Audio interface for personal broadcasting
The Tascam MiNiSTUDIO audio interfaces have been developed to enable anyone to broadcast their
programs to the world. If you have been involved in personal broadcasting, there is one thing that you
have probably thought about in particular. You have probably wondered how you can gain more
audience members.
The MiNiSTUDIO series of audio
interfaces enable "audio performance"
techniques that can make programs
more interesting in order to grow your
audience. Professional broadcasters call
pre-recorded clapping, cheering and
other sounds with a press of a button.
With the PON function on
Personal
or
MiNiSTUDIO Creator
can also add such sounds simply by
pressing buttons. In addition, voice
effects and reverb allow you to alter the
voices of moderators and guests. This
way, you can raise the level of
excitement of a program.
Audio quality is another important aspect of audio performance. Providing your audience with sound
that is easy to follow is also a way to make them feel more welcome. The MiNiSTUDIO series has high-
quality audio circuits inherited from music creation devices, so you can capture clear sound just by
connecting a mic.
Since this is equipment that you will operate while broadcasting, ease-of-use is very important. We
designed a new user interface focused on ease-of-use during personal broadcasting – with as few
controls as possible so that they can be used intuitively even by people who are not knowledgeable
about audio equipment. In addition, the dedicated software has an EASY page that anyone can use and
an EXPERT page for advanced users.

With just the

you can easily enjoy high-quality personal broadcasting. Since this
model has a built-in condenser mic, no external mic needs to be
purchased. If you have wanted to try personal broadcasting, you will
be able to do so quickly with this.

  • Page 1 MiNiSTUDIO Creator US-42 Audio interface for personal broadcasting The Tascam MiNiSTUDIO audio interfaces have been developed to enable anyone to broadcast their programs to the world. If you have been involved in personal broadcasting, there is one thing that you have probably thought about in particular.

The loopback function, which allows you to stream music from your computer, is always on in BROADC AST mode, but it is turned off in C REATOR mode.
  • Page 3 User interface designed for personal broadcasting that anyone can easily operate Among the features of the MiNiSTUDIO series, the user interface is the biggest difference from audio interfaces design for music creation. We started from scratch and designed these units especially for personal broadcasting, carefully choosing the controls so that even people who are not familiar with audio equipment can use them without trouble.
  • Page 4 Compatible with both headset mic and 4-pole earphones with mic In addition to supporting professional external mic, a MiNiSTUDIO is also compatible with computer headset mics and 4-pole earphones with mic designed for smartphones.

  • Page 6 (Photo at right: Tascam devices are used for triggering sound effects at a broadcast station) Low-noise mic inputs that support condenser mics We applied our expertise gained from the development of professional audio and music creation equipment to the audio circuits, starting with the mic inputs.
  • Page 7 The MiNiSTUDIO C reator, which also supports audio creation, uses input circuits of even higher quality. Mic sound quality is dependent on the mic preamplifier. The HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic preamps use discrete construction that requires a higher number of components. This distances them from other preamps. We selected all the parts through listening evaluations to tune the sound quality.
