Unmatched Connectivity and Latency
At its core, the MOTU 848 features 28 inputs and 32 outputs, powered by 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 4/USB4 connectivity. It works seamlessly with macOS, Windows, and iOS, delivering up to 256 audio channels (128 in, 128 out) with round-trip latency under 1.9 ms. A second Thunderbolt port allows daisy-chaining other peripherals, while AVB networking supports up to 128 channels per unit, scalable to hundreds across multiple devices.
Studio-Grade Analog Performance
The 848 is driven by ESS Sabre32 Ultra™ DACs, delivering pristine audio quality with 125 dB dynamic range. Four premium combo inputs provide mic/line/Hi-Z guitar support, offering +74 dB of gain, –129 dBu EIN, and ultra-clean performance with inserts for outboard gear. Meanwhile, 12 balanced TRS outputs make it Dolby Atmos ready, supporting configurations up to 7.1.4 monitoring. All outputs are DC-coupled, perfect for modular synth control.
Front-Panel Control and Monitoring
A bright 3.9-inch full-color TFT display provides detailed metering for all I/O, with customizable views. Dual headphone outputs feature independent volume and source selection, while front-panel controls give instant access to talkback, monitor switching, mute, and mono summing for quick workflow adjustments.
Flexible DSP Mixing and Effects
With its 32-bit floating-point DSP engine, the MOTU 848 delivers 64-channel CueMix Pro™ mixing, offering parametric EQ, compression, gating, and reverb across all inputs and buses. It’s equally at home in the studio or live, with Wi-Fi control from iOS devices making remote mixing effortless.
Comprehensive Routing and Networking
CueMix Pro’s intuitive interface makes routing a breeze, whether you’re sending analog inputs to your DAW, splitting signals across outputs, or integrating multiple AVB units. The built-in AVB switch allows daisy-chaining up to 8 MOTU units, with near-zero latency even over long cable runs — making the 848 a future-proof addition to any professional setup.
Included Software Suite
The MOTU 848 ships with CueMix Pro™, Performer Lite DAW software, and a 6 GB sound library from Loopmasters, LucidSamples, Big Fish Audio, and MOTU. Together, these tools provide everything you need to start recording, mixing, and producing with professional results.
The Future of Audio Interfaces
From high-end mic preamps and Dolby Atmos monitoring to expansive AVB networking and DSP-powered mixing, the MOTU 848 is built for creators who demand uncompromising performance. Whether you’re in the studio, on stage, or working remotely, this interface ensures you’ll hear your work exactly as it was meant to sound.
