Zoom UAC-2 is a bus-powered interface with two 24-bit/192 kHz high-resolution audio channels, compatible with Windows or Mac computers equipped with USB 2.0 or 3.0, as well as your iPhone/iPad.*

It uses USB 3.0 SuperSpeed technology for low latency and includes advanced features such as 4x upsampling, Loopback, and MIDI I/O. Connect any microphone, line-level device, or instrument and use the UAC-2 to perform on stage, record in a DAW, or enjoy high-resolution audio at home or in the office. You can also use it for quick, low-latency internet streaming, podcasting, gaming, and other live streaming applications.

It features a Loopback function that combines input from connected microphones, instruments, and line-level devices with background music or other audio tracks playing on your computer, then instantly routes a custom mix of the signals to your favorite streaming software.

The UAC-2 is an incredibly versatile interface. It works with everything from older USB 2.0 laptops and desktop computers to the latest Mac or Windows computers equipped with USB 3.0. Or plug in an AC adapter and an Apple camera connection kit or a Lightning to USB camera adapter (sold separately) and use it with your iPhone/iPad.

The UAC-2 MIDI input and output connectors ensure solid synchronization between your computer and devices such as electronic keyboards, controllers, drum machines, and synthesizer or sampler modules.

The USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfer protocol supported by the UAC-2 is ten times faster than USB 2.0 and six times faster than FireWire 800. The result? Low latency (2.2 ms round-trip at 96 kHz / 32 samples) to improve DAW software performance, and a stable data flow that is not affected by computer fluctuations (slight timing variations), so there is no need to connect an external master clock source. In addition, the extra bus voltage provided by USB 3.0 (900 mA, instead of the 500 mA provided by USB 2.0) allows the use of high-end electronic components such as the UAC-2's advanced preamplifiers and converters.

* An optional power adapter and an Apple camera connection kit or a Lightning to USB camera adapter are required.
