Zoom UAC-232 USB-C Audio Interface

Perfect for content creators, podcasters, streamers, and musicians, the Zoom UAC-232 is a 2-in / 2-out USB-C audio interface featuring 32-bit float recording and professional-grade preamps, making it easy to capture pristine audio without worrying about gain levels. With dual AD converters and support for up to 192 kHz resolution, it delivers low-noise, distortion-free recordings even in unpredictable volume conditions. The UAC-232 eliminates the need for a gain knob, allowing you to focus entirely on your performance or content creation without the risk of clipping or dropouts.

With its compact design, the UAC-232 can be easily transported and placed anywhere. Set it up vertically, horizontally, or even mount it to a mic stand with the included hook-and-loop straps. The unit is bus-powered via your computer or requires an external USB-C power source (available separately) when operating with a Lightning-enabled iOS device.

Compatibility

Connect the UAC-232 via USB-C when recording and streaming in 32-bit float on a Windows/Mac computer running software like Cubase, Pro Tools, OBS, and more.

Record and stream in 24-bit with iOS devices using apps such as GarageBand, YouTube, and Instagram.

32-Bit Float: No Need to Set Gain

32-bit float is ideal for content creators and journalists who are recording out in the field, or for documentary filmmakers who are capturing unique events with unpredictable volume changes, and which they can only get once.

Zoom’s Finest Preamps

The UAC-232 is equipped with two, low-noise preamps, equivalent to the preamps found in the company’s professional F-Series recorders and known for delivering crisp and clean recordings no matter your mic or instrument.

The two XLR-1/4″ combo inputs (with switchable 48V phantom for condenser mics) can accept microphone-, instrument-, and line-level signals.

Activate Hi-Z for recording guitar directly to your computer.

Main Outputs with Volume Knob

Two 1/4″ balanced line outputs on the back and a volume control knob on the front panel enable you to listen to your audio on studio monitors.

Powerful Headphone Output

Monitor loud and clear with the 100mW headphone output and volume knob on the front panel.

The headphone amp delivers enough power to drive the most demanding headphones-with no distortion.

Mix Control Software with Music Mode and Streaming Mode

After plugging the UAC-232 to your Windows/Mac computer or iOS device, open up the Mix Control software (free download available separately) to complete your setup.

Select either Music or Streaming mode. Music Mode will route the inputs separately to your DAW for recording. Most DAWs are compatible with 32-bit float recording, including Pro-Tools, Ableton, Cubase, and more.

Switch to Streaming Mode and both inputs will be combined into a single signal to seamlessly route the audio for streaming on twitch, YouTube, or Facebook via software such as OBS.

Loopback Function

If you want to add audio from a web browser or music player to your stream or recording, you can activate Loopback to combine the input audio with playback from your computer and route it back to your DAW. 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 signals directly to your headphones, while routing the same signals to your DAW or streaming software.

Mix Control allows you to adjust volume and pan for your direct monitor feed.

5-Pin MIDI Interface

The 5-pin MIDI in/out enables you to connect to external MIDI gear such as drum machines, synths, and keyboards.
