It offers 32 inputs and 34 outputs, including 16 balanced TRS line connectors, two optical ADAT banks and a headphone output on the front. This makes the device ideal for use in modern production environments and on stage. The built-in ESS Sabre32 Ultraâ„¢ converters deliver a dynamic range of up to 125 dB and guarantee precise, high-quality audio at sample rates of up to 192 kHz.Thanks to universal connection options via Thunderbolt 4, USB4, USB3 and USB2 as well as compatibility with macOS, Windows and iOS, the 16A is extremely versatile. The connection to the computer is made via a 40 Gbit/s USB-C cable included in the scope of delivery. Depending on the host system, up to 256 audio channels (128 in, 128 out) can be used. The Class Compliant firmware also allows direct operation with iPads or other iOS devices without additional drivers.The MOTU 16A impresses with an extremely low round-trip latency of around 1.8 ms at 96 kHz and offers a powerful DSP mixer engine with 64-channel mixing, 32 busses and integrated effects such as reverb, EQ, gate, compressor and high-pass filter. The intuitive patchbay routing with virtual cables allows flexible signal routing and splitting of sources to multiple destinations.Two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports make it possible to set up an AVB network for connecting multiple interfaces or for use in networked studios. It can be conveniently controlled via the CueMix Pro software for macOS, Windows and iOS or via WLAN with the corresponding app. Further features such as DC-coupled TRS outputs for CV control of modular systems, loopback function for streaming, word clock connections as well as separate speaker selection and talkback function in control room mode underline the professional features of the 16A.Two high-resolution, 3.9-inch TFT color displays on the front provide precise level indication and direct access to central device settings. Power is supplied via an integrated power supply unit that can be used worldwide. With its robust construction, extensive connection options and uncompromising audio quality, the MOTU 16A is a future-proof solution for demanding music productions, broadcast applications and professional studios.Technical data:Converter: 24-bit/192 kHz technology, ESS Sabre32â„¢ DACAudio channels: Up to 256 channels (128 inputs and 128 outputs)Inputs/Outputs:32 inputs and 34 outputs16 balanced analog TRS (line-level) inputs/outputsTwo optical I/O banks (ADAT: 16 channels at 44.1/48 kHz, S/MUX: 8 channels at 88.2/96 kHz, optional S/PDIF)Front headphone outputConnectivity:USB-C (compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4, USB4, USB3 and USB2)Class-compliant for iOS connections (USB-C or Lightning with adapter)Integrated AVB switch with two Gigabit Ethernet portsLatency: Round-trip latency below 2 ms at 96 kHzMixing:64-channel mixer with 32 bussesDSP effects such as reverb, 4-band EQ, high-pass filter, Gate and compressionSystem requirements:Windows:Intel Core i3 PC (or AMD equivalent)4 GB RAM (recommended: 8 GB or more)Windows 10 22H2 or higher (x64 AMD/Intel)Windows 11 23H2 or higher (x64 AMD/Intel)Available Thunderbolt 3+ or USB portLarge hard disk (at least 500 GB for recordings)Mac:Intel Core i3 Mac or faster (including Apple Silicon Macs)4 GB RAM (recommended: 8 GB or more)macOS 12 or higher (with driver or USB class compliant)Available Thunderbolt 3+ or USB portLarge hard disk (at least 500 GB for recordings)iOS:iOS 17.5 or higherUSB-C port or Lightning port (with adapter, sold separately)Compatible with iPads and iPhones that support Class Compliant devicesScope of delivery:1x MOTU 16A Audio Interface1x USB cable (type B to type A)1x power cable (power supply)Software package (CueMix Pro, MOTU Performer Lite, 6GB of Loops & sounds from Big Fish Audio, LucidSamples, Loopmasters and MOTU)
