Up to 32-bit float
Captures audio without needing to set input gain.

Independent shopping perspective
Zoom’s UAC-232 is a two-input USB interface built around 32-bit float recording, so recording and streaming workflows do not require setting input gain or constantly watching levels. The combo inputs accept mic or line sources, with phantom power for condenser microphones and a Hi-Z mode for direct guitar or bass. Mix Control handles routing, loopback, direct-monitor level and pan, with Music and Streaming modes for different destinations. MIDI I/O, main outputs and a headphone output complete a compact recording hub.
