8MOTU 828 mk2 FireWire Used equipment, functional with slight noise on the output channel. Easy to repair, but since I am using another audio interface, I am selling it. Includes original box, manual, power cable, FireWire cable, and FireWire cable with Mac adapter. Product Description (Manufacturer) The 828mkII contains everything you need to transform your computer into a powerful 96 kHz digital audio workstation. The 828mkII delivers 10 channels of pristine 96 kHz analog recording and playback, combined with 8 channels of ADAT digital I/O and stereo S/PDIF. Expand your system by connecting MOTU 828 or 896 FireWire audio interfaces. The 828mkII is equally suitable for studio and stage use—with or without a computer. As a computer interface, the 828mkII offers 20 discrete inputs and 22 outputs, including separate main outputs and headphone output. The two microphone/guitar/instrument inputs feature pre-amplified analog sends, allowing you to insert your favorite external EQ, compressor, guitar amplifier, reverb, or other effects before the signal goes digital. Use any input as a return. You can add additional send/return loops using the 828mkII’s new CueMix DSP—its built-in, flexible, DSP-powered mixing and monitoring matrix eliminates the need for an external mixer or patchbay. Connect all your studio gear—including microphones, guitars, synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and even effect processors. Then monitor all these inputs live through the 828mkII’s main outputs, headphone output, or any other output—practically zero-latency monitoring with no CPU load on your computer. You can even create separate monitor mixes for main outputs, headphones, and other outputs. Front and Rear Panel Description: 1 - CueMix DSP mixer controls Create up to four stereo monitor mixes with 20 inputs each using these front-panel controls. Mix to any four output pairs you wish. Because the mixing takes place in the 828mkII itself, your computer’s processor is free for other tasks. 2 - Volume control Dual function knob provides separate volume control over main outputs and headphones. 3 - Front-panel mic/guitar inputs Two front-panel inputs accept either high-impedance ¼-inch inputs or low-impedance XLR microphone inputs. The microphone preamplifiers provide ample gain and individually switchable phantom power. Use the rear-panel sends to insert an outboard EQ, compressor, reverb or other processor before the signal goes digital. 4 - S/PDIF I/O Stereo 24-bit, 96 kHz S/PDIF digital I/O. Connect a DAT machine or effects processor. 5 - ADAT sync port Provides sample-accurate sync for compatible devices. Transfer multiple passes of ADAT via lightpipe with single-sample accuracy every time. 6 - ADAT optical I/O Eight channels of ADAT optical (lightpipe) input and output. Connect a digital mixer, ADAT recorder, or additional A/D/A converter. Also supports four channels of 88.2 or 96 kHz audio. 7 - International power supply Built-in international power supply accepts 110–220 V via a standard IEC cable so your 828mkII can follow you wherever your music takes you. 8 - Word clock Word clock input and output for synchronization with a wide variety of digital devices—or a centralized word clock source. 9 - Standard 1394 ‘FireWire’ ports Connect your FireWire-equipped computer here. No PCI or PC cards to install—just plug in and go. MOTU FireWire interfaces are expandable; the second FireWire port allows you to daisy-chain more devices without the need for a FireWire hub. 10 - Backlit LCD display The 828mkII can be used as a stand-alone mixer. The front-panel display allows you to configure your system using an intuitive interface. Every setting is available from the LCD. 11 - Level meters / status indicators Dedicated LEDs display audio levels, tach and lock status, and clock rate. 12 - MIDI input and output No need to carry an additional MIDI interface. Connect a MIDI controller, keyboard, sound module, control surface or any other MIDI device. 13 - Eight balanced TRS analog ins/outs 24-bit 96 kHz analog inputs and outputs on balanced/unbalanced ¼-inch connectors. Input level can be switched between +4 dBu and -10 dBV for each input via software. 14 - Sends These pre-amplified analog outputs from the two front-panel inputs allow you to insert a compressor or effects processor before the signal goes digital. Use any input as a return. 15 - Main outputs Connect powered monitors directly to these jacks and separately control your main mix and monitor levels with convenient, front-panel knobs. 16 - Hands-free punch in/out Connect a pedal for hands-free punch in and out. 17 - SMPTE I/O Sync the 828mkII directly to an external analog tape deck or video source. No extra synchronizer needed.
