MOTU 8D Audio Interface

Description

The 8D connects to your computer, iOS device or audio network through USB2 or
AVB Ethernet to provide eight channels of professional, industry standard digital
audio I/O at sample rates up to 96 kHz, including four channels of S/PDIF, four
channels of AES3 (AES/EBU) and stereo headphone output.
Housed in a compact, aluminum alloy enclosure you can take anywhere, the 8D is
equally well-suited for studio, stage or industrial applications, with or without a
computer. As an interface, router, converter or stand-alone mixer, the 8D provides
eight separate digital audio input and output channels, 32 channels of audio
networking, 64 channels of USB audio I/O and stereo headphone output for a total
of 210 simultaneous I/O channels.
Connect your digital audio gear and then record, monitor, route, process and
convert all of these live inputs using built-in sample rate conversion and the onboard
48-channel large console-style mixer, with no latency and no processor strain
on your computer. Apply hardware DSP-driven effects processing to inputs, outputs
and busses, independent of your host computer. Add Classic Reverb with lengths
up to 60 seconds. Further sculpt your sound with 4-band parametric EQ, modeled
vintage compression, and gating.
After recording and mixing in the studio, unplug the 8D from the computer and take
it on the road for operation as a stand-alone mixer with effects. Connect an Apple
Airport or other Wi-Fi router with a standard Ethernet cable and control
everything from your smartphone and tablet or both at the same time.
Through AVB Ethernet, connect another MOTU AVB interface for more I/O or
connect to an expanded MOTU AVB network with multiple interfaces and
computers.
Control everything from your favorite web browser running on your laptop, tablet
and smartphone connected wirelessly or locally to the audio network.
From studio to stage, the 8D delivers state-of-the-art operation and rock-solid
performance.
