16-channel, 8-preamp 24-bit/96kHz FireWire Audio Interface Need eight preamps and the ability to mix and match them with any digital interface or recording system out there - at 96kHz? You've got it with MOTU's new 8pre, a 16-channel FireWire interface with eight, count 'em, eight mic/line preamps in one rackspace with phantom power, 20dB pad switch, and front-panel trim knob for each input. For that universality we talked about, the 8pre also features two banks of ADAT optical ports, which gives you an additional eight channels at up to 96kHz. While eight is enough for television families, it's never enough for audio engineers, which is why MOTU designed the 8pre to be expandable. Two FireWire ports allow for daisy chaining. The 8pre also offers two main outs with a separate volume control for monitoring purposes, MIDI I/O, AudioDesk recording software, and of course, MOTU's great sound! MOTU 8pre Features: FireWire audio interface for Mac/PC, also functions as 8 Pre to lightpipe converter 16 inputs and 12 outputs 8 mic/line/instrument inputs Individual 48V phantom, 20 dB pad Individual front panel trim knobs per mic input (45 dB) 8-channel analog-to-optical converter On-board 6x8 CueMix DSP mixing Five-segment metering for mic inputs Sample-accurate MIDI On-board SMPTE sync One rack space Clock status and Mode LEDs Volume control for phones and main outs Main outs w/front panel volume knob 8 channels of optical I/O up to 96 kHz 2 FireWire ports for daisy chaining Add eight great-sounding MOTU mic pres to any interface or computer DAW! The MOTU 8pre is destined to be another Sweetwater classic! Customer Reviews  Excellent solution for portable audio   by Ryan Harrell from Chattanooga TN, March 17, 2008 Music Background:  Recording Engineer, Radio Productions Manager “I work at a 100K watt radio station in Chattanooga, and we recently purchased one of these units. We had two M-Audio Delta 1010's burn out on us within a few months of each other and decided to ditch them in favor of something a bit more expensive and higher quality. I did a lot of research and have found MOTU to be the utmost quality in both price and performance.
