MOTU has introduced the 896mk3, a cross-platform FireWire audio interface with on-board effects and mixing.

Features include eight XLR/TRS "combo" style analog inputs with high-quality preamps, true hi-Z guitar inputs, a total of 28 inputs and 32 outputs, 192 kHz analog operation, signal overload protection, a 32-bit floating point DSP for digital mixing and effects processing, two banks of configurable optical I/O and much more.

Effects include :

- Classic Reverb with five different room types, three frequency shelves with adjustable crossover points, shelf filtering and reverb lengths up to 60-seconds
- compression/limiting with two forms of compression : a standard compressor with conventional threshold/ratio/attack/release/gain controls and the Leveler , an emulation of the legendary LA-2A optical compressor
- EQ with 7-band parametric EQ modeled after British analog console EQ's, featuring 4 filter styles (gain/Q profiles), LP and HP filters with slopes that range from 6 to 36 dB

The 896mk3 will ship this summer for a price of $1,295.
