Anyone Using the Zoom U-22?
Hi,
I am looking for a truly portable iPad interface for my instrument.
I have a 4th gen iPad Pro 12.9" running iOS version 16.5.1
Typically ..... I just have one instrument to run into the iPad, and then I use Loopy Pro as a multi-fx processor, and I must get the processed audio back out, which I will feed to a PA system.
I have an iRig HD X, but I can't get sound out from Loopy Pro. I can get sound out from the iPad from other apps like YouTube, stand alone synths (Animoog, etc.)...... after 8 hours of messing with it; I'm tired and I just want something that works out of the box.
IF..... you have /use the Zoom U-22.... do you notice any latency???
IF...... you have /use the Zoom U-22.... are there any quirks or frustrations?
IF...... you have /use the Zoom U-22.... is the output signal clear /strong?
.... why NO 1/4" out or XLR out? Am I missing something.... just an RCA out? Does Zoom realize those were big in the 80s; uh hello?
Arrrrgggh...... c'mon Zoom
Anything else - or other recommendations that are not an iRig.
Thanks
AJ

A lot of companies have released smaller interfaces, like Arturia and M-Audio etc. for a reasonable sum. I think Zoom did as well not too long ago ..*checking ... yeah AMS-22 it's called, quite good price on it too.
I had the U-24 years ago. It worked great, was easy to use, I never had a problem with latency, and it sounded good. I got rid of it because direct monitoring was mono only, I don't know if that's the case for the U-22? It was good quality for the money I think but if there has been something better released since then I wouldn't know.
Rode and Joyo also make very small interfaces.
One difference between u24/u44 and u22 is that the latter has very weak headphone preamp.
It may save your hearing in the long run so perhaps it should be viewed as a positive.
I am a big fan of the Joyo MoMix Pro. A tiny mixer that does so much.
I’ve had the u44 for a couple of months now and it’s working great for me. I have a dawless set-up with my mixer running through the additional inputs on the EXH-6 capsule I added. This leaves input 1 & 2 free to input synth and/or guitar signals for loopy pro hosted effects when I have my iPad hooked up.
I love how easy it is to go from dawless to dawed (if that’s a word?) by just plugging the USB into the iPad. That fully integrates the iPad into the midi and audio chains.
This is with hobbyist use - weekends, occasional evenings, etc but all good so far. I haven’t noticed any latency.
Is that an interface too? The product website is surprisingly unhelpful (on Safari). The one I was thinking of is even smaller: the Momix Cab.
@Vmusic
From a latency perspective, I can personally recommend Focusrite Solo 3rd gen or Audient EVO4 if there are small enough for you.
Here is a thread where we are posting our audio interface RTL measurements:
https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/58564/comparing-interface-latency/p1
The difference in the measurements between the Zoom and the Focusrite are quite small..probably indectectible to a player.. less than 2 ms for the roundtrip...which is less than the latency associated with being 2 feet farther from the sound source.
I have the zoom u 24. midi I/o was more important than high bit rate. The unit is really good. The only bad thing are the small knobs. In combo with the cables it looks a bit untidy. However, I can use them.
It is a small and cheap unit. I mostly like it.
I have 2x U-24 and 2x U-44, and they are all fantastic. Using them for live performances with a band and with a duo (I use the U-44 as a small mixer). No issues whatsoever!
I bought AMS-22 today at local store. My primary instrument is an electric guitar and I needed something as small as possible. Main concern was latency and sound through the Hi-Z input. Latency is OK and the sound on headphones is comparable to the Focusrite 2i2 3rd generation, which I also have. Plugged power bank doesn't increase any hum/noise. To sum up - full satisfaction.
