Great review. I actually prefer their plastic material choice. It makes it very light to throw it in my backpack with my iPad. Audient iD24 or Motu will be heavy. The closest one to compare it is Audient EVO4 or IK Multimedia iRig Pro Duo which are also very popular.
The USB C port on my plastic evo 4 disconnects if I touch the cord, so I try not to touch the cord. I'm leery about buying another plastic audio interface. Where I live, the price of the Zoom UAC-232 and the Steinberg IXO22 are about the same price. Any thoughts? And thanks for the review.
The Zoom uac 232 was disppointing for me because when Zoom annouced it the prototype case was slightly different. The prototype was beautiful and the actual looks ugly as f$@#!...the only thing estheticaly lovely are the blue lights. I think Zoom instead of spending materials in the 8 wheels and in those 4 metal cylinders on the corners; they should have spend it more on a metal casing wich is more practical. And the fact that they use usb as a power supply is a downside. They could had sold the UAC 232 a few bucks more eventhough they will had sold and will sold more. Nice they have premium preamps. I am waiting for the Zoom uac 832... let see if it comes out roughed like advertised.
Excellent review with good, informed perspective a number of points, including competition, features, quality, usability, pricing, and more.
