Zoom AMS-24

Description

The Essentials to Know About the AMS 24 Audio Interface

  • Dual MUSIC/STREAMING Mode: recording on separate tracks or hardware mixing ready for live use, hassle-free.
  • Ultra portable: USB-C bus-powered and also usable on batteries or mains power (optional adapter).
  • Creator-focused connectivity: 2 combo XLR/Jack Hi-Z inputs + stereo line input on mini-jack, ideal for adding an external source.
  • Monitoring and live content: direct zero-latency monitoring and loopback activatable, with two independent headphone outputs.

An AMS Interface Designed to Switch from Studio to Live in One Click

With the AMS series, the goal is clear: to offer a compact audio interface that adapts equally well to "classic" recording and modern uses (streaming, social content, live sessions). The AMS 24 fits this logic with a pocket-sized format, versatile connectivity, and above all, dual-mode operation. Instead of multiplying software settings, you select your context and the interface adjusts how sources are routed for an immediately usable result.

This "creator-first" approach emphasizes simplicity and mobility: the AMS 24 can follow a fixed setup on a computer, then switch to a smartphone for quick capture, live streaming, or shooting, all while maintaining 24-bit audio quality up to 96 kHz.

Who the AMS 24 Is For: Home Studio, Podcasting, Streaming, and Mobile Production

The AMS 24 is aimed at musicians and creators who want to record a voice and an instrument, a duo of microphones, or a guitar/bass live thanks to the Hi-Z inputs. It is also very relevant for podcasters and streamers seeking a clean sound with a ready-to-go mix, without relying on complex routing inside the computer.

Its flexible power supply is a real asset on the go: at the desk, a simple USB-C cable suffices; on the move, battery or mains options extend autonomy and secure a live session. The result: an audio interface for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, designed for today's hybrid setups.

MUSIC/STREAMING Modes, Zero-Latency Monitoring, and Loopback: The Creator's Arsenal

Two Modes for Two Workflows

The MUSIC/STREAMING selector is the heart of the experience. In MUSIC mode, the AMS 24 favors a separate track recording logic, ideal for production: you capture your sources and then mix them in your software. In STREAMING mode, the interface performs hardware mixing of the inputs to provide a signal directly usable for live applications, convenient for seamless transitions without additional configuration.

Zero-Latency Direct Monitoring Plus Loopback for Content

For comfortable recording, the AMS 24 offers zero-latency direct monitoring on its TRS outputs, activatable via a switch. You can listen to your take in real time without the delay effect that often disrupts vocals and instruments. The loopback (also activatable) facilitates integrating computer sound into your broadcast or captures, a key point for streams, tutorials, plugin demos, or commentary listening sessions.

Compact but Truly Usable Connectivity

With its 2 combo XLR/Jack inputs (including Hi-Z), the AMS 24 accepts microphones, instruments, or line sources alike. The 48 V phantom power allows use of condenser microphones. The stereo line input on a 3.5 mm mini-jack is ideal for adding an external player, camera return, mobile source, or a second device. Finally, the 2 headphone outputs simplify working with two people: interviews, duos, vocal coaching, or quick client approvals.
