Full Description

Hybrid FireWire / USB2 connectivity

The MOTU 828 MK3 is a hybrid audio interface, with flexible connectivity to any Mac or PC via FireWire or high-speed USB 2.0. It boasts ten channels of pristine 192 kHz analog recording and playback. Furthermore, it has sixteen channels of ADAT digital I/O and stereo S/PDIF. You can even expand your system by connecting additional MOTU audio interfaces or the 8pre mic input expander.

Many I/O; Interface or Stand-Alone Mixer!

Whether for use in the studio or on stage, the MOTU 828 MK3 performs, with or without a computer. You can use as an interface or standalone mixer, with its 28 separate inputs and 30 separate outputs, including dedicated main outs on XLRs and two front panel headphone outs. When going standalone, all mixing and effects parameters are adjustable using the front panel backlit LCD.<

On-board digital mixer with effects for monitoring and live mixing

Connect all of your studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors. Record, monitor, route and process all of these live inputs using the professional on-board CueMix FX digital mixer - with no latency and no processor strain on your computer. You can apply hardware DSP-driven compression, EQ and reverb to every input and output, independent of your host computer. When recording from the mic/guitar inputs, the 828MK3's signal overload protection gives you an extra 12 dB of headroom above zero with no digital clipping or harsh artefacts.

Analyse your Audio!

Use the advanced diagnostic tools to analyse and scope your audio. There's the full-screen real-time FFT display, spectrogram "waterfall" display, full-featured oscilloscope, X-Y plot, and linear/polar phase analysis graphs.

Wide Compatibility

The 828MK3 provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac and Windows and many audio software and host-based effects via WDM/ASIO/Core Audio drivers. You can use the included AudioDesk workstation software for Mac, with 24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit mixing/processing/mastering.
