Description
UltraLite AVB is an 18-input, 18-output audio interface with DSP mixing, wireless control, AVB audio networking and best-in-class analog audio quality for on-the-go mobile audio recording. Connect to a computer through AVB Ethernet or audio class compliant hi-speed USB 2.0 (compatible with USB 3.0 and iOS) and record at sample rates up to 192 kHz with two mic inputs, two hi-Z guitar inputs, six line-level analog inputs, eight analog outputs, 8-channel optical I/O (with support for 2-channel TOSLink), MIDI I/O and a headphone output. Powerful DSP delivers large console style mixing with 48 channels, 12 stereo busses, and 32-bit floating point effects processing, including modeled analog EQ, vintage compression and classic reverb. Matrix routing lets you quickly patch ins to outs, or split inputs to multiple destinations.
Use the UltraLite AVB as a stand-alone mixer and control everything wirelessly from innovative web app software running on your iPad, iPhone, tablet, smart phone, and laptop. Through AVB Ethernet, connect another MOTU AVB interface for more I/O or connect to an expanded MOTU AVB network with multiple interfaces and computers. From studio to stage, the UltraLite AVB delivers exceptional sound quality, state-of-the-art operation and rock-solid performance.
Features:
More I/O
The UltraLite AVB now provides separate mic and guitar inputs (two each), 8-channel ADAT optical (switchable to stereo TOSLink), 6 x 8 balanced quarter-inch analog I/O and MIDI IN/OUT jacks, all housed in a rugged aluminum alloy half-rack chassis that slides easily into a backpack. That's a total of 18 simultaneous inputs and outputs.
Best-in-class analog audio quality
The balanced analog outputs achieve a measured dynamic range of 117 dB, rivaling the audio quality of interfaces at much higher price points.
More DSP
Expanded DSP doubles the available processing power for the redesigned console-style mixer, which provides 48 inputs, 12 stereo busses and 32-bit floating point effects processing, including modeled analog EQ, vintage compression and classic reverb. Matrix routing lets you quickly patch ins to outs, or split inputs to multiple destinations. You can even use the UltraLite AVB as a stand-alone mixer and control everything wirelessly from innovative web app software running on your iPad, iPhone, tablet, smartphone and laptop. Multiple musicians can access their own aux mixes simultaneously from their own Wi-Fi devices.
Class-compliant connectivity
The UltraLite AVB connects to a computer through AVB Ethernet or audio class compliant hi-speed USB 2.0 (compatible with USB 3.0 and iOS) and records at sample rates up to 192 kHz.
Expansion and networking
The optical ports let you connect the UltraLite AVB to other interfaces you may own, or future gear purchases as your studio grows. Through AVB Ethernet, you can connect another MOTU AVB interface for more I/O with a standard Ethernet cable up to 100 meters long! Or, you can connect to an expanded MOTU AVB network with multiple interfaces and computers.
