The rack-mountable Zoom TAC-8 audio interface is designed to act as the central hub in both professional and home environments. It provides 8 analog inputs and 10 analog outputs, 10 digital inputs and outputs (in both S/PDIF and ADAT Optical formats), and both Word Clock and MIDI I/O. Whether you want to record large scale multi-channel 24-bit/192 kHz sessions in your studio without worrying about latency or you want to bring your onstage performance to new heights, the TAC-8 allows you to take full advantage of today's latest technology.
Thunderbolt technology opens new doors for creators. More than twice as fast as USB 3.0 – not to mention twenty times faster than USB 2.0 and twelve times faster than Firewire 800 – Thunderbolt is the interconnect technology of the future. Co-developed by Apple and Intel Labs, it lets you send signals at an incredible 10 gigabits per second, so there's virtually no latency at all. Thunderbolt interfaces such as TAC-8 are also unaffected by computer jitter (slight variations in timing).
MixEfx is a free Macintosh application developed by Zoom specifically for the TAC-8. It is a complete mixer with independent level control, phase inversion and panning for each channel. MixEfx also lets you freely route all inputs to all outputs and create custom mixes for each pair of outputs. In addition, various reverb and echo effects can be added to each channel/output. Complete mixes can be stored in three different memory slots, allowing for instant full recovery.
