The Zoom U-24 audio interface is an exceptionally compact 2-in/4-out USB recording solution delivering professional 24-bit/96 kHz audio in a design that fits in the palm of your hand. It features the same high-performance, low-noise preamps (-119.5 dB EIN) found in the legendary Zoom H5 and H6 recorders, ensuring clean capture whether you are recording vocals, instruments or line-level sources, in the studio or on the move.
The Zoom U-24 is designed for maximum flexibility: it connects seamlessly to Mac, Windows and iPad over USB, and can operate standalone on two AA batteries for genuinely unrestricted recording. With 48V phantom power, Hi-Z input support, MIDI in and out, latency-free monitoring, and bundled software including Ableton Live 9 Lite and Pro Tools First with 21 AAX plug-ins, it is the ideal go-anywhere interface for contemporary music makers.
