A rugged and affordable interface with 32-bit float technology!
Manufacturer's description
Description:
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.
*Bus powered with PC, Mac and use external power when working with a lightning enable iOS device

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
