MOTU Traveller MK3 News: Engineered for high-end mobile recording applications, the Traveller mk3 delivers four very high quality mic inputs, bus power, optional battery power and DSP-driven mixing and effects processing.
The Traveler MK3 allows you to connect all of your audio instruments and gear, including mics, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors.
With the MOTU Traveler MK3 you can record, monitor, route and process all of these live inputs using the professional on-board CueMix FX digital mixer with no latency and no processor strain on your computer. You can also apply hardware DSP-driven effects processing to inputs, outputs, and busses independent of your host computer!
You can also add Classic Reverb with lengths up to 60 seconds and further sculpt your sound with 7-band parametric EQ featuring filter types carefully modeled after British analog console EQs. Choose between two forms of compression: a conventional compressor and the Leveler, an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A optical compressor that provides vintage, musical automatic gain control. When recording from the four mic/guitar inputs, the Traveller-mk3’s signal overload protection gives you an extra 12 dB of headroom above zero with no clipping or harsh artifacts.
After programming the on-board mixing in the studio, unplug the Traveler-mk3, remove the rack brackets, and take it on the road for operation as a portable, bus-powered audio interface for a laptop or battery-operated stand-alone mixer with effects. The Traveler slides easily into your backpack and fits neatly beneath your laptop. All mixing and effects parameters are adjustable using the front panel backlit LCD. Record extended sessions even in the most remote locations with the complete freedom of field battery power.
Adding more I/O to your Traveller mk3 system
As with other MOTU FireWire interfaces, the Traveler-mk3 supplies two FireWire jacks so it can be daisy-chained with additional MOTU FireWire audio interfaces or other devices.
The Traveller mk3 is also fully compatible with the 8pre, a single rack MOTU interface that adds 8 mic preamp inputs to the Traveler-mk3. Because the 8pre connects to the Traveler-mk3 via ADAT optical, its mic inputs are fully integrated into the Traveler-mk3's on-board CueMix FX digital mixer.
