MOTU 828 28 x 32 USB 3.0 Audio Interface

---

Since the original 828's introduction in 2001, MOTU's one-rack-unit, two-preamp audio interface has remained ubiquitous in project studios worldwide. Now in its fifth iteration, the MOTU 828 brandishes lightning-fast USB3 connectivity with 2–3ms of roundtrip latency and a host of creativity-enhancing features. The 828 flaunts ESS Sabre32-fueled sound with 24-bit/192kHz conversion, in addition to overhauled mic pres with 74dB of available gain, hardware inserts, and hi-Z guitar inputs. You'll appreciate the 828's built-in 24-channel digital mixer with onboard DSP effects, as well as its advanced control room features. This 28-in/32-out interface is jam-packed with I/O, including two banks of optical I/O, plus word clock and MIDI. You also get an optical expansion mode, a footswitch input, a 3.9-inch front-panel TFT display with customizable metering, multichannel monitor control for surround workflows, and Wi-Fi control from your Mac, PC, or iOS device. Studios will be hard-pressed to find a more powerful combination of industry-leading sound, low-latency operation, workflow-elevating features, and comprehensive I/O than you'll get with the MOTU 828.
