RECORD & STREAM WITH EASE
AMS Audio Interfaces are designed for musicians who want to record music with their DAW or easily livestream on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, without all the typical complications.
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.
MUSIC / STREAMING SWITCH
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.
DIRECT MONITOR SWITCH
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.
LOOPBACK SWITCH
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.
SWITCHES
MIC/LINE – GUITAR
Switch Input 1 from Mic or Line Level to Guitar Level (Hi-Z).
SWITCHES
STEREO LINK
Links two inputs for stereo recording or streaming, and allows you to control both inputs with one gain knob.
SWITCHES
PHANTOM POWER
Provides 48V phantom power for condenser microphones.
