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. The AMS-24 and AMS-44 models feature a novel Music / Streaming switch. When switched to ‘Music’ mode, the user can record into a DAW with expanded input and output routing options. When switched to ‘Streaming’ mode all inputs are combined into a single signal that can easily be streamed without needing additional software.

AMS-22
(2 In – 2 Out)

This model is great for mobile recording or streaming, the AMS-22 includes an XLR/TRS combo input, plus a stereo line in. It also includes a headphone output and 2 TRS outputs for external monitors. With onboard hardware switches, the AMS-22 is designed to simplify common streaming challenges without the need for additional software. 

AMS-24
(2 In – 4 Out)

The AMS-24 is intended for solo streams and multi-instrument sessions. It features two XLR/TRS combo inputs along with Zoom’s low-noise preamps. Also included are two headphone outputs and two TRS outputs for external monitors.

AMS-44
(4 In – 4 Out)

Whether recording or streaming, the AMS-44 keeps the 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.

With their onboard hardware switches, both the AMS-24 and AMS-44 are designed to simplify common streaming challenges without the need for additional software. Toggle from recording to live streaming 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. 

On all three AMS interfaces the ‘Direct Monitor’ switch can be used to directly send the input signal to a pair of headphones while routing the same signal to a DAW or streaming software. The ‘Loopback’ switch combines the input audio with playback from your computer and routes it to your streaming software. This is ideal for adding background music to streams or  when singing live with an instrumental track.

They are all able to be powered from your PC or Mac via USB-C. When working from a tablet or mobile phone use external power. Additionally, the AMS-24 and AMS-44 can also use two AA batteries. Use the AMS series on any device thanks to its support for Mac and PC, along with iOS and Android devices. 

The range 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 Garage Band.
