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.
