Available from Gear4Music at £1,711.00 ($2,173).

The MOTU 848 Thunderbolt/USB Audio Interface is ideal for professional producers engineers and creators working across multi-input recording surround monitoring and AVB-based studio networks. It provides 60 simultaneous audio channels powered by high-end ESS Sabre32 DACs for detailed audio playback and ultra-low distortion. With 256 computer I/O channels via Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 you can integrate the 848 into any high-channel-count setup. Four mic inputs feature transparent preamps and guitar DI support while mix control is handled through a 64-channel DSP mixer with built-in EQ compression reverb and more. Flexible monitoring is built in with a 12-output Monitor Group A/B/C speaker switching and two headphone outputs. Advanced routing is made easy through a matrix-style Routing Grid and virtual patchbay. Onboard AVB networking allows connection to multiple MOTU devices over long distances without extra software or complex configuration. The included Performer Lite DAW and 6 GB of loops give you everything you need to start creating right away.
