MOTU 16A AVB - Hybrid Audio Interface

HYBRID AUDIO INTERFACE (VARIOUS SYSTEMS) The 16A Thunderbolt audio interface provides the industry's widest dynamic range and massive mixing capability in the style of a true 48-channel, 12-bus stereo mixer. With 16 analog inputs and 16 outputs on balanced TRS jacks on the rear panel plus an additional 16 channels of digital audio I / O in optical ADAT format, we have a total of 32 inputs and 32 outputs to use as an input/output expansion converter for another audio interface or as a flexible and capable standalone audio mixer and control absolutely everything from the innovative 16A web application that will run on our iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or smartphone, and also on any laptop. You only need to have a web browser and there is no need to download any application. The 16A is also compatible and can be connected via USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Featuring a powerful 32-bit floating-point mixing and effects DSP, it includes analog modeled EQ, simulated vintage gear compression, and classic reverb. It features extensive patch routing, allowing the unit to patch any input to any output or split inputs to multiple destinations. A second interface in the series can be connected via an Ethernet cable to add more inputs and outputs to the system. This can be done using the AVB Series switch (sold separately). This allows the 16A to build an entire audio network following the AVB standard, with multiple switches acting as network nodes and one or more interfaces connected to them in any combination, all with overall latency of a few milliseconds, even over very long cables in different rooms. Hundreds of input or output channels can be routed between all the devices and equipment connected to the network, keeping cabling and installation costs extremely low. From initial recording to final mastering, the 16A provides excellent sound quality, the world's highest configurability and controllability, and extremely reliable performance.
