Zoom UAC-232 USB-C Audio Interface

Overview

The Zoom UAC-232 USB-C Audio Interface is a professional 2-input, 2-output audio interface designed for musicians, podcasters, streamers, journalists, and content creators who demand exceptional audio quality with a simplified workflow. As Zoom's first dedicated audio interface featuring 32-bit float recording, the UAC-232 uses dual AD converters and advanced 32-bit float technology to capture distortion-free recordings with an extremely wide dynamic range, eliminating the need to constantly adjust input gain.

Equipped with two premium F-Series microphone preamps, 192 kHz recording capability, MIDI connectivity, direct monitoring, and dedicated Music and Streaming routing modes, the UAC-232 delivers a flexible recording solution for studio production, livestreaming, podcasting, and field recording applications. Its compact, bus-powered design allows for easy transport while maintaining professional-level audio performance.

Core Features

• Captures audio at up to 32-bit float and 192 kHz for exceptional dynamic range and recording quality.
• Uses dual AD converters to minimize clipping and preserve detail across extremely quiet and loud sound sources.
• Features two low-noise F-Series microphone preamps derived from Zoom's professional field recorders.
• Provides two combo XLR/TRS inputs supporting microphone, line-level, and Hi-Z instrument sources.
• Includes dedicated Music and Streaming routing modes via the Mix Control software.

32-Bit Float Recording Technology

Unlike conventional audio interfaces that require careful gain adjustment, the UAC-232 utilizes dual AD converters and 32-bit float recording technology to capture audio with extraordinary headroom and dynamic range. This enables creators to focus on performance and content production without worrying about clipped peaks or unexpectedly low recording levels.

Professional F-Series Preamps

The interface incorporates the same low-noise preamp design found in Zoom's acclaimed F-Series field recorders. These high-quality preamps deliver detailed, transparent recordings for vocals, instruments, podcasts, interviews, and live performances while supporting microphone, line-level, and Hi-Z instrument sources.

Music and Streaming Workflows

Using the included Mix Control software, users can switch between dedicated Music and Streaming modes. Music Mode routes inputs independently for multitrack recording into compatible DAWs, while Streaming Mode combines inputs into a single output for simplified livestreaming through platforms such as OBS, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch.

MIDI and Advanced Monitoring

Integrated 5-pin MIDI input and output ports allow direct connection of synthesizers, drum machines, keyboards, and other MIDI hardware. Direct monitoring and loopback functionality further enhance recording and streaming workflows by providing latency-free monitoring and flexible audio routing options.
