The Zoom TAC-8
THUNDERBOLT SuperSpeed Audio Midi Converter for Mac and PC
The rack-mountable 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/192k 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.
RECORDINGWith 8 analog inputs, 10 digital inputs, and the ability to record and play back 8 channels simultaneously, the TAC-8 allows you to record what you want, when you want. Lay down full backing tracks—drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, even vocals—at the same time, or go big with an 8-mic drum setup, or anything in-between. Thunderbolt's speed ensures you won’t have to deal with latency issues, and the TAC-8's built-in software mixer and flexible output options let you customize each session to your needs.ON STAGEWhether you're a one-man band with an epic onstage rig or your laptop is serving as the central hub for multiple musicians accessing software effects and virtual instruments, the TAC-8 allows you to fully customize your performance setup according to your needs. Simply connect it to your computer with a Thunderbolt cable and then connect the rear panel TRS outputs to your mixing board or PA system. Wherever you play, you can count on your TAC-8 to deliver the ultimate in high quality audio.THUNDERBOLT SPEED.REVOLUTIONARY RECORDING.Thunderbolt technology opens up 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 interconnection technology of the future. Co-developed by Apple and Intel Labs, it allows signal to be transferred at an incredibly fast 10 gigabits per second, which means virtually no latency. Thunderbolt interfaces such as the TAC-8 are also unaffected by computer jitter (slight variations in timing).ANALOG I/OThe TAC-8 provides a wide variety of both analog and digital connectors. Eight front panel combo XLR/TRS inputs accept mic- and line-level signals. Inputs 1 and 2 can also accept instrument-level signal from electric guitars and basses. Dedicated input gain controls and Clip LEDs make it easy to set optimum input levels, and a Phantom Power switch enables the use of condenser microphones.Dual balanced analog ¼" TRS output jacks allow you to connect the TAC-8 to amplifiers or self-powered speakers, and there are also 8 discrete balanced TRS analog line outputs for multichannel monitoring or connection to external effects devices. A large front-panel Output knob offers fast control over output level, and there are two independent ¼" stereo headphone jacks, each with its own dedicated volume control, for private monitoring.DIGITAL I/OThe TAC-8 provides 10 channels of digital inputs and outputs, including 8 channels of I/O on ADAT Optical connectors and an additional 2 channels on S/PDIF connectors. In addition, Word Clock I/O enables the TAC-8 to be easily integrated into any system.In addition, MIDI In and Out allow electronic keyboards, sequencers, and drum machines to be connected to the TAC-8, with Thunderbolt speed ensuring precise audio and MIDI sync.ADDITIONAL FEATURESIn standalone mode, the TAC-8 can be used as an 8-channel mic preamp and analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog converter without being connected to a computer. The TAC-8 performs 4-times upsampling during both analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. In other words, when the sampling frequency is set to 44.1kHz or 48kHz, the signal is processed at high resolution 176.4kHz or 192kHz, respectively. For A/D conversion, this means less aliasing noise; for D/A conversion, this means increased clarity and fidelity.EXTEND YOUR CAPABILITIES WITH ZOOM SOFTWARETAC-8 MixEfx is a free Macintosh application designed specially by Zoom for the TAC-8. It provides a comprehensive onscreen mixer, with independent level, phase reversal, and panning control for each channel.TAC-8 MixEfx also allows you to freely route all inputs to all outputs and to create custom mixes for each pair of outputs. In addition, a variety of reverb and echo effects can be added on a per-channel / per-output basis. Complete mixes can then be stored in three different memory slots, allowing instant total recall.Features at a glance18‐in/20‐out high speed Thunderbolt™ audio interfaceRecord and play back 8 tracks simultaneouslyStandalone mode allows use as an 8-channel mic preamp and A/D or D/A converter withoutconnection to a computerSupport for up to 24‐bit/192kHz high‐definition audioNear-zero latency audio streaming8 combo balanced XLR/TRS analog input connectors accept both mic and line‐level signalHigh‐performance mic preamps with up to +60dB of amplificationHi‐Z switches allow direct connection of electric guitar or bass (INPUT1, INPUT2)Independent gain controls and clip LEDs for each inputSwitchable +48V phantom power (INPUTS 1‐4, INPUTS 5‐8)10 balanced TRS output jacks for connection to mixers, amplifiers, self‐powered speakers,or effects devicesDual front-panel 1/4" headphone outputs with dedicated volume controlsLarge knob output volume control4x upsampling during A/D and D/A conversion for reduced noise and enhanced fidelityAsynchronous transfer system unaffected by computer jitterS/PDIF IN/OUT: 2IN / 2OUT, up to 24‐bit/192kHz audio resolutionADAT Optical IN/OUT: 2 IN / 2 OUT at 192/176.4kHz (S/MUX4 compatible), 4 IN/4 OUT at 96/88.2kHz(S/MUX compatible), 8 IN / 8 OUT at 48/44.1kHzWord Clock in/outClock source indicatorMIDI in/outRack-mountable (1U space)Robust metal housingWorks with all Thunderbolt‐equipped Macintosh computers running OS X 10.8.5 or laterSystem RequirementsSpecificationsANALOG INPUTS: INPUTS 1–8Connectors: XLR/TRS combo jacks(XLR: 2 hot, TRS: TIP hot)Input gain: 0–60 dB (1 dB steps)Input impedance: 5 kΩ1 MΩ (When IN1/IN2 Hi-Z on)Maximum input level: +13 dBu (XLR at 0 dBFS)+21 dBu (TRS at 0 dBFS)Phantom power: +48 VANALOG OUTPUTS: MASTER OUTPUTSL/R Connectors: TRS jacks (balanced)ANALOG OUTPUTS: LINE OUTPUTS 1-8Maximum output level: +14 dBu (at 0 dBFS)Output impedance: 150 ΩANALOG OUTPUTS: PHONES 1/2Connectors: Standard stereo phone jacks20 mW × 2 (into 32 Ω load)Maximum output level: +10 dBuOutput impedance: 33 ΩDIGITAL IN/OUT: ADAT OPTICALConnectors: ADAT Optical (lightpipe)8 IN/OUT: 44.1 kHz/48 kHz4 IN/OUT: 88.2kHz/96kHz, S/MUX compatible2 IN/OUT: 176.4kHz/192kHz, S/MUX4 compatibleDIGITAL IN/OUT: S/PDIFConnectors: RCA (coaxial)Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHzDIGITAL IN/OUT: WORD CLOCKConnectors: BNCSupported sampling frequencies: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHzOutput impedance: 75 ΩOTHERFrequency characteristics: 44.1 kHz: −1.0 dB, 20 Hz–20 kHz96 kHz: −1.0 dB, 20 Hz–40 kHz192 kHz: −1.0 dB, 20 Hz–60 kHzInput conversion noise: Measured EIN: 125 dB (IHF-A)at 60dB, 150Ω inputDynamic range: AD: 120 dB typical (IHF-A)DA: 120 dB typical (IHF-A)Sampling frequencies: 192 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHzBit depth: 24-bitInterface: Thunderbolt™MIDI IN/OUT: 5-pin DIN jacksPower supply: AD-19 DC12V 2A AC adapterExternal dimensions: 6.2 in.
