DISC MOTU 624 Thunderbolt/USB3 Audio Interface

Full Description

The finest sound

MOTU interfaces are renowned for their high-fidelity sound and great, all-round performance. The 624 lives up to this legend, whilst still being compact enough to be easily transported and stored when not in use. Thanks to its incredible 123dB dynamic range, the 624 is able to hold its own against some of the finest recording interfaces available on the market. The inclusion of optimised drivers guarantee a mere round-trip latency of 1.6ms when recording at 96kHz via Thunderbolt.

Industry standard components

The wide range of connectivity that the 624 provides makes the interface suitable to take on any task thrown at you. Utilise the on-board hi-Z inputs for optimised line-level recordings. Guitar, bass, synths, keys. You name it. Thanks to their optimised design, these inputs excel on it. Your direct recordings have never sounded so good. Take advantage of the line outputs to easily re-amp these signals.

From drums to strings, and pianos to vocals. It's hard to make bad recordings when you've got MOTU preamps in your set-up. These studio-grade preamps guarantee crystal clear, transparent reproduction of virtually any instrument or voice. Their low-noise floor and extensive dynamic range makes every source sound wholly natural. So much so that upon later playback, you'll be forgiven for forgetting that you're not in the same room as the artist!

Polished sounds from the get-go

The MOTU 624 comes complete with its very own integrated digital mixer. Thanks to its large-console format consisting of 48 channels, seven stereo buses and 32-bit effects processing, you'll feel right at home and will be able to achieve polished results before you've even pressed record.

Incredibly versatile, the on-board classic reverb is capable of producing decay times of up to 60 seconds. Whether you're emulating the the vibe of small drum rooms, or the feeling of falling into oblivion, it'll feel like anything is possible with this reverb in your set-up.

Sculpt your sound using the four band parametric equaliser. Inspired by the iconic range of British consoles that were used when making classic albums for the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Queen and Sting. This EQ offers unparalleled surgical precision when it comes to tonal shaping.

Tame your dynamics with the fat, warm sound of optical compression. Modelled on the iconic LA-2A compressor, you'll be taken right back to the golden age of recording. This compressor is perfect on acoustic instruments, kick drums, basses, electric guitars and vocals.

Go wireless

To make the most of your 624 connect it directly to a wireless router (not provided). This allows you to use your laptop, phone or tablet to manipulate the internal mixer and on-board processing. There's no need for installation drivers either, it's web based! This means you can use your preferred browser on any device as long as you're operating on the same network.
