Audio Interfaces

The UAC-8 Zoom is a USB 3.0 audio interface with 18 inputs / 20 outputs, 8 XLR / TRS mic / line inputs combined, ADAT and S / PDIF digital I / O, MIDI I / O and effects. Connect a microphone, instrument, or device to your UAC8 to bring your ideas to life, or use it on stage for 24-bit / 192kHz audio quality. An Autonomous Mode allows the use of the UAC-8 as an 8-channel mic preamp and A / D or D / A converter, without connecting to a computer.
