MOTU 896

The 896 is a 96kHz firewire audio interface for Macintosh and Windows. It provides everything you need to make great recordings, all in a durable 2U rack mountable package. The 896 is expandable.

Of course, the 896 ships with Sound Manager, ASIO, GSIF and WDM drivers for compatibility with your favorite software. The MOTU 896 includes the double rack space I/O unit, a 15-foot FireWire cable to connect the 896 to your computer, software drivers for both Mac OS and Windows, and AudioDesk, a complete Macintosh audio workstation software package. The 896 is expandable. Additional 896 or 828 units can be combined to handle large studio projects. Consult the MOTU Firewire 2.0 driver press release for more information.
