great sound potential is cleverly packed into a compact case less than 2 inches high and 8 inches long. Link.USB audio interface tucks comfortably alongside your laptop when you're on the go, and connects with a single USB cable when you're ready to get busy. It's bus powered, meaning it draws its juice from your computer for no-sacrifice recording and mixing, no matter where you end up. And with a unique swivel foot design, you can stand the Link.USB on its side in tighter workspaces, then stow it when it's time to go.

Looks Ain't Deceiving

The Link.USB has soft rubber side-cheeks to protect it from impacts, and keeps it from sliding off your desk if the earth suddenly spins off its axis. Silver side rails act like roll bars to protect its precious knobs from being sheared off while in transit. The TAPCO Link. USB--it's hard working, smart, and sexy--just like you wish everyone else is.

Simple, Powerful, Tracktion 2

The Link.USB interface includes Mackie's Tracktion 2 Music Production Software. It's the easiest software out there to get you started using your computer to record. And once you've mastered the basics, there's plenty of room to grow with Tracktion's truly professional feature set. It even comes bundled with a great assortment of plug-in effects, including Mackie's Dynamics Suite to help you keep the mix tight, plus Mackie's Final Mix CD mastering plug-in for when you're ready to share your music with the world.
