Motu 8pre 8 Microphone Preamp Interface 8pre Firewire Audio Interface

  
MOTU 8PRE 8 MICROPHONE PREAMPS INTERFACE 8PRE FIREWIRE AUDIO INTERFACE. The 8pre is the perfect way to instantly add eight more mic inputs to any audio interface or digital mixer with optical I/O.

If you have a MOTU interface with on-board CueMix DSP mixing, such as the 828mkII, 896HD or Traveler, the 8pre inputs appear directly in the host interface's CueMix mixer to becomes a transparent extension of your system, operating together with your primary interface as a single, integrated unit even when the host interface is not connected to a computer and is instead operating as a stand-alone mixer. If you have a 2408mk3, digital mixer or other audio device that supports 96kHz optical and also has two optical inputs, the 8pre connects to it via both optical ports to provide a full eight channels of analog to optical conversion at the 88.2 or 96kHz sample rates.

Eight XLR/TRS "combo jack" mic inputs - connect up to eight mics, or mix and match mics with guitars, synths, drum machines and other analog input signals. Flexible analog inputs - each provides a crystal-clear preamp (for both the XLR and TRS input), 24-bit 96 kHz converters, individually switchable 48-volt phantom power, 20 dB pad and front-panel trim controls. Mix and match condenser and dynamic microphones as your needs require. Eight channels of ADAT optical I/O - provides two sets of optical connectors to provide eight channels of optical digital I/O even at high samples rates (88.2 or 96 kHz). Operates as an optical expander - connect the 8pre to any ADAT optical compatible device another audio interface, a digital mixer, etc.

To add 8 additional mic inputs seamlessly integrated into the mixing environment of the host device. Discrete ins/outs - there's no channel sharing in the 8pre; the mic inputs, ADAT optical I/O, headphone out and main outs are all handled as separate channels. Multiple CueMix DSP mixes - create different monitor mixes for the main outs and headphones. Add send/return loops for outboard gear with no latency.

Front-panel metering - five-segement meters for all analog inputs, plus status lights for clock and interface/expander mode. Sample-accurate MIDI - connect a MIDI controller and/or sound module with no separate interface needed. MIDI I/O is sample-accurate with supporting software. Separate TRS main outs and front-panel headphone jack, each with independent volume control.
