Motu 24Ai USB2 2.0, AVB Ethernet with 24-Channel Analog In

The MOTU 24Ai audio interface offers 24 analog channels in one rack space, superb audio quality, AVB audio networking and large console style mixing with 48 channels and 12 stereo busses. The 24Ai is part of MOTU's high-end audio interface lineup alongside the 1248, 8M, 16A and 24Ao. You can mix and match their complimentary I/O configurations and unify operation with their shared AVB audio networking platform.72 Audio Channels - 24 Channels of analog, plus three 8-channel banks of digital I/O - The 24Ai offers twenty-four balanced analog inputs in a single rack space plus three 8-channel ADAT optical banks, for a total of 72 channels (24 analog plus 48 optical). Use the 24Ai to add analog I/O to your computer, or as a flexible optical expander and mixer... or both! All analog I/O is supplied on multi-channel DB-25 D-sub connectors and Phoenix connectors for convenient flexible wiring in to sutdio and industrial installations alike. If you need individual quarter-inch connectors, check out the 16A interface from MOTU.Superb Audio Quality - The 24Ai employs the same industry-recognized analog deswign as MOTU's groundbreaking 1248, 8M and 16A audio interfaces. The 24Ai features a dynamic range of 110 dB and a THD+N of -102 dB on each of its line inputs.Ultra-Low I/O Latency - State-of-the-art Latency Performance - Every digital audio workflow hassomelatency; the only question is how much? In the case of the 24Ai the answer is not much at all. In the 24Ai, latency is measured in a handful of samples from the time an audio signal first goes digital to its arrival somewhere else (to an output, the mixer, or the computer). By keeping latency this low in the hardware, the 24Ai helps minimize latency introduced by your host software.Audio Class Compliant USB 2.0 - Broad compatibility with future-proof connectivity - Hi-speed USB 2.0 provides across-the-board compatibility with pretty much all laptops and desktops. The 24Ai is USB class compliant, which means you can enjoy OS-level USB compatibility and support, including iPad support (with an Apple Camera Connection Kit - sold separately). Since USB 2.0 devices are compatible with USB 3.0 equipped hosts, your 24Ai interface is a future-proof investment in your studio.48 Channel Digital Mixing - Control up to 12 separate stereo mixes - The 24Ai is equipped with a 48-channel digital mixer designed just like a large format mixing console. The 48 inputs can take signal from anywhere: the physical inputs on the 24Ai interface itself, audio channels from host software on your computer, audio network streams or even mixer outputs. The mixer provides 7 stereo aux busses, 3 groups, a reverb bus that can alternately serve as a 4th group, a Main Mix bus and a separate Monitor bus that can serve as a solo bus. In essence: capable and transparent mixing.Modeled Analog EQ and Compression - Vintage processing with 32-bit floating point precision - British analog mixing consoles are renowned for their musical EQ
