Now with Onboard Effects and Higher Resolution! The MOTU UltraLite-mk3 updates MOTU's famous UltraLite, making it more powerful than ever. This half-rackspace, bus-powered FireWire audio interface turns your laptop or desktop computer into a mobile recording studio with an impressive 10 inputs and 14 outputs. MOTU also updated the UltraLite-mk3 to even better 24-bit/192kHz resolution from the original's 96kHz. Delivering the same innovative design, proven reliability, and award-winning sound as MOTU's other high-end FireWire audio interfaces - including new CueMix Effects, as found on the acclaimed MOTU 896 - the MOTU UltraLite-mk3 is an incredibly compact and powerful interface! MOTU UltraLite-mk3 FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface at a Glance: Rugged mobile interface with two mic preamps Eight analog ins and 10 TRS outs with improved resolution New onboard 14-bus digital mixer and DSP effects processing A wealth of DSP effects 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-mk3 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-mk3 sees improved analog recording resolution - updated from 24-bit/96kHz to 24-bit/192kHz. You'll also enjoy 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 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. Onboard digital mixing and DSP effects processing Beyond its impressive I/O offering, the MOTU UltraLite-mk3 offers new onboard DSP effects and extensive mixing. All I/O is routed to a new onboard 14-bus digital mixer driven by hardware-based DSP with 32-bit floating point precision. You can apply no-latency effects processing to inputs, outputs, or busses directly in the hardware - independent of the computer - for making excellent monitor mixes for your musicians, or when you need a versatile stand-alone mixer. You can record input signals to the computer wet or dry - and can even record dry while keeping a monitor mix wet for your headphone mixes. Read below to find out more about the effects the MOTU UltraLite-mk3 includes. A wealth of DSP effects Effects on the MOTU UltraLite-mk3 include reverb, parametric EQ and compression/limiting. As far as reverb, the UltraLite-mk3's Classic Reverb gives you five different room types, three frequency shelves with adjustable crossover points, shelf filtering, and reverb lengths up to 60 seconds. Two forms of compression are supplied: a standared 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. Finally, the EQ section 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 36dB. Easy configuration with MOTU's CueMix Console Everything on the UltraLite-mk3, including talk-back and listen-back, can be controlled from the included CueMix Console software, just like a conventional mixer. When using the UltraLite-mk3 to mix without a computer, you can control CueMix directly from the UltraLite-mk3'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-mk3 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-mk3, Traveler, 828 or 896 FireWire audio interfaces. The UltraLite-mk3 provides two FireWire A (400Mbit) ports for easy and convenient daisy-chaining. Syncs to SMPTE time code The MOTU UltraLite-mk3 also provides on-board SMPTE time code synchronization features, which allow you to slave your UltraLite-mk3 system to SMPTE time code (via any analog input) without a synchronizer. The UltraLite-mk3 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-mk3 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-mk3 FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface Features: 10-input, 14-output audio interface with FireWire bus power 24-bit/192kHz 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 Onboard 14-bus digital mixer with effects Can operate as as standalone mixer with effects 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-mk3! Customer Reviews  Amazing Hardware   by Mac from MI, USA, September 23, 2008 Music Background:  Hobbyist “The hardware performs beautifully once you get it configured. You will end up avoiding the hardware interface since functions are burried so deep. Software is adequate, but needs a few more shortcuts. Lots of clean power for a very little unit. Built like a brick.” • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "Solid, tested drivers. 'Nuff said! Any MOTU piece I have ever used works and works long term. When I sit in front of my computer, I want to make music, not deal with driver issues."
