Frequently Asked Questions
Latency is generally very low, typical of Tascam’s audio interface design, but will depend on your computer's processing power and buffer settings.
While versatile, the DSP is best suited for subtle processing and routing adjustments; it's not a dedicated effects unit.
No, it lacks native Dante support, but the Ethernet control allows for integration with other networked devices through custom programming and protocols.
