MOTU 8Pre USB Audio Interface Overview
The heart of your studio. It doesn't get much better than the MOTU 8Pre USB Audio Interface. Thanks to the inclusion of eight studio-grade preamps you'll be able to capture detailed recordings of single instruments and basic full-band recordings with absolute ease. The 8Pre is designed to grow with you. As your career progresses and set-up expands, it's likely you'll need additional inputs. Make the most of the ADAT optical ports, these allow you to enhance your system with an additional eight preamps.
The key to achieving great recordings is the creation of perfect headphone mixes. However, we all know it's not that simple. You know the scenario, "I want more bass", "I want less drums", "I want more me", each individual requires something slightly different, this can turn into what feels like a balancing act. The 8Pre renders this a thing of the past thanks to CueMix DSP functionality. With this handy feature you'll be able to route audio however you see fit to create personal monitor and headphone mixes - all without latency. Impressive right?

View Full DescriptionThe finest preamps
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!
In sync
If you're impressed with the 8Pre's versatile connectivity and routing then you'll be in awe of the in-built SMPTE time code synchronization. This will be perfect for scorers and Foley artists, enabling them to sync their interface without the need of an additional synchroniser.
Remote access
If you're a self-recording artist, or involved in both production and performance then CueMix is essential. This gives you total control over your interface, without having to sit by your desk or interface 24/7. Powered by Wi-Fi, you'll be able to adjust levels, manipulate monitor effects, panning positions, starting locations and so much more whilst on the studio floor!
Optimised protection at all times
Just like every MOTU interface, the 8Pre comes complete with a durable, lightweight aluminum alloy chassis. This is perfect for enduring the vigors of live performance and continued use. Thanks to this premium exterior, your interface will look and sound as fresh as the day it left the factory!
