Zoom UAC-8 USB 3 Audio Converter Overview

A GAK overview of the Zoom UAC-8 Audio Converter

The Zoom UAC-8 provides a number of digital and analog inputs which includes 8 front panel combo XLR/TRS inputs accept mic- and line-level signals with the ability to plug instruments into the first 2 slots. Dedicated controls make it easy to achieve optimum levels. In standalone mode, the UAC-8 can be used as a Preamp or a analog-digital or digital-analog audio converter. The USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfer protocol used by the UAC-8, with a speed of 2.0 ms roundtrip @ 96 kHz / 32 samples, is ten times faster than USB 2.0 and six times faster than FireWire 800.
