ZOOM audio interface AMS-22

The AMS (AUDIO I/F for MUSIC & STREAMING) series is a lightweight and compact device designed for musicians and creators who record music with a DAW or live stream it on SNS such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitch. Audio interface with USB-C connection. Compatible with various Windows/Mac/iOS/Android devices, you can easily enjoy recording and live streaming anytime, anywhere with up to 24-bit/96kHz sound quality.

The AMS-22, which is ideal for mobile recording and streaming, is equipped with an XLR/TRS combo input and a stereo mini LINE IN terminal that can be used to connect a music player, etc. for recording/distribution. It also has stereo L/R TRS phone outputs and a stereo mini headphone output.

For music production purposes, it is equipped with a MIC/GUITAR terminal that allows you to directly connect a microphone or guitar, allowing you to record guitars and vocals using a DAW application. By turning on the DIRECT MONITOR switch, you can monitor the audio being recorded without delay. It is also possible to supply phantom power to condenser microphones with the 48V switch. For live streaming applications, it is possible to mix the mono audio from the microphone input connected to the MIC/GUITAR terminal with the stereo audio from the music player connected to LINE IN and distribute it as BGM. Since the microphone input is always treated as monaural audio, you will not suffer from the distribution problem that often occurs with general audio interfaces, where the microphone sound can only be heard from one side. By turning on the LOOPBACK switch on the side of the main unit, you can also stream the sound source played on your computer/tablet. In addition to playing it as background music for talk broadcasts, you can mix it with game audio and use it for live game commentary. For webinars and remote meetings, it can be used as a pocket-sized, ultra-compact audio interface that allows you to use a full-fledged microphone with an XLR connection, making it possible to deliver even higher quality sound.
