Zoom UAC-8 – 18-in / 20-out USB 3.0 Audio Converter
THE ZOOM UAC-8USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Audio Converter for Mac and PC
There’s a whole new world of possibilities for Mac and PC Creators — high-speed, high-resolution, and low-latency. Upgrade your rig with the rackmountable UAC-8, and add 18 inputs and 20 outputs to your USB 3.0-equipped Mac or Windows computer—even your iPad.* Plug in a microphone, line-level device, or instrument and start bringing your ideas to life, or take the UAC-8 onstage to enable high-res audio playback, all the way up to 24-bit/192k.
* Apple Camera Connection kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter required
The USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfer protocol used by the UAC-8, with a speed of 2.0 ms roundtrip @ 96kHz / 32 samples, is ten times faster than USB 2.0 and six times faster than FireWire 800. That not only ensures low latency, it provides a data stream that’s unaffected by computer jitter (slight variations in timing), so there’s no need to connect an external master clock source.
