ZOOM UAC-232 (32-bit Float Audio Interface)

ZOOM UAC-232 (32-bit Float Audio Interface)

After recently reporting on the RØDE NT1 5G microphone which has 32-bit float capabilities, I discovered the ZOOM UAC-232 which is a 32-bit float audio interface!

By the way, 32-bit float technology is just beginning to revolutionize audio recording. And here’s a nice video briefly explaining 32-bit float —> 32 Bit Floating Point Explained (by Sound Speeds)

Here are the features of the ZOOM UAC-232 interface:

  • Dual AD circuitry with 32-bit float recording technology
  • High-quality mic preamps, same as the Zoom F6
  • 2x XLR/TRS combo inputs
  • Headphone output and 2x TRS main outputs
  • High-power headphone outputs (100 mW)
  • Records up to 192 kHz sample rate
  • Compatible with Windows, Mac, and iOS devices (Android not supported)
  • Zoom Mix Control software mixer
  • MUSIC and STREAMING modes available via the software to optimize I/O
  • Loopback available via the software
  • Direct Monitor switch for latency-free recording
  • Vertical or horizontal use
  • MIDI IN/OUT for connection to external MIDI equipment
  • Bus-powered operation (separate power required for Lightenting-enabled iOS devices)

I haven’t tried it yet but it looks really nice.
