Japanese audio specialist Zoom released the new UAC-232, a portable 2×2 USB-C audio interface with 32-bit float recording. Gain controls are no longer necessary as you can capture clipping-free and low-noise recordings no matter how loud or quiet a performance gets. The Zoom UAC-232 is now available and retails for $199.99. Let’s take a closer look at the new sound device without gain controls. We know other 32-bit products from Zoom like the MicTrak M2, M3, M4, F3 Portable, or the even bigger F8n Pro 32-bit 8-Channel audio field recorder. Now Zoom is enlarging their product line with the Zoom UAC-232 Portable 2×2 USB-C Audio Interface: 32-bit float recording Let’s focus on why you would want to record in a 32-bit float: the technology is designed to capture distortion-free sound, regardless of its intensity. There is no need to adjust a gain controller when recording audio with a 32-bit float because even the loudest sounds will simply not clip. This explains why the Zoom UAC-232 audio interface doesn’t have a gain knob anymore. Unlike a traditional 24-bit audio recording, you can recover noise-free sounds that were recorded almost silently, or, very loudly. The people from Zoom summarized the key information about 32-bit float audio recording and the post-production process in this article, so please check it out if you want to know more.
