MOTU 8PRE USB - USB audio interface

FIREWIRE & HYBRID USB AUDIO INTERFACE. MOTU USB 2.0 8 PRE AUDIO INTERFACE. The 8-pre USB 2.0 audio interface offers everything you need to turn your computer into a powerful 24-bit, 96kHz DAW (digital audio workstation) at a price/performance ratio unmatched on the market. Eight microphone preamps with 48V phantom power deliver crystal-clear analog recording and digital conversion at frequencies up to 96kHz. The mic preamps are also combined with 8 ADAT optical channels of digital I/O. Easily expand your system by connecting additional 8-pre units to other MOTU interfaces such as the 828MkIII or 896HD to increase the number of inputs and outputs available on any system. You can use Cue Mix software to mix the 16 inputs from your computer and create up to four different mixes of the input signals, for example, to send them to musicians in the recording booth or to stage monitors. The eight ADAT channels make the 8pre the ideal companion for your digital mixer (with ADAT inputs), or you can use it to increase the total number of inputs to your DAW system. If you have a 2408 MkIII, you can connect the 8pre to its ADAT inputs to create eight additional microphone input channels, all at 96 kHz. In addition to all these possibilities, there is also a MIDI in/out port with the precision timing features that MOTU's MIDI interfaces are famous for. Excellent low-latency ASIO and CoreAudio drivers are also included. (Consult the manufacturer's website for up-to-date compatibility information.)
