US-1641 Studio Package

The TASCAM US-1641 Studio Package includes a TASCAM US-1641 USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Computer Interface, dual M-Audio StudioPro 3 Desktop Audio Monitors, MXL 990 & MXL 991 Recording Microphones, a pair of 20' XLR Microphone Cables, a 10' 1/4"-to-RCA dual patch cable, and 2 tripod microphone stands.

TASCAM US-1641 USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Computer Interface
If your band is overflowing with ideas and you're ready to lay down some tracks, or you want to capture the fruit of your church choir's hard work, the 16-channel TASCAM US-1641 computer interface is one of your best choices for properly setting the recording straight. Eight mic/line inputs plus an additional six line inputs offer enough channels to give every instrument and voice a chance to shine and the included Cubase LE, Version 4, offers state-of-the art recording power to craft the right mix.

Small enough to fit into only one rackspace, this TASCAM interface is ideal for both studio and portable computer recording, and since the mic/line inputs are on the front panel, there's no need for crawling behind a rack to get going. On the rear panel, however, there are four balanced line inputs for interfacing with synths, effects, mic preamps, or anything with a line level out. With the TASCAM US-1641 you'll also get up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution without having to lower the input/output count and zero-latency monitoring to prevent distracting delays for your performers during recording.

Besides Cubase LE, you'll also receive the TASCAM Continuous Velocity Piano (PC), a responsive piano virtual instrument powered by GVI in VSTi format. Naturally, the US-1641 is ASIO, GSIF2, and CoreAudio compatible for use with Logic Pro, Digital Performer, Cubase, SONAR, Nuendo, Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack, Vegas, Live, GigaStudio, and most other audio recording software.

M-Audio StudioPro 3 Desktop Audio Monitors
M-Audio StudioPro 3 active monitors feature powerful amplification, custom-tuned cabinets, optimized speaker design, and advanced crossover technology for the best possible sound. Magnetic shielding prevents these desktop audio monitors from interfering with your computer or video monitor.

Stereo Auxiliary Input and Headphone Output
For maximum flexibility, a stereo aux input allows you to plug in a secondary audio source (such as your portable music player) in addition to the main RCA inputs in the back. The volume control works on both inputs simultaneously. Additionally, there is a stereo headphone output next to the aux jack that mutes the sound coming out of the speakers and redirects it to your headphones.

Natural Bass
The custom bass reflex port design discharges very low-frequency signals and delivers a smooth, substantial bass response. Need more? The rear-panel bass boost gives you additional low-frequency gain and makes the monitor speakers versatile for different spaces and listening preferences.

Speaker Enclosure
The M-Audio StudioPro 3 speakers provide a more stable performance with a special medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and impact generated under extreme conditions. Includes carefully placed acoustic material that makes the StudioPro 3 monitor speaker's sound much bigger than they are - resulting in a smooth, natural bass response.
