MOTU unveiled the 2408mk3, a single rack-space 96 kHz audio interface for Macintosh and Windows personal computers. This new expandable PCI card-based audio workstation represents a major upgrade to MOTU's 2408mkII interface, which the mk3 will replace at the same price ($995 for a core system, $695 for expansion I/Os). New features include 96 kHz analog and digital I/O, expansion up to 96 channels, DSP-driven mixing and monitoring, legacy I/O support, on-board SMPTE and video synchronization and software-switchable analog input levels.
The MOTU 2408mk3 has the following additional features:
* users can choose +4dBu or -10dBu operation separately for each analog input pair via software.
* the 2408mk3 audio interface connects to the PCI-424 card, installed in the computer, via a standard 6-pin IEEE 1394 cable. The PCI-424 supports cable lengths of up to 50 feet. Long cable runs such as this are often necessary in studios where the computer is housed in a separate room than the rack--mounted 2408mk3 audio interface.
* the front-panel metering has been expanded in the mk3 to provide dedicated five-segment level meters for every analog input and output.
* separate front-panel volume knobs provide independent volume control for the front-panel headphone jack and the rear-panel main outputs.
* the 2408mk3 ships with a complete set of drivers for Macintosh and Windows 98SE/Me/2K/XP and it is compatible with virtually all audio software on both platforms.
* a 2408mk3 core system includes AudioDesk, MOTU's sample-accurate workstation software for Mac OS with 24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit automated mixing, processing and mastering.
The MOTU 2408mk3 is expected to ship in the fourth quarter of 2002.
