MOTU 8Pre

What’s better than 2 or 4 mic inputs?
How about 8 mic inputs in one rack space, complete with a five-segment level meter, phantom power switch, 20 dB pad switch and trim knob right on the front panel for each input. Now add two banks of ADAT optical digital I/O for eight more channels — even at 88.2 or 96 kHz. Top it off with main outputs and MIDI I/O, and you’ve got the 8PRE, a FireWire audio interface that turns your Mac or PC into a complete studio that can record your entire band. Already have an interface or mixer with optical connectors? Connect the 8PRE via ADAT optical to add 8 mic inputs to your existing rig and seamlessly integrate 8 more inputs into your current mixing environment.
