US-366
USB2.0 Audio Interface with DSP Mixer
The US-366 is an audio interface equipped with two high sound quality HDDA mic preamps under its rugged aluminum body, as well as DSP mixer that can be utilized in a variety of manners in order to match with the recording environment. Despite following the footsteps of the widely popular US series, it equipps with DSP mixer functions that support more sophisticated recording, supporting the 192kHz format – surpassing the 96kHz format.

FAQs
According to Apple, OS X 10.9.5 includes heightened security measures that will also be part of OS X 10.10. These security measures will affect some TASCAM audio interfaces, so users are advised to be aware, and hold off on updating until further information is available
These products use Apple's built in CoreAudio driver. The Settings Panel installer is fully compliant with Apple's latest security measures.
- US-2x2
- US-4x4
The latest drivers are compliant, but testing is ongoing for these products:
- US-322
- US-366
- US-1200
- UH-7000
The OS X 10.9 public beta drivers can continue to be used for these interfaces:
- US-122mkII
- US-144mkII
- US-200
- US-600
- US-1641
- US-1800
- US-2000
Cannot be used with the current driver (public or beta):
- IF-FW/DMmkII: Development is on-going and a version that is compliant with the new security measures will be made available as soon as possible. Please keep your system at 10.9.4 or earlier if you wish to continue to use the IF-FW/DMmkII.
- TASCAM Mixer Companion: Gatekeeper Security must be set to "allow all" for TMCompanion to be installed. It can be reverted to higher security settings after installation.
- Other audio interface products not mentioned are no longer supported.
In case that 24 bit is being selected at the setting of "Select the sample rate and bit depth to be used when running in shared mode" on Windows, PC is re-booted up when system sound on Windows is played.
