FEATURES

• This personal desktop 16-in/14-out desktop recording interface gives you all of the I/O and advanced mixing options you need to make professional-quality recordings
• Slim desktop form factor keeps your work surface clear and your controls handy
• Hybrid high-speed USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 connectivity
• FireWire 400 supplies bus power (AC power supply provided for USB 2.0 operation)
• Supports up to full 24-bit/192kHz HD audio
• All analog I/O connects via a single DB-25 breakout cable for maximum versatility
• 2 x MOTU microphone preamplifiers provide you with low-noise, high-headroom performance
• Each mic pre features switchable +48V phantom power and a switchable -20dB pad
• 2 x dedicated instrument inputs allow you to record guitar and bass direct
• 4 x line-level inputs (in 2 x stereo pairs) are perfect for keyboards, drum machines, and outboard gear
• Top-panel controls provide one-touch control over all input and output levels
• CueMix FX lets you assign a separate pre-computer input mix to each output pair including the main outputs, the line outputs, the headphone outputs, 4 x optical pairs, and the return bus
• CueMix FX also lets you apply effects and processing to your input channels including Classic Reverb, a 7-band British style parametric EQ, a conventional compressor, and the Leveler (an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A optical compressor)
• Precision Digital Trim technology on all inputs provides adjustments in approximately 1/4dB increments, which you can store and recall later
• 8-bus mixer also functions in standalone mode
• Time code support directly resolves to or generates time code via any quarter-inch input or output, without the need for an extra synchronizer
• Direct Digital Synthesis DSP-driven phase lock engine and internal clock source produces imperceptibly low jitter characteristics (below the noise floor), even when the Track16 is resolved to an external clock source via SMPTE time code
• DC-coupled TRS outputs can be used with MOTU's Volta (sold separately) to manipulate and sequence voltage-controlled modular synthesizers from a host DAW
• Mac and PC compatible on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms
