MOTU 2408mk3 Expansion For 2408mk3 System

2408mk3 Expansion For 2408mk3 System description:

The MOTU 2408 MK3 Expansion Unit For 2408 MK3 System. Dependable 24 Input / 26 Output expander, without PCI 424 Card.

The MOTU 2408 MK3 Expansion provides 8 channels of pristine 96kHz analog recording and playback, combined with 24 channels of ADAT and Tascam digital I/O - the most ever offered in a single rack space audio interface. The expander unit does not include the PCI-424 card. It is aimed at existing MOTU 2408 MK3 users who already have a PCI-424 card but need more inputs and outputs. You can connect up to four interfaces to a PCI-424 card for an expanded system capable of 96 simultaneous active input and output connections at 96kHz. With 24 channels of digital I/O, the MOTU 2408mk3 Expansion is ideal for connecting your computer to a digital mixer. Both ADAT lightpipe and Tascam TDIF digital connections are supported at any sample rate up to 96kHz. Built-in video and SMPTE synchronization allows you to slave your entire workstation directly to video or SMPTE time code with sub-frame accuracy - without a dedicated synchronizer. The MOTU 2408mk3 Expansion provides cross-platform compatibility with Macintosh, Windows 98SE/Me/2K/XP and all of your favourite audio software and host-based effects via WDM/ASIO/Sound Manager drivers. The MOTU 2408MK3 uses the second generation AudioWire protocol, a high-bandwidth digital audio format capable of carrying up to 24 channels of 96kHz digital audio in and out of the computer at the same time.
