MOTU 16A TB4/USB4 Audio Interface with AVB Networking Audio Performance : Superb analog audio quality. Renowned ESS Sabre32™ DAC technology delivers 125 dB dynamic range and extremely low harmonic distortion. Analog performance is driven by decades of engineering expertise in audio interface technology. Universal Connectivity Thunderbolt and USB connectivity for Mac, PC and iOS The 16A is the first audio interface to deliver cutting-edge Thunderbolt4 and USB4 universal connectivity for Mac, PC and iOS. Connect your host device with the included 40 Gbps USB-C cable and the 16A negotiates the fastest possible connectivity speed, up to 40 Gbps, with backward compatibility for Thunderbolt 3, USB3 and USB2 host connections. Thunderbolt and USB4 connections deliver an astonishing 256 channels of computer I/O (128 in and 128 out) at sample rates up to 96 kHz. Audio I/O : 66 simultaneous audio channels Sixteen balanced/unbalanced TRS analog inputs and outputs, 2 x 8-channel ADAT optical ports, and an independent stereo headphone output deliver a total of 32 inputs and 34 outputs.Use the 16A for expanded analog I/O for your computer, or as a flexible, comprehensive patchbay and mixer. Or both! High Performance Driver: Ultra-low latency performance Optimized drivers for both Mac and PC deliver renowned, ultra-low latency performance. With a high-performance DAW such as Digital Performer, the 16A delivers an astonishing round trip latency (RTL) of ~1.8 ms (milliseconds) over Thunderbolt and USB at 96 kHz with a 32-sample host buffer. Connectivity: 60 simultaneous audio channels Connect all your studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines, outboard processors, MIDI gear, optical expanders - even a foot pedal. All 28 inputs and 32 outputs are available simultaneously. Thunderbolt Technology: Plug and play ease with massive bandwidth Daisy-chain the 16A with up to six other Thunderbolt devices, all connected to your host computer with massive 40 Gbps bandwidth to easily handle hundreds of audio channels, 8K video, terabytes of hard drive storage, and more. Thunderbolt 4-compatible USB-C cable included (length = 2 meters) Mixing and Effects: 64-channel mixing with 32-bit floating point precision The 16A is equipped with a 64-channel mixer designed just like a large format mixing console. The 64 inputs can take signal from anywhere: the physical inputs on the 16A interface itself, audio channels from host software on your computer, audio network streams, or even mixer outputs. The mixer provides 26 aux busses, plus main, reverb, monitor, and solo buses. All inputs and output buses provide 4-band double-precision parametric EQ and a compressor.Additionally, input channels include a High-Pass Filter and Gate. In essence: capable and transparent mixing. Point-to-Point Routing: Patchbay routing and splitting Using intuitive, virtual patch cords, you can easily route any source signal to any destination. Sources can be analog or digital inputs on the interface, computer channels, mixer bus outputs, or audio network streams from other devices on the network. Destinations include interface outputs, host software inputs, mixer inputs, or any other device (or computer) on the network. You can even split any single source (or stereo pair) to unlimited multiple output destinations. Audio Networking: Flexible system expansion Audio networking has come of age, delivering a world of possibilities. The 16A features an integrated AVB switch with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing you to daisy-chain multiple 16A units using standard network cabling. Alternatively, expand your network by connecting an external AVB switch to build a network with multiple interfaces, computers, and ultra-low network latency, even over long cable runs (hundreds of meters). Each 16A can transmit and receive 128 audio channels to and from the network. Stream hundreds of audio channels among devices and computers on the network. The 16A is compatible with previous-generation MOTU AVB devices. CueMix™ Pro: Control everything from your laptop, tablet and phone CueMix™ Pro is the consummate app for controlling everything in the 16A, including device settings, signal routing and 64-channel mixing and effects. Available for macOS, Windows, and iOS, you can run CueMix Pro on multiple devices at the same time and access the 16A wirelessly through Wi-Fi. As a 1722.1 controller, CueMix Pro can also be used to access AVB-related settings in 3rd-party devices on the network. Balanced analog: The 16A's balanced I/O connections are well-protected against RF interference, AC hum, and other noise-producing environmental factors. Optical I/O and optical expansion: Two optical banks provide 16 channels of ADAT optical at 48 kHz, 8 channels of S/MUX optical I/O at 96 kHz, with optional stereo TOSLink at rates up to 96kHz. Expand your 16A with other optical gear, or use it as an optical expander. DC-coupled TRS outputs: All analog outputs are DC-coupled. This means you can use the 16A to manipulate and sequence modular synthesizers from a host DAW using control voltage (CV) Meter Views:Not using the optical I/O? Or any analog I/O? The 16A provides customized meter views for analog I/O only, digital I/O only and other combinations to best support your workflow. Workstation software, virtual instruments and loops to get you making music right away Connect the 16A to your Mac or PC and start laying down tracks with the included Performer Lite or Live Lite production software, plus hundreds of loops, one-shots and sounds from industry leaders Big Fish Audio, Lucidsamples and Loopmasters.
