About the MOTU 828
The 2024 MOTU 828 carries the most famous name in project-rack interfaces into the current line: 28-in/32-out over USB3 with two mic preamps, eight balanced line ins and outs, dual ADAT expansion, and MOTU's CueMix Pro DSP. For playback rigs it is the do-everything 1U — line outs for stems, ADAT to expand, and rock-solid drivers. Replaces the discontinued 828es.
Current-gen 828: 28x32 USB3, 2 mic pre + 8 line I/O + dual ADAT.
