MOTU 4Pre hybrid audio interface USB & Firewire, Great quality (Kyma compatible)

  
MOTU 4Pre hybrid audio interface USB & Firewire. It's a "hybrid" interface meaning it can use USB but also firewire. So it has the additional benefit of being compatible with Symbolic Sound's Kyma system which requires a firewire interface.

I like MOTU interfaces, they're well made, robust and sound good. It's outputs (like many MOTU's) are DC-Coupled which means you can use it to control modular gear. It's in great condition. It's got a few light scratches on the base (see photos) but otherwise great. It comes with the half-rack coupling / mounting kit so you can couple it with another half rack module and mount it in a 19 rack.

Four mic inputs with individual preamps, 48v Phantom Power and 20dB pads. Two Headphone outputs (one mirroring Main Out 1-2, one independant). FireWire 400 and USB2.0 computer connections; the 4pre uses a "Type B" FireWire port which is much less likely to suffer from users plugging in a cable the wrong way and blowing the FireWire chip. The unit can be bus-powered via FireWire.

Front panel control of input trim and mix level for the four analog input channels. Support for sample rates up to 96kHz. Compact size - Designed to go with you anywhere.

The 4pre is an impressively small 8.5 by 7 by 1.75 inches, which means that it slides easily into your backpack. It also sits nicely next to your laptop or desktop computer. Flexible combo-style inputs - Connect guitars, a keyboard, or other inputs. The four inputs are not just for mics: they are combo jacks that also accept a quarter-inch plug.

Inputs 1-2 take line-level signals, such as the output from a synth or keyboard. Inputs 3-4 are "hi-Z" DI inputs with proper impedance for plugging in your electric guitar directly, without an amp or cabinet, to process your guitar sound through amp and cab simulation plug-ins in your host software. Universal connectivity - Hybrid technology connects to any computer.

Thanks to MOTU's Hybrid interface technology, the 4pre connects to any Mac or PC via FireWire or high-speed USB 2.0. Connect your mic, guitar, keyboard, and digital input, and you are ready to make pro-quality recordings. Bus-powered FireWire - No power supply needed. The 4pre can draw power from its FireWire connection to the computer, so you can operate remotely on laptop battery power.

High-speed USB 2.0 - High bandwidth and low latency. The 4pre can record and play all channels simultaneously, and high-speed USB 2.0 provides plenty of bandwidth, even at 96 kHz. Mixing made simple - Hands-on mixing for studio and stage. Quickly balance the levels of mics, guitars, a keyboard, or other inputs right from the front panel.

Each input has its own volume control. Route inputs directly to any output pair, each with its own unique mix: main outs, line outs, S/PDIF out, and phones. Studio grade sound - Your mix will be ready for prime time.

The 4pre has been engineered with MOTU's renowned, award-winning audio interface technology, which delivers the pristine audio quality and rock-solid performance that MOTU interfaces are known for worldwide. You can always record and mix with confidence, knowing that decades of engineering experience are behind you, every step of the way. Solid metal chassis - MOTU interfaces are built to last. The 4pre aluminum alloy chassis is lightweight, yet incredibly sturdy and durable, and designed to withstand the rigors of the studio, stage, and tour bus. In a world awash with cheap plastic, the cool touch of the 4pre's metal exterior in your hands is a reassuring reminder that you are holding quality engineering and construction built to last.

Rack mounting brackets - Mount the 4pre in a rack with your other gear. The 4pre can be joined with another MOTU half-rack interface (MIDI or audio) and together they can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, or you can mount them on rack rails with other MOTU gear for convenient desktop operation.
