Further Details

MOTU 8pre Overview   Turn your computer into a powerful digital audio workstation with eight  mic inputs. Or add eight high-quality mic/instrument inputs to your  current system.   The 8pre FireWire audio interface delivers everything you need to turn  your computer into a powerful 24-bit, 96kHz digital audio workstation.  The 8pre provides eight microphone/instrument preamps with pristine 96kHz  analog recording and playback, combined with 8 channels of ADAT optical  digital I/O. Expand your system by connecting additional 8pres or other  MOTU FireWire audio interfaces.  Ultralite  The 8pre as your primary audio interface   Use the included CueMix™ software to mix all 16 inputs from your  computer. Eight channels of ADAT optical I/O make the 8pre an ideal  companion for a digital mixer. Two ADAT lightpipe connections work  together to support a full 8 channels of optical digital I/O at any  sample rate up to 96kHz.   Connect all of your studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths,  keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors. Then monitor all of  these live inputs via the 8pre’s main outs or headphone jack — with  virtually no monitoring latency and no processor drain on your computer.  You can even create separate monitor mixes for the main outs and  headphones. Control everything, including talk-back and listen-back, from  the included CueMix Console™ software, just like a large studio console.   The 8pre includes a 16-channel MIDI interface. Simply plug in your  FireWire cable, and both MIDI and audio are ready to go. Connect any MIDI  device, such as a controller keyboard, synth module, automated control  surface or drum machine. Timing is sample-accurate with supporting  software.   The 8pre provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac OS X 10.3 or  higher, Windows XP and all of your favorite audio software and host-based  effects via WDM/ASIO/Core Audio drivers. Or you can use the included  AudioDesk workstation software for Mac OS, with 24-bit recording/editing  and 32-bit mixing/processing/mastering.  The 8pre as a microphone preamp expansion interface   The 8pre is really two products in one. When it is not connected to a  computer via FireWire, the 8pre functions as an eight-channel analog to  digital (optical) converter. Connect the 8pre to your MOTU 828, 896,  Traveler or even another 8pre via the optical “lightpipe” connection to  add eight high-quality microphone pre-amps to your system. Since the  connection is digital, 100% pristine sound is maintained, down to the  very last sample.   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.
