{"product_id":"motu-octalite","title":"Motu OctaLite","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Motu OctaLite is a half-rack USB-C audio interface with eight mic preamps, 16 inputs and 12 outputs, and a built-in DSP mixer with effects. It can record into a computer or iOS device, run as a standalone mixer without a computer, or act as an 8-channel optical expander for another interface or mixer. It suits home and project studios, live rigs, and streaming or podcast setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight preamps:\u003c\/strong\u003e mic\/line\/hi-Z guitar inputs on XLR\/TRS combo jacks, each with +74 dB of gain, a -20 dB pad and individual 48V phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptical expansion:\u003c\/strong\u003e ADAT or TOSLink in and out, plus a second optical out that carries channels 5–8 as SMUX at 88.2 or 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDSP mixing and effects:\u003c\/strong\u003e separate phones and monitor mixes, three virtual mix buses, reverb, 4-band parametric EQ and dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow latency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 ms round trip over USB at 96 kHz with a 32-sample buffer using MOTU's driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eESS converters:\u003c\/strong\u003e ES9026PRO DAC on the main outputs, with ESS conversion on the headphone output too\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoopback:\u003c\/strong\u003e sends computer playback mixed with the live inputs back to the computer for streaming and podcasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an expander, the OctaLite adds eight preamps to interfaces such as MOTU's UltraLite-mk5, 828 and 16A, and its mic input circuitry matches the UltraLite-mk5. With the optional coupler kit, two OctaLites, or an OctaLite and an UltraLite-mk5, fit side by side in one rack space. Two OctaLites give 16 mic inputs in that space. A half-rack mounting kit is also available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front panel has two of the combo inputs, the headphone output, and controls for volume, gain and channel selection. A white OLED display handles metering and status. Effects can be applied to the headphone mix, to the recorded signal, or to both. The CueMix 5 app controls the mixer from Mac, Windows or iOS, and several mobile devices can connect over Wi-Fi through a computer on the same network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outputs are DC-coupled, so they can send CV from a DAW to a modular synth. Guitar re-amping uses a near-zero-latency loop-thru. The unit is class compliant, and MOTU's optional Mac driver adds the low-latency mode and loopback. MOTU Performer Lite comes with the interface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55653723144531,"sku":"72156","price":939.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/4052\/1299\/files\/39a75749-1e37-4508-8d0e-a6a08d011444.png?v=1793310260","url":"https:\/\/www.voltmusicstore.com\/products\/motu-octalite","provider":"Volt Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
