On-the-go solo musicians looking for a compact audio interface will appreciate the streamlined and easy-to-use feature set on the Zoom AMS-22, an ultraportable solution for recording and streaming to a Mac/Windows computer or iOS/Android mobile device with a TRS/XLR input, two TRS outputs, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB-C connector.

Plug your guitar or microphone into the TRS/XLR input, and power condenser mics by engaging the 48V phantom power switch. Plug stereo music sources into the 3.5mm input jack and monitor via the 3.5mm headphone jack, or connect monitor speakers to the stereo TRS output. The AMS-22 supports 24-bit resolution recordings at a sampling rate up to 96 kHz. The interface operates on bus power from your computer, but can also be powered by an AC power adapter (available separately) if you're using it with a smartphone or tablet. Direct monitoring and loopback functions make overdubbing and adding music to your streams simple and easy.
