MOTU 10PRE

Motu 10PRE - Thunderbolt/USB4 audio interface

Equipped with industry-leading Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 technology, the 10pre audio interface connects to a Mac, PC or iOS device with extremely low-latency, high-performance drivers to deliver 54 channels of audio I/O, 10x8 channels of analog I/O, ten ultra-quiet mic inputs with +74 dB of preamp gain and hi-Z quarter-inch guitar inputs, superb analog performance driven by renowned ESS Sabre32™ DAC technology, two 8-channel banks of optical digital I/O, 64-channel/32-bus mixing, and on-board 32-bit effects processing, including reverb, 4-band EQ, compressor and gate.

Using intuitive, virtual patch cords in the included CueMix Pro™ app, easily route any source signal to any destination. Daisy-chain multiple 10pre’s together using standard network cables connected to dual Gigabit AVB network ports, or build an AVB network with AVB switches. Advanced features include remote control of all ten preamps with individual gain/pad/phantom power, two dedicated send/return inserts for outboard gear, two independent headphone outputs, A/B/C monitor switching, talkback, stand-alone mixing, word clock, and Wi-Fi control from your phone or tablet. Thunderbolt/USB4 compatible USB-C cable included.
