About the 102i
The Tascam 102i is a versatile audio interface that supports up to 10 input channels, including two XLR/TRS combo inputs on the front panel and an 8-channel optical input at the rear. It features two Ultra-HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) microphone preamplifiers, which are known for their ultra-low noise performance. The interface supports up to 24-bit/192kHz operation, providing superior studio-quality recordings. It includes a DSP input/output mixer for signal routing, controlled via the TASCAM Control software, and offers built-in effects such as reverb, compression, and a 4-band EQ. The Tascam 102i also includes Steinberg DAW software, IK Multimedia AmpliTube guitar amplifier modeling software, and IK Multimedia T-RackS mastering suite. However, reviews have noted that while the DAC performance is reasonable, the ADC performance is disappointing, and the headphone amplifier has high output impedance, which can affect sound quality.
