MiNiSTUDIO PERSONAL US-32
USB Audio Interface
This USB audio interface is designed for personal broadcasting with audio effects This advanced model allows the simultaneous use of two mics and has switchable modes that support personal broadcasting and production applications.
This model has been discontinued.
The new TASCAM MiNiSTUDIO series of audio interfaces for personal broadcasting has 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 TASCAM MiNiSTUDIO series of audio interfaces enable "audio performance" techniques that can make programs more interesting in order to grow your audience.
Broadcasters call pre-recorded clapping, cheering and other sounds "PON." The TASCAM MiNiSTUDIO series has a "PON" function that allows you to add such sounds simply by pressing buttons. In addition, voice effects and reverb allow you to alter the voices of moderators and guests. By changing voices with a single action, 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 TASCAM 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 also important. We designed a new user interface focused on ease-of-use during personal broadcasting. Through joint development with Dwango Co., Ltd., we zoomed in on what is necessary for personal broadcasting, and designed these units with as few controls as possible so that they can be used intuitively even by people who are not knowledgeable about audio equipment. The dedicated software also has an EASY page that anyone can use and an EXPERT page for advanced users.
With just the MiNiSTUDIO PERSONAL, which is the entry-level model, users 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.
The MiNiSTUDIO CREATOR, which is the more advanced model, also supports audio and video production. Changing the mode automatically changes signal routing. The loopback function is always on in BROADCAST mode, but it is turned off in CREATOR mode.
Sound is one key to increasing your audience.
Sound should suit the development of the program and voices should be easy to understand. This can be achieved with a single MiNiSTUDIO unit.

USB DELAY function to sync audio and video while broadcasting with video capture card
If you are using a webcam with video capture card for Internet broadcasting, there is a chance to cause audio and video out of sync in your live broadcasting. The USB DELAY function enables you to adjust the audio signal to sync to video. It creates an audio delay of up to 500ms (0.5 seconds) which can create an audio delay of up to 500ms (0.5 seconds). Please use this function when the audio signal is ahead of the video.* Can be used only at 44.1 / 48kHz audio recording format.
DIRECT MONITOR option mode allows you to choose a suitable monitoring method depending on your input sources (MiNiSTUDIO CREATOR only)
There are different ways to monitor depending on what type of sound source is recorded in music production. Direct Monitor setting enables you to select MONO for vocal monitoring, STEREO for keyboard monitoring and any type of instrument that comes with stereo inputs can be well-monitored with this versatile function. Furthermore, you are able to switch this setting to OFF when not recording.* The direct monitor is set to MONO and it cannot be switched when using MiNiSTUDIO PERSONAL or during CREATOR mode on MiNiSTUDIO CREATOR.

The signal routing of above setting is shown in the following chart. It separates the signals of the PON effect sound and your Music playback to different channel, and mix them together eventually to send out to the other end. You can have a relaxing time with friends online while the music is playing.
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 knowledgeable about audio equipment can use them without trouble.
- Built-in omnidirectional mic that can capture sound in every direction (MiNiSTUDIO PERSONAL only)
- Compatible with both headset mic and 4-pole earphone with mic
- Quick and easy operation using streamlined controls
- Input monitoring circuit and ON AIR key allow input sounds to be heard at all times
- Loopback function enables streaming of the computer output sound
- Lightweight design and strap attachments enable use for mobile broadcasting
Built-in omnidirectional mic that can capture sound in every direction (MiNiSTUDIO PERSONAL only)
The MiNiSTUDIO PERSONAL has a high fidelity omnidirectional condenser mic built-in. With it, you can start personal broadcasting without needing to prepare an external mic. Furthermore, since the omnidirectional mic can capture sound from every direction, it can be used not only for solo broadcasting but also for broadcasting with multiple guests.* Be aware that sounds from operating the unit, including the PON trigger pads, could be captured.
Compatible with both headset mic and 4-pole earphone with mic.
In addition to supporting professional external mic, it is also compatible with computer headset mics and 4-pole earphone with mic designed for smartphones. You can use equipment that you already have for personal broadcasting with these units. When using a 4-pole earphone with mic, connect it to the stereo earphone mini jack.Quick and easy operation using streamlined controls
Loopback function and AUX input jack are great for BGM playback
* If you do not need the computer output sound, mute the computer sound.
* When using MiNiSTUDIO CREATOR in BROADCAST mode, minimize the speaker volume to prevent signal feedback.
* The loopback function is automatically turned off when using MiNiSTUDIO CREATOR in CREATOR mode.

Lightweight design and strap attachments enable use for mobile broadcasting
The lightweight design of the MiNiSTUDIO units means you do not have to hesitate to take one with you. You can attach a commercially-available camera strap and use the unit hanging from your neck. The mic input jacks use locking mechanisms to avoid disconnection during movement.
Sound effect triggering (PON) function, voice effects and reverb enable many audio performance possibilities
Multiple audio sound effect functions that are not found in ordinary audio interfaces and sound cards are built-in. With the dedicated software, in addition to making detailed settings, you can also easily operate the unit with the controls assigned to the unit. You can apply effects in real time during a program.
- Play sound effects just by pressing the 3 PON trigger pads
- Voice effects with presets for speech and vocals
- Reverb effect that can be adjusted with dedicated knob
- Dedicated software has an EASY tab for basic settings and an EXPERT tab for advanced settings

High-quality audio circuits created with expertise gained from the development of professional equipment
We freely applied the audio circuit development techniques that we have gained in making professional broadcasting and music production equipment. We have realized high audio quality that is in a different class from that provided by computer input and output jacks and sound cards. Simply by using the MiNiSTUDIO series, you can enjoy personal broadcasting and audio production with high quality sound without needing to do anything else such as making particular settings.
