Audio Interfaces

Pocket-sized Mobile Recording Hero

Whether you're in the studio or out with your iPad, Zoom's U-44 Handy Audio Interface makes it easy to record and monitor up to four channels at a time. Microphones, line-level sources, guitars, you name it - the U-44 has the connections you need. What's more, you can connect Zoom Capsules to your U-44, adding microphones and additional preamps instantly. There's even digital S/PDIF and MIDI onboard. The preamps are the same ones found in the popular H6 Handy Recorder, and the 24-bit/96kHz digital converters are the clearest and cleanest ones Zoom has produced. Between its extensive I/O and mobile-ready design, the U-44 is an ideal on-the-go USB audio interface.

Pocket-sized recording interface that's ready to travel Few audio interfaces compare with Zoom's U-44 when it comes to sheer portability. With the U-44, USB bus power is only the beginning. For one thing, it can run on a pair of AA batteries when bus power isn't available, making it an excellent audio interface to keep with your iPad (Camera Connection Kit required). And since the U-44 is so compact, you can comfortably carry it in your jacket pocket and be ready to record whenever and wherever inspiration strikes. All the connections you need, plus Zoom Capsule input Despite its diminutive size, the U-44 certainly manages to pack in the I/O. A pair of TRL/XLR combo jacks serve as your main analog inputs, accommodating line-level sources and microphones - even supplying phantom power to condenser mics. What's more, there's a DI input so you can plug in your guitar. There's also coax and optical S/PDIF for digital sources and MIDI I/O for your keyboards. On top of that, you can hook up any of Zoom's Capsule modules to add extra inputs or a microphone right to your audio interface. Loaded with Zoom's top-quality preamps and conversion For years, Zoom has been a leader in the world of portable preamps and digital conversion, with products such as the H4N, F8, and H6 breaking new ground in affordable mobile recording quality. Onboard the U-44, you'll find the same ones from the H6 that our customers and field recording pros love, so you know you'll get clean and clear sound. Likewise, a set of 24-bit/96kHz onboard converters delivers reliable digital audio, making it easy to record studio-ready tracks out in the field.
