Quick Start Guide
Before connecting this unit to a computer, the dedicated driver must be installed on the computer.
Thank you for your purchase of the TASCAM US-322/US-366
USB Audio Interface.
This compact USB audio interface is ideal for use as part of
a digital recording system based around a computer. Using
this interface, you can easily mix sounds from the computer,
gaming devices, guitars, synthesizers and other instruments,
as well as, for example, narration using a microphone, and
you can broadcast this mix live on the Internet. The included
driver software has a mixer screen and various effect screens
with faders, knobs, buttons and other controls that make
operation even more intuitive. This unit can be operated
using only USB power, so you can use it together with a
notebook computer to make an extremely compact audio
mixing and recording system.
This document provides examples of basic operation of this
unit. For details, please download the Owner’s Manual from
the TEAC Global Site (http://teac-global.com/) and refer to it.
