Upgraded DAC, Dual Full-color Displays, and AVB Networking

MOTU's 8pre-es outclasses its predecessor with an ESS Sabre32 DAC and dual full-color displays. Experience pristine audio playback, with an outstanding 123dB of dynamic range. 

This interface's recording performance is impressive, with round-trip latency as low as 1.6ms at 96kHz. A superb complement of I/O includes 52 simultaneous audio channels, eight great-sounding mic preamps, a range of digital options, and AVB networking. Use the 8pre-es as a standalone mixer, or enjoy wireless control from your tablet, smartphone, and laptop. 

The 8pre-es's powerful DSP-driven mixer gives you 48-channel mixing, along with a range of great-sounding digital effects. The 8pre-es makes a fine centerpiece for any studio.

High-end converters, ultra-low latency, and ample I/O offer top-shelf performance

The 8pre-es follows suit, packing top-notch sound, impressively low latency, and ample I/O into a single-rack enclosure. Renowned ESS Sabre32 DAC technology delivers 123dB of dynamic range, ensuring that the 8pre-es's analog audio quality can hang with the most impressive gear on the market. 

Optimized drivers yield round-trip latency as low as 1.6ms at 96kHz via Thunderbolt and 1.9ms via USB. Packed with connectivity, the 8pre-es includes eight mic preamps, eight analog outputs, and a pair of stereo headphone outputs. The 8pre-es also supplies you with 16 channels of ADAT and word clock I/O.

DSP-fueled mixer with EQ, compression, and effects

The MOTU 8pre-es's built-in digital mixer delivers large-console-style mixing with 48 channels, 7 stereo buses, 3 groups, access to 32 network inputs, and 32-bit floating-point effects processing, so building complex, latency-free routing schemes is a piece of cake. 

And routing is extremely flexible. Send any input to any output, or even multiple outputs. Add Classic Reverb, with lengths up to 60 seconds. Sculpt your sound with a 4-band British parametric EQ. Apply vintage compression that's modeled after the legendary LA-2A. 

The 8pre-es's mixing and effects DSP engine exhibit virtually unlimited headroom and outstanding sound quality.
