Zoom UAC-232
The UAC-232 is an enthusiast-tier USB-C interface whose standout is 32-bit float capture — record without ever clipping an input. With two mic inputs, phantom power and loopback, it suits creators who want clip-proof recording and streaming flexibility. The 2x2 I/O is the constraint: high output-count studio routing needs an interface with more channels.
