Musicians who require a portable and adaptable audio interface will find the Zoom AMS-24 to be an excellent choice, thanks to its efficient and user-friendly features. This ultraportable device is designed for recording and streaming on Mac or Windows computers, as well as iOS and Android mobile devices. It includes two TRS/XLR inputs, two TRS outputs, two headphone jacks, a USB-C connector, and offers modes suitable for both streaming and recording tasks.
Connect your instruments or microphones to the two TRS/XLR inputs, and activate the 48V phantom power switch to supply power to condenser microphones. Input 1 is equipped with a Hi-Z switch specifically designed for guitarists. You can monitor audio through the two 3.5mm headphone jacks or link monitor speakers to the stereo TRS output. The AMS-24 is capable of 24-bit resolution recordings with sampling rates reaching up to 96 kHz. This interface draws power from your computer's bus, but it can also be powered by two AA batteries or an AC power adapter (sold separately) when used with a smartphone or tablet. The direct monitoring and loopback features facilitate straightforward recording of overdubs and the integration of music into your streams.
2 TRS/XLR Inputs, 2 TRS Outputs, and 2 Headphone Jacks
Perfect for mobile recording or streaming, the AMS-24 includes two XLR/TRS combo inputs. It also includes two 3.5mm headphone outputs and two TRS outputs for external monitors.
Switch Between Music and Streaming Modes
Utilize the AMS series with any device, ensuring smooth integration with widely used software, applications, and platforms, as it supports both Mac and PC systems, in addition to iOS and Android devices. In Streaming mode, all inputs are merged into a unified signal, allowing for straightforward streaming without the necessity of complex additional software. In Music mode, you have the capability to record into your DAW with enhanced input and output routing possibilities.
Quick Control
The AMS-24 features onboard hardware switches that aim to streamline typical streaming difficulties without requiring supplementary software. Its user-friendly knobs enable the adjustment of input gain and monitoring levels. Additionally, the Stereo switch facilitates the grouping of the two inputs.
Onboard Monitoring
Use the Direct Monitor switch to directly send the input signal to your headphones while routing the same signal to your DAW or streaming software.
Loopback
The Loopback Switch combines the input audio with playback from your computer and routes it to your streaming software. This is perfect for adding background music to your stream or singing live with an instrumental track.
