The Tascam US-42B MiniStudio-Series has been developed as a high-quality computer audio interface (for personal or professional use), that allows anyone to broadcast their audio-programs out into the world. The MiniStudio-Series Creator gives access to a range of techniques (via trigger pads) used by pro-broadcasters such as pre-recorded clapping, cheers and other sounds from the press of a button, a ducking function that lowers background music when making announcements, and voice effects and reverb to improve the atmosphere and quality of your audio program. The US-42B has impressive audio circuits inherited from music creation devices, allowing clear-sound capture just by connecting a mic or other sound source (Tascam TM-70 or TM-82 ideal). By providing an EASY page and EXPERT page within the sound effects/triggered-sound software, the US-42B is incredibly accessible for both beginner and veteran broadcasters.
