Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM
Audio Converter.
The has the following features.
18-in/20-out Thunderbolt™ audio converter
The audio converter uses Thunderbolt™, the latest
generation of high-speed interface technology. With this, we have
realized a system with low latency that was not possible using USB
2.0. Since it supports recording and playback at up to 24-bit/192kHz,
it can also be used to play back high-resolution sound sources and
deliver them with superior audio quality over the Internet.
Attention to audio performance
An asynchronous transfer system that is not impacted by computer
jitter is used. The latest AD/DA converter, which supports 192 kHz, is
used. So, the entire system reproduces the original audio faithfully.
