MOTU UltraLite MK3 Hybrid Audio Interface. Portable 10-in/14-out Firewire / USB

  
MOTU UltraLite MK3 Hybrid Audio Interface for Mac & PC. Firewire bus powered for portable use or DC PSU powered for studio & theatre. The Ultralite-mk3 Hybrid is MOTU's most compact and versatile audio interface, featuring hybrid FireWire/USB2 connectivity to your Mac or Windows computer, on-board mixing and effects, superb sound and reliable performance. Hybrid FireWire/USB2 connectivity connect to your computer via either bus-powered FireWire or hi-speed USB2. 10 inputs / 14 outputs there's no channel sharing in the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid; the mic inputs, S/PDIF I/O, headphone out and main outs are all handled as separate channels.

Classic Reverb provides five different room types, three frequency shelves with adjustable crossover points, shelf filtering and reverb lengths up to 60 seconds. Two forms of compression a standard compressor with conventional threshold/ratio/attack/release/gain controls and the Leveler, an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A optical compressor, which provides vintage, musical automatic gain control.

Modeled EQ provides 7-band parametric EQ modeled after British analog console EQs, featuring 4 filter styles (gain/Q profiles) to effectively cover a wide range of audio material. LP and HP filters are also supplied with slopes that range from 6 to 36 dB. CueMix FX cross-platform mixing software attractive graphic mixing, graphic editing of parametric EQ and a convenient tabbed interface for quick access to all features in one window. Also provides full-screen real-time FFT display, spectrogram "waterfall" display, oscilloscope, X-Y plot and linear or polar phase analysis.

Front-panel control access any setting in your entire UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid mix directly from the front panel. "Reverb return" stream allows users to record or mix UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid reverb output separately in their DAW. Effects can also be applied when the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid is operating stand-alone (without a computer) as a complete stand-alone mixer.

Stand-alone operation program your mixes at the studio and then bring the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid to your gig no computer needed. Just plug in the included power adapter and you are ready to go. Need to tweak the mix? Do it on site using the back-lit LCD and front-panel controls. Multiple CueMix FX mixes for example, create different monitor mixes for the main outs and headphones.

Or add send/return loops for outboard gear with no latency. Two combo jacks provide hi-Z 1/4 guitar input or low-Z XLR mic input with phantom power, pad and plenty of gain. Eight 24-bit 192kHz analog inputs and outputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4 TRS jacks.

Precision Digital Trim Digitally controlled analog trim on all analog inputs (mic/guitar inputs + quarter-inch TRS inputs) provides accurate adjustements in 1 dB increments. Fine-tune the balance of your analog inputs and then save/recall trim configurations. Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) a DSP-driven phase lock engine and internal clock source that produces imperceptibly low jitter characteristics (below the noise floor), even when the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid is resolved to an external clock source via SMPTE time code.

Time code support directly resolves to (or generates) time code via any quarter-inch input or output, without the need for an extra synchronizer. 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. Expandable add additional interfaces for more I/O as your needs grow. Separate TRS main outs with front panel volume control. Stereo 24-bit 96kHz S/PDIF in/out.

DC-coupled TRS outputs can be used with Volta. Includes native 32- and 64-bit drivers for Mac OS X and Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP, including ASIO, WDM, Wave, Core Audio, and Core MIDI. Supports all popular Mac and Windows audio software.
