For ample connectivity and fast, low-latency performance, Sweetwater can highly recommend the Zoom UAC-8.
Zoom UAC-8 USB 3.0 Audio Interface at a Glance:The Zoom UAC-8 USB 3.0 interface is simple to use, and Sweetwater has been impressed by the sound quality. A set of XLR/TRS combo jacks in the front lets you hook up mics, instruments, or line signals in seconds. The UAC-8 uses high-end Burr Brown converters to capture top-notch audio. A full set of TRS jacks in the back let you hook up your powered monitors and studio processors, and you've got ADAT and S/PDIF digital I/O for expanding your rig.
High-end processing delivers better soundThe UAC-8 not only records at the highest standard sample rates, but it also performs four times upsampling of your signal during the analog-to-digital and the digital-to-analog conversion. So, when the sampling rate is set to 44.1kHz, the UAC-8 is processing the signal at 176.4kHz, which helps minimize aliasing noise and increases clarity. In other words, your audio will sound amazing.
MixEfx software mixer makes signal management easyAll parameters of the Zoom UAC-8 are controllable via the MixEfx software application, making it easy to manage your session right from your computer. You can add effects like reverb or echo to offer vocalists a better monitoring experience. You'll also be able to enable a loopback mode that lets you blend the input signals with playback from a computer source, especially useful for live internet streaming.
