MOTU 828mkII Overview
The 828mkII contains everything you need to turn your computer into a powerful
24-bit, 96kHz digital audio workstation. The 828mkII provides 20 inputs
and 22 outputs, including 10 channels of pristine 96kHz analog recording
and playback, combined with 8 channels of ADAT digital I/O and stereo S/PDIF.
The 828mkII is equally well-suited for studio and stage, with or without
a computer. As a computer interface, the 828mkII provides 20 separate inputs
and 22 outputs, including separate main outs and headphone out. The two
mic/guitar/instrument inputs feature analog, pre-amplified sends which allow
you to insert your favorite outboard EQ, compressor, guitar amp, reverb
or other effects processor before the signal goes digital. Use any input
as a return.
You can add additional send/return loops using the 828mkII's new CueMix
DSP" on-board mixing feature, a flexible DSP-driven 20-input/8-bus mixing
and monitoring matrix that eliminates the need for an external mixer or
patchbay. Connect all of your studio gear, including microphones, guitars,
synths, keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors. Then monitor
all of these live inputs via the 828mkII's main outs, headphone jack or
any other output - with virtually no monitoring latency and no processor
drain on your computer. You can even create separate monitor mixes for the
main outs, headphones and other outputs. Control everything from the included
CueMix Console" software or directly from the 828mkII's front-panel.
Need to hit the road? The 828mkII operates as a stand-alone mixer, with
no computer required. Need to tweak your mix? Do it on the spot with the
828mII's backlit LCD and front-panel controls. Every 828mkII setting can
be accessed from the front panel.
Back in the studio, 8 channels of ADAT optical digital I/O, plus stereo
S/PDIF, make the 828mkII an ideal companion for a digital mixer. All digital
I/O connections support standard sample rates up to 96kHz.
The 828mkII includes 16-channels of MIDI input and output via the USB
connection to the computer. Simply plug in your USB cable, and both
MIDI and audio are ready to go. Connect any MIDI device, such as a controller
keyboard, synth module, automated control surface or drum machine. Timing
is sample-accurate with supporting software.
The 828mkII provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac OS 9, Mac OS
X (version 10.2 or later) , Windows Me/2000/XP and all of your favorite
audio software and host-based effects via WDM/ASIO/Core Audio/Sound Manager
drivers. Or you can use the included AudioDesk workstation software for
Macintosh, with 24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit
MOTU 828mkII Inputs and Outputs All inputs and outputs are discrete. In
other words, using a mic-preamp input does not 'steal' an input from the
TRS analog I/O bank, and the headphones and main outputs are available as
separate mix destinations. They do not 'mirror' another output. CueMix DSP,
however, can be configured to mirror an existing mix bus to the headphones.

MOTU 828mkII MIDI
The 828mkII includes a 16-channel MIDI interface that provides sample-accurate
timing with supporting software. Connect a MIDI keyboard, sound module or
control surface, and you are ready to go. The USB cable carries both
MIDI and audio so you don't need to connect an additional USB cable for
MIDI.
MOTU 828mkII CueMix DSP"
The 828mkII provides DSP-driven digital mixing and monitoring for all 20
inputs. You can connect mics, guitars, synths and effects processors, and
monitor everything from the 828mkII's main outs or headphone jack with no
separate mixer needed and no latency.
The 828mkII supports up to four separate stereo monitor mixes assigned to
any four digital or analog output pairs. For example, you could set up separate
monitor mixes for the main outs and headphone outs, while two additional
stereo buses could be used for send/return loops to reverb units or other
outboard gear. Each mix can support all 20 inputs (8 TRS analog, 2 mic,
8 ADAT optical digital and stereo SPDIF digital).
Bounce Back
A new "CueMix Bounce Back" feature lets you route one of the four CueMix
DSP mixes back to the computer. This allows you to record, for example,
your entire mix - including monitored inputs - back into the computer.
TalkbackCueMix
Console provides Talkback and Listenback buttons. Talkback allows an engineer
in the control room to temporarily dim all audio and talk to musicians in
the live room. Conversely, Listenback allows musicians to talk to the control
room. For Talkback, you can set up a dedicated mic in your control room
and connect it to a mic input on your 828mkII. For Listenback, you can set
up a dedicated listenback mic in the live room for the musicians and connect
it to another mic input.
Stand-alone mixing
The 828mkII can function as a stand-alone digital mixer. Create up to four
independent stereo mixes and adjust them on the fly with the front panel
display
MOTU 828mkII SMPTE The 828mkII is the first USB audio interface to
provide on-board SMPTE time code synchronization features. These features
allow you to slave your 828mkII system to SMPTE time code without a synchronizer
via a dedicated quarter-inch SMPTE input jack. A SMPTE out jack is also
provided for time code generation.
The 828mkII provides a DSP-driven phase-lock engine with sophisticated filtering
that provides fast lockup times and sub-frame accuracy.
The included MOTU SMPTE Console" software provides a complete set of tools
to generate SMPTE for striping, regenerating or slaving other devices to
the computer. Like CueMix DSP, the synchronization features are cross-platform
and compatible with all audio sequencer software that supports the ASIO2
sample-accurate sync protocol.
