The highly acclaimed ESS Sabre32 DAC technology boasts an impressive 125 dB of dynamic range and exceedingly low harmonic distortion, supporting all standard sample rates up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. Drawing upon decades of MOTU engineering expertise in audio-interface technology, the analog performance is nothing short of exceptional. The interface offers a swift and reliable connection to Mac, Windows, or iOS devices via USB 3.1, capable of handling up to 60 audio channels (28-in / 32-out). Thanks to the class-compliant firmware, there is no need for any drivers when plugging and playing with Mac or iOS hosts. Furthermore, the interface works seamlessly with any audio apps, thanks to its industry-standard high-performance drivers.
Featuring an impressive array of 28 inputs and 32 outputs, including two combo XLR/TRS mic / line / Hi-Z guitar inputs with send/return inserts, eight TRS analog (line-level) in/out, and separate main outs on XLR jacks, the interface provides versatile connectivity options. The front-panel Hi-Z combo input allows for easy connection of your guitar, while CueMix's near-zero latency enables loop to any output (with the option of a re-amp adapter, if necessary) and simultaneous recording of both the dry signal and your miked-up amp. Additionally, each 828 mic input includes a dedicated analog send/return loop, enabling mono or stereo mic-channel outboard processing via fully balanced connections.
