MOTU 16A 16-Channel Thunderbolt/AVB/USB Audio Interface w/ DSP

The 16A Thunderbolt Audio Interface provides industry-leading dynamic range and large console style mixing with 64 channels of audio I/O (32X32), plus it supports USB 2.0 audio class compliant connectivity that is USB 3.0 compatible.

The 16A Thunderbolt Audio Interfaces functions as an interface, standalone mixer or patchbay, providing 32 separate inputs and 32 separate outputs, including sixteen balanced TRS analog inputs, sixteen balanced TRS analog outputs, and two 8-channel banks of ADAT optical digital I/O.

Powerful DSP delivers large console style mixing with 48 channels, 12 stereo busses, and 32-bit floating point effects processing, including modeled analog EQ, vintage compression and classic reverb. The unit's extensive routing grid patches ins to outs, or splits inputs to multiple destinations.

Use the 16A as a stand-alone mixer and control everything from the 16A's innovative web app running on your iPad™, iPhone™, tablet, smart phone, and laptop.

Connect a second MOTU AVB interface (1248, 8M or 16A) with a simple Ethernet cable. Add more I/O with the MOTU AVB Switch (sold separately). Build an AVB audio network with multiple switches and sub-millisecond latency, even over long cable runs. Stream hundreds of channels among devices and computers on the network. From initial tracking to final mastering, the 16A delivers superb sound quality, state-of-the-art operation, and reliable performance.
