Motu, 9345, 112D Thunderbolt/AVB Ethernet/USB Audio Interface with 112 Channels of Digital I/O and MADI
The MOTU 112D is a flexible digital audio interface, router, format converter, and stand-alone mixer with connectivity to your computer through ultra-fast Thunderbolt technology, AVB Ethernet, or class-compliant, high-speed USB 2.0 (also compatible with USB 3.0 and iOS).112 Channels of Simultaneous Digital Audio I/O. The 112D provides 24 channels of AES/EBU I/O, plus 24 channels of ADAT optical I/O. plus 64 channels of MADI I/O. That all adds up to 112 in and out, for 224 simultaneous channels of digital I/O. All input and output channels can be active simultaneously.64 Channels of MADIThe 112D serves as a flexible 64-channel MADI interface, router and converter with near-zero latency and flexible outing/splitting to and from the AVB network, computer, AES/EBU and optical formats. The 112D supports both 64-channel and 56-channel MADI at 1x sample rates, along with 32 channels at 2x and 16 channels at 4x.24 Channels of AES/EBU and ADATThree 8-channel D-sub connectors supply 24 channels of AES/EBU digital I/O at sample rates of up to 96kHz. Three 8-channel ADAT banks provide 24 channels of optical I/O at rates up to 48kHz. At 88.2 or 96kHz, all six ADAT banks support 4-channel SMUX operation for 24 channels of optical I/O at 2x sample rates. Ultra-low I/O LatencyEvery digital audio workstation has some form of latency. The only question is, how much? In the case of the 112D, the answer is, not much at all. In the 112D, latency is measured in a handful of samples, from the time an audio signal first arrives at an input to its arrival somewhere else (an output, the mixer, the network or the computer). By keeping latency this low in the hardware, the 112D helps minimizer latency introduced by your host software.
