The U-44 is a compact, 4-in/4-out audio interface
that enables you to record and perform wherever you are. Small enough to fit in
the palm of your hand, the U-44 comes equipped with the features you need to
record 24-bit/96 kHz audio anywhere.
The U-44 offers the same
high-quality, low-noise mic preamps as our acclaimed H5 and H6 Handy Recorders,
plus compatibility with Zoom’s Interchangeable Input Capsules for incredible
possibilities. Use the U-44 with your PC, Mac, or iPhone/iPad via USB—or as a
standalone AD/DA converter and mic preamp. No other audio interface provides
this much versatility, value, and performance.
Wherever you want to
record, the bus-powered U-44 forms the perfect centerpiece of your mobile
studio. Connect instruments, monitors, and other devices when you’re recording
at home—or hook it up to your iPhone/iPad* to make music on the go. If bus power
isn’t available, the U-44 can run on just two AA batteries, allowing you to
record anywhere.
* Requires 2 AA batteries or optional AC adapter for
power, plus an Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit or Lightning-to-USB Camera
Adapter for connection to iPhone/iPad.
U-44 is compatible with all of
interchangeable input capsules (sold separately), representing a powerful field
recording setup. Choose from six capsules—X/Y, Shock Mount X/Y, Mid-Side,
Shotgun, Stereo Shotgun, and Dual XLR/TRS Combo Input—each with its own unique
applications. Record the audience during your live performance, or connect our
SSH-6 Stereo Shotgun for dialogue and sound design on your latest film project.
U-44 is equipped with high-performance, low-noise mic preamps that enable
recording and playback at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. You can also use U-44
as a studio-quality headphone amp and listen to your favorite music in full
fidelity.
The U-44 is small enough to carry in your jacket pocket or
backpack—without sacrificing features. Plus, all of the connectors and knobs are
strategically positioned for fast access. phantom power can be
supplied to both inputs, and input 1 supports Hi-Z for connecting guitars,
basses, or other passive instruments. MIDI input and output jacks allow you to
use devices like keyboards, controllers, synthesizers, and drum machines.
