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.

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, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs 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 DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce 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 aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. 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 the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International 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.
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.
