Zoom UAC-232

The ZOOM UAC-232 USB Audio Converter is the first dedicated 32-bit float audio interface, designed for musicians who demand more quality in their productions.

NO NEED TO SET GAIN
Whether you're recording in the studio or on stage, sound levels can fluctuate. The UAC-232’s 32-bit float technology captures clip-free, low-noise recordings without the need to set gain.

FINEST PREAMPS
Featuring the same clean, low-noise preamps used in the professional F-Series recorders, the UAC-232 guarantees high-quality recordings in any setting.

MORE CONTROL
The UAC-232 Mix Control software allows you to modify I/O routing, activate loopback, and control input and monitoring levels. You can also activate Music mode to route to your DAW or Streaming mode combining all inputs into a single signal for streaming software.

LOOPBACK
The Loopback function combines the input audio with playback from your computer and routes it to your software. Perfect for adding background music to your stream or singing live with an instrumental track.

LATENCY-FREE MONITORING
Use the Direct Monitor Switch to send the input signal directly to your headphones while routing the same signal to your DAW or streaming software. Mix Control allows you to adjust volume and pan for your direct monitor feed.

INPUTS
The UAC-232 USB Audio Converter features two XLR/TRS combo inputs for mic or line level input with +48V phantom power available for condenser microphones. Use the Guitar/Bass button to activate Hi-Z for recording guitar directly.

POWERFUL HEADPHONE OUTPUT
Monitor louder and clearer with the 100 milliwatt headphone output. Enough power to drive the most demanding headphones with no distortion.

MAIN OUTPUTS
To listen on studio monitors, the UAC-232 includes two TRS main outputs with volume control.

MIDI
The MIDI in/out allows you to connect to external MIDI gear such as drum machines, synths and keyboards.

COMPACT DESIGN
The UAC-232 Audio Converter can be placed anywhere. Set it up vertically, horizontally or even mount it to a mic stand with the included hook-and-loop straps.

COMPATIBILITY
Connect the UAC-232 via USB when recording and streaming on PC and Mac with software like Cubase, Pro Tools, OBS and more. Record and stream in 24-bit with iOS devices using Apps such as Garage Band, YouTube, and instagram.
