Tripping the UltraLite Fantastic! The MOTU UltraLite is a half-rackspace, bus-powered FireWire audio interface that turns a laptop or desktop Power Mac, Intel Mac or PC into a mobile 24-bit/96kHz recording studio with 10 inputs and 14 outputs. With a compact, half-rack form factor, the UltraLite delivers the same innovative design, proven reliability and award-winning sound as MOTU's other high-end FireWire audio interfaces. By packaging a pristine 24-bit/96kHz audio interface into a package roughly the size of an average hardback book, MOTU's got a winner in the UltraLite! MOTU UltraLite FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface at a Glance: Rugged mobile interface with two mic preamps Eight analog ins and 10 TRS outs Built-in 8-bus mixer allows versatile monitoring options Easy configuration with CueMix Console Bus-powered and expandable via FireWire Syncs to SMPTE time code Works with Macs (including Intel Macs) and PCs Rugged mobile interface with two mic preamps Housed in sturdy yet lightweight aluminum alloy, the UltraLite provides two mic/instrument inputs with preamps, 48-volt phantom power, unique 3-way pad switch (-36, -18 and 0dB) and front-panel Digital Precision Trim knobs that provide 24dB of gain in 1dB increments for a total gain range of 60dB. Eight analog ins and 10 TRS outs The MOTU UltraLite offers plenty of additional analog I/O via six balanced line-level 1/4" (TRS) inputs (a total of eight analog ins) and 10 analog TRS outputs. Also included are 96kHz stereo S/PDIF digital I/O, a dedicated stereo headphone output, and MIDI I/O for a controller keyboard and other gear. MIDI performance is sample-accurate with supporting software. Built-in 8-bus mixer allows versatile monitoring options You can connect microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors, and then use the UltraLite's built-in 8-bus mixer to monitor all of these live inputs via the UltraLite's main outs, headphone jack or any other output - with virtually no monitoring latency and no processor drain on the computer. You can even create up to four separate (stereo) monitor mixes for the main outs, headphones and other outputs. Easy configuration with MOTU's CueMix Console Everything on the UltraLite, including talk-back and listen-back, can be controlled from the included CueMix Console software, just like a conventional mixer. When using the UltraLite to mix without a computer, you can control CueMix directly from the UltraLite's front-panel. When you finish front-panel programming, the backlit LCD displays 8-segment level meters for all inputs and outputs simultaneously, providing instant and continuous feedback, even in low light environments. Bus-powered and expandable via FireWire The UltraLite can draw power directly from its FireWire bus connection to the computer (no AC required) or from the included DC power supply when operating as a stand-alone mixer. You can easily expand your system by connecting additional UltraLite, Traveler, 828 or 896 FireWire audio interfaces. The UltraLite provides two FireWire A (400Mbit) ports for easy and convenient daisy-chaining. Syncs to SMPTE time code The MOTU UltraLite also provides on-board SMPTE time code synchronization features, which allow you to slave your UltraLite system to SMPTE time code (via any analog input) without a synchronizer. The UltraLite can also generate time code and send it to any analog output. These sync features are provided by a DSP-driven phase-lock engine with sophisticated filtering that provides fast lockup times and sub-frame accuracy. Like CueMix DSP, the synchronization features are cross-platform and compatible with all audio sequencer software that supports the ASIO2 sample-accurate sync protocol. Works with Macs (including Intel Macs) and PCs The UltraLite provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac OS X 10.3 or higher (including the new Intel Macs), Windows XP and any audio software that supports standard WDM/ASIO/Core Audio drivers. The included AudioDesk workstation software for Macintosh provides 24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit mixing/processing/mastering. MOTU UltraLite FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface Features: 10-input, 14-output audio interface with FireWire bus power 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution Two mic/instrument preamps with phantom power Digital Precision Trim knobs with a total of 60dB gain range Six balanced line-level TRS inputs Ten analog TRS outputs Stereo 96kHz S/PFDIF I/O Latency-free monitoring with four monitor mixes Program with CueMix Console or computer-free via front panel Expandable, with two FireWire A (400Mbit) ports Slaves to SMPTE time code Compatible with new Intel MacBook Pro computers MOTU makes mobile recording even easier with the UltraLite! Customer Reviews  Awesome   by B Skillet from Houston, TX, January 19, 2007 Music Background:  Freelance Trumpet Player, Vocalist for fun...Recording for Hobby. “Bought this today and recorded 4 vocals thus far...couldnt' be happier. I switched over from an M Audio 410 that was ailing. First of all, I plugged it straight into my Macbook, installed the CD, opened Logic and it worked instantly. Started singing and could not believe the presence...truly brought my Studio Project C1 to life. Extremely quiet preamps. Also the build of the thing is quite...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "The UltraLite is a great option for anyone who needs a lot of inputs and outputs in a small package, and at a great price. You get eight analog ins (two of which are very good sounding mic pres), and ten analog outputs. There's also a dedicated headphone output and two channels of digital I/O. Tack onto that the ability to daisy-chain this with up to three more MOTU FireWire interfaces and you've got a flexible package that can't be beat."
