About the 828es
The 828es is a 28 x 32 Thunderbolt/USB/AVB
audio interface with console-style 48-channel
mixing, DSP effects, wireless control, AVB audio
networking and very high quality A/D/A
conversion at sample rates up to 192 kHz for on-
the-go mobile audio recording.
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.
The 828es can operate as an audio interface for a
studio workstation (DAW), as a standalone mixer,
or as an auxiliary monitor mixing system in the
studio or on stage. The following sections provide
a brief overview of its main features and character-
istics.
Comprehensive I/O
The 828es provides a variety of analog and digital
interconnects, all active simultaneously, designed
to provide everything you need for a well-
equipped recording studio.
† The 828es optical connectors support several
standard optical I/O formats, which provide
varying channel counts. See “Optical I/O” on
page 45 for details about optical bank operation.
All inputs and outputs are discrete. For example,
using a mic input does not “steal” an input from
the TRS analog I/O bank.
Network I/O
828es is capable of handling four 8-channel banks
of network audio input and output for an
additional 32 channels of network I/O.
Other MOTU interfaces
The 828es is part of a larger family of audio
interfaces that offer complementary I/O configu-
rations. For details, visit motu.com.
Universal connectivity
The 828es can connect to a computer with
Thunderbolt or hi-speed USB 2.0, which is
compatible with USB 3.0. It is USB audio class-
compliant, which means that it is iPad compatible
(with a camera connection kit) and does not
require driver installation for USB connection to a
computer.
Alternately, the 828es can be connected to the
Ethernet port on a recent-generation Mac (any
Mac with Thunderbolt on it) running Mac OS X
El Capitan (10.11) or later for audio interface
operation through AVB Ethernet.
Mic/guitar inputs with preamps
The two front-panel mic/line/instrument inputs
are equipped with preamps and “combo” XLR/
TRS jacks, which accept XLR microphone inputs
or quarter-inch line/instruments inputs.
