A premium interface from one of the most reliable brands in the business, MOTU's 10pre offers rock-solid, high-end sound and exceptional versatility. 54 simultaneous audio channels spread across analogue and digital I/O, on-board DSP, effects and networking options. Future-proof reliability. Supplier's Notes: Equipped with industry-leading Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 technology, the 10pre audio interface connects to a Mac, PC or iOS device with extremely low-latency, high-performance drivers to deliver 54 channels of audio I/O, 10x8 channels of analog I/O, ten ultra-quiet mic inputs with +74 dB of preamp gain and hi-Z quarter-inch guitar inputs, superb analogue performance driven by renowned ESS Sabre32 DAC technology, two 8-channel banks of optical digital I/O, 64-channel/32-bus mixing, and on-board 32-bit effects processing, including reverb, 4-band EQ, compressor and gate. Using intuitive, virtual patch cords in the included CueMix Pro app, easily route any source signal to any destination. Daisy-chain multiple 10pre's together using standard network cables connected to dual Gigabit AVB network ports, or build an AVB network with AVB switches. Advanced features include remote control of all ten preamps with individual gain/pad/phantom power, two dedicated send/return inserts for outboard gear, two independent headphone outputs, A/B/C monitor switching, talkback, stand-alone mixing, word clock, and Wi-Fi control from your phone or tablet. Renowned ESS Sabre32 DAC technology delivers 125 dB dynamic range and extremely low harmonic distortion. Analog performance is driven by decades of engineering expertise in audio interface technology. The 10pre delivers cutting-edge Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 universal connectivity for Mac, PC, iOS and iPadOS. Connect your host device with the included 40 Gbps USB-C cable and the 10pre negotiates the fastest possible connectivity speed, up to 40 Gbps, with backward compatibility for Thunderbolt 3, USB3 and USB2 host connections. Thunderbolt and USB4 connections deliver an astonishing 256 channels of computer I/O (128 in and 128 out) at sample rates up to 96 kHz. Connect all your studio gear, including monitors, headphones, microphones,guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines, outboard processors, optical expanders, and more. All 26 inputs and 28 outputs are available simultaneously. Optimized drivers for both Mac and PC deliver renowned, ultra-low latency performance. With a high-performance DAW such as Digital Performer, the 10pre delivers an astonishing round trip latency (RTL) of ~1.8 ms (milliseconds) over Thunderbolt and USB at 96 kHz with a 32-sample host buffer. Daisy-chain the 10pre with up to six other Thunderbolt devices, all connected to your host computer with massive 40 Gbps bandwidth to easily handle hundreds of audio channels, 8K video, terabytes of hard drive storage, and more. Thunderbolt 4-compatible USB-C cable included (length = 2 meters). Capture your recorded material in its truest, most natural form with -114 dB THD+N, 118 dB dynamic range and -129 dBu EIN performance. Each mic channel has individual preamp gain, pad, 48V phantom power and remote control from your computer or iOS device. Each combo jack alternately provides a 1/4-inch high-impedance TS guitar input for DI tracking and reamping. Do you work with compressors and other outboard gear? Mic inputs 1-2 each offer a dedicated analog send/return loop, allowing for both mono or stereo mic channel outboard processing via fully balanced connections. Control your 5.1 or 7.1 surround speaker system with a single fader. The Monitor Group gives you the flexibility to choose any analog outputs you wish to control. Take control of your recording sessions with the front-panel talkback switch. Connect three sets of monitors and check your mixes instantly with front-panel A/B/C select buttons. The 10pre is equipped with a 64-channel mixer designed just like a large format mixing console. The 64 inputs can take signal from anywhere: the physical inputs on the 10pre interface itself, audio channels from host software on your computer, audio network streams, or even mixer outputs. The mixer provides 26 aux busses, plus main, reverb, monitor, and solo buses. All inputs and output buses provide 4-band double-precision parametric EQ and a compressor. Additionally, input channels include a High-Pass Filter and Gate. In essence: capable and transparent mixing. Using intuitive, virtual patch cords, you can easily route any source signal to any destination. Sources can be analog or digital inputs on the interface, computer channels, mixer bus outputs, or audio network streams from other devices on the network. Destinations nclude interface outputs, host software inputs, mixer inputs, or any other device (or computer) on the network. You can even split any single source (or stereo pair) to unlimited multiple output destinations. For complex workflows that involve routing and splitting at scale, the Routing Grid provides a global "bird's-eye" view of all the connections in your 10pre system. Manage hundreds of audio channels quickly, at a glance. Check for signal with convenienct activity meters. Show and hide audio banks to customize your routing environment. Display destinations on either the right side or left side of the grid, as you prefer. Audio networking has come of age, delivering a world of possibilities. The 10pre features an integrated AVB switch with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing you to daisy-chain multiple 10pre, 848, and 16A units using standard network cabling. Alternatively, expand your network by connecting an external AVB switch to build a network with multiple interfaces, computers, and ultra-low network latency, even over long cable runs (hundreds of meters). Each 10pre can transmit and receive 128 audio channels to and from the network. Stream hundreds of audio channels among devices and computers on the network. The 10pre is compatible with previous-generation MOTU AVB devices. Thunderbolt/USB4 compatible USB-C cable included.
