This box contains everything you need to turn your computer into a powerful 24-bit/96kHz digital audio workstation. The 2408mk3 provides 8 channels of 2408mk3 Features: 8 analog inputs/outputs with 24-bit, 96kHz converters on balanced/unbalanced ? in. TRS jacks 3 banks of ADAT optical provide 24 channels of ADAT optical input/output at 44.1/48kHz - 12 channels at 88.2/96kHz Three banks of Tascam TDIF provide 24 channels of TDIF (Tascam digital) input/output - 12 channels at 88.2/96kHz Stereo S/PDIF in/out (with an extra stereo out) Provides stand-alone format conversion - transfer any format to any other, up to 24 channels at a time PCI-424 Features: Expandable to 96 active inputs/outputs at sample rates up to 96kHz Drivers for Mac & PC - 24 simultaneous inputs/outputs for all popular Macintosh and Windows audio software (ASIO/WDM/GSIF/MAS/Sound Manager) 100% compatible with all host-based effects processing in today's popular audio programs CueMix DSP - this on-board mixing and monitoring matrix allows you to mix up to 96 channels of 96kHz audio with the same near-zero latency as today's Resolve your entire system directly to word clock or SMPTE time code with sub-frame accuracy. No separate SMPTE synchronizer required Includes AudioDesk full-featured, sample-accurate workstation software for MacOS 9 with recording, editing, mixing, real-time 32-bit effects processin Provides word clock and ADAT Sync - achieves sample-accurate digital transfers between digital tape decks and the computer 8 analog inputs/outputs with 24-bit, 96kHz converters on balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS connectors 108dB S/N ratio (A-weighted) 24 channels of ADAT optical input/output 24 channels of TDIF (Tascam digital) input/output 2 channels of S/PDIF in and 4 channels out 16, 20 and 24-bit recording at 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz kHz ADAT sync input on PCI-424 card Word clock in and out Includes cross-platform PCI-424 card The 2408mk3 is ideal for both the computer-based studio with no mixing board and more elaborate studios built around a digital mixer of any size. For the computer-based studio, the included PCI-424 card features CueMix DSP, a flexible DSP-driven mixing and monitoring matrix that eliminates the n With 24 channels of digital I/O, the 2408 is ideal for connecting your computer to a digital mixer. Both ADAT lightpipe and Tascam TDIF digital connec And here's another 2408mk3 first: built-in video and SMPTE synchronization. Slave your entire workstation directly to video or SMPTE time code with su The 2408mk3 provides cross-platform compatibility with Macintosh, Windows 98SE/Me/2K/XP/Vista and all of your favorite audio software and host-based e The 2408mk3 upgrades the award-winning 2408 with many significant improvements including 96kHz support, SMPTE synchronization, support for four interf The 1U rack-mountable 2408mk3 provides seven banks of I/O: 1 bank of 24-bit, 96kHz analog on balanced TRS connectors, 3 banks of 96kHz ADAT optical, 3 In addition to the 8 dedicated analog outputs, the 2408mk3 also features a stereo output with front panel volume control so you can plug powered monit The PCI-424 card included with 2408mk3 core systems is fully compatible with legacy MOTU interfaces originally designed for the PCI-324 card. Connect The PCI-424 card features a powerful DSP chip dedicated to creating a custom tailored monitor mix of up to 96 channels of 96kHz audio. Because the mix Cuemix DSP is the most flexible Cuemix ever, allowing you to mix multiple channels into multiple mix busses or directly assigned outputs. Manage your Because the mixing takes place on the PCI-424 card, any MOTU Audiowire interface, including the original 2408, can take advantage of Cuemix's flexible A core 2408mk3 system provides 24 inputs and outputs, but it also offers the most expansion ever offered in a single PCI card. Up to four interfaces c Think about the possibilities: you could connect 12 ADATs and 12 DA-88s to your computer, along with 32 channels of analog I/O, and simultaneously rec The 2408mk3 also operates as a stand-alone audio format converter. You can convert audio from any one of its formats to any other, in banks of 8 chann If you expand your 2408mk3 system to four 2408mk3 I/O rack units, you can simultaneously connect 96 channels of ADAT optical, 96 channels of Tascam TD The 2408mk3 makes the distinction between the two digital I/O formats more transparent than ever; you can freely work with either format. Your digital mixer is an ideal companion for the 2408mk3 with its ability to integrate 24 channels of digital I/O with a single unit. For example, the The 2408mk3 provides S/PDIF digital I/O so that you can exchange digital audio with a wide variety of other devices via this industry standard format. The 2408mk3 is the first audio interface to provide on-board video and SMPTE time code synchronization features. These features allow you to slave you The 2408mk3 interface provides a dedicated RCA timecode input and output, but with the PCI-424 on-board DSP, any analog input can be a SMPTE input and With the 2408mk3, you have everything you need to sync to SMPTE and video. In a perfect world, your 2408mk3 system would arrive a week before your next recording project. But chances are, it will be only a few hours. That's w  more
