14. i ier IUE PN iri 23 Introduction Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM TAC 8 Thunderbolt Audio Converter The TAC 8 has the following features 18 in 20 out Thunderbolt audio converter The TAC 8 audio converter uses Thunderbolt the latest generation of high speed interface technology With this we have realized a system with low latency that was not possible using USB 2 0 Since it supports recording and playback at up to 24 bit 192kHz it can also be used to play back high resolution sound sources and deliver them with superior audio quality over the Internet Attention to audio performance An asynchronous transfer system that is not impacted by computer jitter is used The latest AD DA converter which supports 192 kHz is used So the entire system reproduces the original audio faithfully Built in high performance mic preamps The high performance mic preamps are based on those developed for our H Series Hi Z input is supported The gain can be raised by up to 60 dB and 48V phantom power can be supplied Flexible built in mixer and dedicated TAC 8 MixEfx mixer application The TAC 8 has a built in mixer that allows you to freely route up to 20 output channels from among the 18 input channels and 20 computer playback channels By using the TAC 8 MixEfx application designed for this interface you can make settings for the built in mixer and monitoring effects from a computer For details about TAC 8 M
