828 Firewire Hard Disk Recording System - SUPERSEDED

SUPERSEDED by Mark 2.

Plug it into your firewire port! No PCI card needed. 8 track audio I/O with 2 XLR-1/4" Neutrik phantom powered mike preamps, S/PDIF digital I/O, ADAT, 1U Rack Mount Interface

The MOTU 828 includes a single rack space I/O unit, a 12-foot FireWire cable to connect the 828 to your computer, software drivers for both Mac OS and Windows, and AudioDesk, a complete Macintosh audio workstation software package.

AudioDesk gives you all of the latest advanced features you need to record, edit, mix, process and master an audio project in your Power Macintosh computer. It even includes MOTU's ground-breaking PureDSP time-stretching and pitch-shifting technology and dozens of real-time, 32-bit effects plug-ins. If you need integrated MIDI sequencing, you can obtain Digital Performer at a special upgrade price.

The 828 provides eight channels of balanced/unbalanced analog input and output using 24-bit converters with 105 dB dynamic range. Eight channels of 24-bit ADAT lightpipe and stereo S/PDIF I/O provide a grand total of 18 simultaneous inputs and outputs.

Analog inputs one and two are designed for maximum flexibility. They use Neutrik XLR/TRS combo connectors so you can plug anything from a microphone to a guitar into the same jack. If you prefer to use condenser microphones, you can apply 48-volt phantom power. Each input provides 40dB of gain with convenient front panel trim knobs.

Like our PCI-324 card, the 828 features an ADAT sync input jack for sample accurate audio transfers with Alesis ADATs, or any device that supports ADAT sync.

A pedal input allows you to plug-in a footswitch for hands-free punch-in recording. The 828 software auto-senses pedal polarity for easy setup.

A built in international power supply uses a standard IEC cable. No noisy wall warts or line lumps to keep track of.
