Full Description

Outstanding Recording and Playback

Inspired by Zoom's H-series recorders, the U24 is equipped with the same high-performance, low-noise mic preamps (-119.5 dB EIN). These preamps provide the U24 with the ability to both record and playback at resolutions up to 24-bit/96kHz. Additionally, the U24 can also be used as a studio-quality headphone amp for listening to your favourite music in full fidelity.

All The Essential Inputs and Outputs

The U24 features all of the essential inputs and outputs required for streamlined, convenient recording. Two combo inputs with independent gain knobs and multi-colour level indicators allow you to connect microphones, keyboards, mixers and much more. 48V phantom power can be supplied toboth inputs, while input 1 supports Hi-Z for connecting guitars, basses and other passive instruments. The MIDI input and output jacks are suitable for connecting a vast range of devices including controllers, synths, drum machines and more. Seperate TRS and RCA output connectors provide multiple options for connecting DJ mixers, monitors and other equipment. Finally, the independent headphone output has a dedicated volume control for complete flexibility while monitoring your audio.

Your Mix, Your Way

Perfect for dialing in the perfect mix with zero latency, the U24 allows you to balance the cue and main output signals when you're DJ'ing, or create a mix of click track and main out signals during live performances. Each connector and control knob has been strategically positioned to ensure fast, convenient access with total ease.
