AMS-44 For One or More Musicians

AMS-44 | 4-In, 4-Out
Whether you’re recording or streaming, the AMS-44 keeps your setup simple. It features four XLR/TRS combo inputs along with Zoom’s high-performance, low-noise preamps. The interface also includes two headphone outputs and two TRS outputs for external monitors.

Quick Control
With their onboard hardware switches, the AMS-24 and AMS-44 are designed to simplify common streaming challenges without the need for additional software.

Little Switch, Big Streams
Toggle from recording to livestreaming with the Music / Streaming Switch. When in Music mode, each input acts independently with individual gain control. It also sends separate mixes to each headphone output.

When in Streaming mode all inputs are combined into one signal to work seamlessly with your streaming software.

Onboard Monitoring
Use the Direct Monitor Switch to send the input signal directly to your headphones while routing the same signal to your DAW or streaming software.

Loop It Back
The Loopback Switch combines the input audio with playback from your computer and routes it to your streaming software. This is perfect for adding background music to your stream or singing live with an instrumental track.

MIC / LINE GUITAR
Switch Input 1 from mic or line level to guitar level (Hi-Z).

STEREO LINK
Links two inputs for stereo recording or streaming and allows you to control both inputs with one gain knob.

PHANTOM POWER
Provides +48V phantom power for condenser microphones.

POWER OPTIONS
All three AMS interfaces can be powered from your PC or Mac via USB-C. Use external power when working from a tablet or mobile phone.
Additionally, the AMS-24 and AMS-44 can also use two AA batteries.

PLUG IT IN…
Use the AMS Series on any device thanks to its support for Mac and PC, along with iOS and Android devices.

… AND PERFORM
The AMS Series is designed to integrate seamlessly with commonly used software, apps and platforms.

In Streaming mode, connect with your audience by streaming to popular platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Instagram and Patreon.

In Music mode, record with software like Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, Cubase and GarageBand.
