| | Description | TASCAM has refreshed its best-selling USB interface with better audio specs and a fresh new look for the US-122mkII. The US-122mkII starts with two great-quality XLR microphone preamps with phantom power for condenser microphones. There's also a pair of balanced line inputs and a guitar-level in for direct recording of electric guitar or bass. The stereo signal is sent to your computer at up to 96kHz/24-bit audio quality.
The US-122mkII connects to Mac or Windows computers using USB 2.0, and the unit is powered over the USB cable. Zero-latency monitoring is available for recording without the delay going to a computer and back. MIDI input and output jacks allow connection of synths and drum machines. Connect the US-122mkII to monitors through the line output or use headphones with the front-mounted stereo 1/4" jack. The US-122mkII makes a perfect portable interface with metal components and solid construction built for the road.
The US-122mkII includes a copy of Cubase LE4 from Steinberg. This full-featured recording software captures up to 48 tracks of audio with another 64 MIDI tracks. You can edit your tracks to perfection using a variety of modes and tools. Automated mixing is included to create the perfect master. Cubase LE4 supports VST effect and instrument plug-ins, which an assortment included with the application.
Whether you're getting started with computer recording or adding a portable interface to your road rig, the TASCAM US-122mkII is the affordable choice for professional results. | |

 Wished it worked but... Jul 02, 2010
It doesn't... I have a brand new MAC and it doesn't recognize the device... I put it into many different usb ports and still not recognized. I installed the drivers first just like it says to do on the instructions which I read before doing anything, and it just plain doesn't work. Lights are on but nobody's home ya know?! Now I have to spend however long with Tech Support just to get it to do what it is supposed to do. Lame I wish I went with a differnt model that works like it is supposed to...
 Great product Jun 28, 2010
This is a great product! First I recieved it very quick and setup was a breeze! It came with cubase le and it is very easy to use! This is my first time recording and using the software and I must say, I'm very pleased! Not sure if this is top of the line but it does the job for me!
Nothing but trouble Apr 05, 2010
I had enough problems with this when I was using Windows XP, but it worked "well enough." (Problems with WMD not ASIO which is what I used for work). Should've returned it immideately. When I upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit, well then forget about it. Even though I have the Win 7 64 drivers, it won't work for longer than 20 minutes. Just stops making sound (though sometimes I get a strange bit crunching going on before it stops).
Tech support wasn't very helpful, and they won't RMA, and if I return for repair I have to pay for labor (I purchased over 90 days ago), even though I don't know what there is to fix and I don't think it is hardware issue at all.
Avoid this.
 This product works fine Mar 28, 2010
This product works fine. It certainly is a few steps up from my sound card. Together with my new Audio Technica M50 Studio Monitor Head Phones I am hearing much more detail in my music than ever before thus improving the productions in my home studio to a great extent. The Fact that it is USB powered is also a plus. I can use it with my laptop when I am out and on my PC when I am in. The phantom power makes it possible for me to use my condenser microphones. The guitar/mic line in provides convenience for me to plug in my guitar and start recording.
I am quite happy with this Tascam US122MKII USB Audio/Midi Interface. The reason I give it a 4 star instead on a 5 is because I had some initial trouble installing the drivers in windows xp professional but that could have been because it needed to settle after the rigors of postal travel (from the store to Miami and then to Trinidad and Tobago W.I.) It has since settled and works as it should now.

DON'T BUY IF YOU PLAN TO USE WITH SNOW LEOPARD Dec 01, 2009
In September, Tascam "officially" certified all of its audio interfaces for use in Snow Leopard, saying the devices were "fully functional" in the operating system. They lied. Neither the Tascam US-122l nor the Tascam US-122MKII is fully functional in Snow Leopard.
I bought the Tascam US-122l based on Tascam's "certification." I have a mid-2009 iMac (not the brand new version) and am running Snow Leopard. After receiving the interface I downloaded the most up-to-date drivers and firmware. However, the interface was not recognized as a in/out sound device in either Snow Leopard's "system preferences" or its "Audio MIDI Setup." I called Tascam customer support and talked to a very friendly and informative representative who basically told me that there was nothing that I could do about it, and that a driver might (eventually) be released that offers full support. I asked if the US-122MKII was fully functional in Snow Leopard (it had been released right after I bought the US-122l), and he said that on his computer it showed up in both system preferences and audio midi setup. Based on this information, I bought the US-122MKII, only to come across the same exact problem.
IMPORTANT: Both audio interfaces are fully functional in the audio programs I have (Ableton Live, GarageBand, Audacity). If all you want to use the interface for is audio in-out for such programs, you won't have any problems. However, if you want to be able to use the interface as your computer's main soundcard (ie:, to output all sound through the interface) you should not buy either interface for use in Snow Leopard. This ability is a big plus: for example, your iTunes music will likely sound much better coming through an audio interface than straight from your onboard sound card. Additionally, the ability to output all your sound through your interface means that you can keep your speaker cables connected to your interface at all times, without having to switch back to your computer after you've finished recording.
I don't know if there are any audio interfaces out there that are fully functional with Snow Leopard yet, but Tascam's are NOT and the company should not be claiming that they are.
***********UPDATE***************
Tascam has finally released a driver that makes the US-122mkii fully functional in Snow Leopard. The delay was frustrating, but now the interface is a great value for Mac users. I've changed my rating accordingly, but Tascam needs to be more honest about compatibility in the future if they want to maintain their customers' trust.
