The Motu 848 is a 23 in x 32 out interface deigned to handle even the heaviest workloads. With highly flexible inputs, outputs, and connectability, it is a workhorse tool that can be tailored for almost any configuration needed.
Superb analog audio quality
Renowned ESS Sabre32™ DAC technology delivers 125 dB dynamic range and extremely low harmonic distortion. Analog performance is driven by decades of engineering expertise in audio interface technology.
60 simultaneous audio channels
Connect all your studio gear, including monitors, headphones,
microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines,
outboard processors, optical expanders, and more. All
28 inputs and 32 outputs are available simultaneously.
Four Transparent mic channels and hi-Z guitar inputs
Capture your recorded material in its truest, most natural form with -114 dB THD+N, 118 dB dynamic range and -129 dBu EIN performance. Each mic channel has individual preamp gain, pad, 48V phantom power and remote control from your computer or iOS device. Each combo jack alternately provides a 1/4-inch high-impedance TS guitar input for DI tracking and reamping.
Extra line inputs when you need them
Do you work with compressors and other outboard gear? Mic inputs 3-4 each offer a
dedicated analog send/return loop, allowing for both mono or stereo mic channel outboard
processing via fully balanced connections. If nothing is plugged in to a mic input, its return
serves as an extra line input with identical signal characteristics to all other line inputs.
64-channel mixing with 32-bit floating point precision
The 848 is equipped with a 64-channel mixer designed just like a large format
mixing console. The 64 inputs can take signal from anywhere: the physical inputs
on the 848 interface itself, audio channels from host software on your computer,
audio network streams, or even mixer outputs. The mixer provides 26 aux busses,
plus main, reverb, monitor, and solo buses. All inputs and output buses provide 4-
band double-precision parametric EQ and a compressor. Additionally, input
channels include a High-Pass Filter and Gate. In essence: capable and transparent mixing.
