The iPad takes center stage
Taking full advantage of the multi-touch screen and the built-in accelerometer, iOS app developers are constantly creating revolutionary musical instruments that marry gesture and sound generation like never before. And with the TASCAM iXR, these instruments can finally explore their full potential. No longer does the iPad wielding soloist need to rely on mini-plugs and adapters; the iXR makes a direct digital connection via the lightning port and uses professional quality digital to analog converters and balanced output to deliver a clean, clear signal to the recording or live sound engineer.
A recording studio at your fingertips
Whether you're using a simple recording app like Garage Band, or working with a full-featured DAW, the TASCAM iXR can turn any location into a professional recording space. Sporting dual XLR 1/4" Combo jacks and TASCAM's unique HDDA microphone preamps, iXR allows you to easily connect any guitar, bass, keyboard or studio microphone with stellar results, which seamlessly combine with virtual instruments performed by your iPhone or iPad. Add in latency-free monitoring, a powerful headphone amp and balanced stereo outputs and you have a truly pro-quality recording rig that can easily fit into any messenger bag or backpack. And when you get home, iXR connects directly to your Mac or PC to deliver the quality and reliability that youve come to expect from a TASCAM audio interface.
It's all about your jam
Turn any room into a personal Karaoke club with the TASCAM iXR. With over 100 Karaoke apps and thousands of songs available, the iPad is the perfect sing-along band leader. And with iXR, you'll be up and crooning in moments. Plug in your microphones, connect your iPad and stereo output to your PA or speaker system and you are good to go. All that's left to do is to pick out your favourite song and get ready to start signing autographs.
Everything you need
The iXR includes a free license for Cubasis LE, a full-featured multitrack recording system for your iPad. Record vocals, play with software synthesizers, and mix with plug-in effects for a complete production all from your tablet. When you're ready to take your production to the next level, the iXR also includes Cubase LE for MacOS and Windows.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
