28x32 USB audio interface with mixing, effects and control room
The heart of your studio in 1U
The Motu 828 is a 28-in / 32-out USB-C audio interface for Mac, Windows and iOS, with all 60 channels available simultaneously. ESS Sabre32 converters deliver 125 dB dynamic range and extremely low distortion, while two mic preamps measuring −129 dBu EIN, with up to +74 dB gain, −20 dB pad and 48 V phantom power, also offer Hi-Z guitar inputs and analog inserts. MOTU drivers deliver round-trip latency of about 2 ms over USB (96 kHz, 32-sample buffer).
Control room, DSP mixing and expansion
The front panel offers talkback, A/B speaker selection, two headphone outputs and a 3.9" colour display with metering for every channel. The Monitor Group controls up to ten analog outputs for 5.1 or 7.1 surround from a single fader. The CueMix 5 app for Mac, Windows and iOS controls the mixer with parametric EQ and effects, even wirelessly. Two ADAT optical banks, S/PDIF, word clock, MIDI, a foot switch input and loopback for livestreaming complete a full studio solution.
Superb analog performance
Renowned ESS Sabre32 DAC technology delivers 125 dB dynamic range and extremely low harmonic distortion, backed by decades of MOTU engineering in audio interfaces.
Transparent preamps and guitar inputs
The mic channels achieve −114 dB THD+N, 118 dB dynamic range and −129 dBu EIN, with individual gain, pad and 48 V phantom power. Each combo jack also accepts a Hi-Z guitar for DI tracking and re-amping without re-patching.
Monitor mixing with effects in CueMix 5
The CueMix 5 app for Mac, Windows and iOS gives you comprehensive graphic control over your mix, with parametric EQ, digital trims and quick access to every setting.
Wireless control from iPhone or iPad
Control mixing and settings from your computer or from an iPhone or iPad, even several devices at once, with password protection for network security.
Control room and loopback
Take control of your sessions with the front-panel talkback switch, connect two pairs of monitors and check your mix instantly with the A/B buttons. The Monitor Group controls 5.1 or 7.1 surround from a single fader.
Livestreaming and podcasting
Loopback channels route computer audio back into your software, where you can mix it with the mics and guitars on the 828 for livestreaming or podcasting.
