MOTU UltraLite-mk3 10x14 Hybrid FireWire/USB2 Audio & MIDI Interface with Effects & Mixing, 24-bit Converters, +48V Phantom Power

MOTU UltraLite-mk3 Features

• Hybrid FireWire/USB2 connectivity - connect to your computer via either bus-powered FireWire or hi-speed USB2
• CueMix FX flexible 10 input/14 bus mixer with on-board DSP effects, including reverb with sends/returns, plus EQ and compression on every input and output
• 10 inputs / 14 outputs - there's no channel sharing in the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid; the mic inputs, S/PDIF I/O, headphone out and main outs are all handled as separate channels
• Classic Reverb provides five different room types, three frequency shelves with adjustable crossover points, shelf filtering and reverb lengths up to 60 seconds
• Two forms of compression - a standard compressor with conventional threshold/ratio/attack/release/gain controls and the Leveler, an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A optical compressor, which provides vintage, musical automatic gain control
• Modeled EQ - provides 7-band parametric EQ modeled after British analog console EQs, featuring 4 filter styles (gain/Q profiles) to effectively cover a wide range of audio material. LP and HP filters are also supplied with slopes that range from 6 to 36 dB
• CueMix FX cross-platform mixing software attractive graphic mixing, graphic editing of parametric EQ and a convenient tabbed interface for quick access to all features in one window
• Front-panel control - access any setting in your entire UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid mix directly from the front panel
• "Reverb return" stream allows users to record or mix UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid reverb output separately in their DAW. Effects can also be applied when the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid is operating stand-alone (without a computer) as a complete stand-alone mixer
• Two combo jacks provide hi-Z 1/4" guitar input or low-Z XLR mic input with phantom power, pad and plenty of gain
• Eight 24-bit 192kHz analog inputs and outputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS jacks
• Precision Digital Trim Digitally controlled analog trim on all analog inputs (mic/guitar inputs + quarter-inch TRS inputs) provides accurate adjustements in 1 dB increments. Fine-tune the balance of your analog inputs and then save/recall trim configurations
• Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) a DSP-driven phase lock engine and internal clock source that produces imperceptibly low jitter characteristics (below the noise floor), even when the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid is resolved to an external clock source via SMPTE time code
• Time code support directly resolves to (or generates) time code via any quarter-inch input or output, without the need for an extra synchronizer
• Sample-accurate MIDI connects a MIDI controller and/or sound module with no separate interface needed. MIDI I/O is sample-accurate with supporting software
• Expandable adds additional interfaces for more I/O as your needs grow
• Separate TRS main outs with front panel volume control
• Stereo 24-bit 96kHz S/PDIF in/out
• Includes native 32- and 64-bit drivers for Mac OS X and Windows 8/7/Vista/XP, including ASIO, WDM, Wave, Core Audio and Core MIDI. Supports all popular Mac and Windows audio software
• 100% compatible with all host-based effects processing in today's popular audio programs
• Includes AudioDesk full-featured sample-accurate workstation software for the Mac with recording, editing, mixing, real-time 32-bit effects processing & sample-accurate sync
• Plug-and-play operation with your Mac or PC via FireWire or USB2
• Front panel volume control for monitoring. Stereo, Quad, 6.1, 7.1 and user-defined surround monitoring setups available
• Front panel headphone jack with volume control
• Bus-powered FireWire operation. No need for external power when operating as a FireWire interface connected to a computer. A power supply is included for stand-alone operation
