Get ready for the next generation of studio connectivity and power! MOTU has just unveiled a completely redesigned 16A audio interface, packing next-generation features like blazing-fast Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 connectivity, the powerful new CueMix Pro™ control app, and significantly enhanced DSP mixing capabilities into the familiar 1U rack format.
As your authorised MOTU reseller, Sounds Easy is thrilled to announce that this incredible new interface is available now to order. If you demand pristine audio quality, extensive analog I/O, and ultra-low latency performance, the redesigned MOTU 16A is built for you.
Connect the redesigned 16A to virtually any modern Mac, PC, or even iOS device with future-proof 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 4 / USB4. An industry first for MOTU, this ensures maximum bandwidth and performance. A high-quality USB-C to USB-C cable is included, offering compatibility with Thunderbolt 3, USB3, and USB2 ports as well. Experience MOTU's renowned, high-performance drivers delivering roundtrip latency (RTL) under 2ms (at 96 kHz with a 32 sample host buffer), crucial for tracking and virtual instruments.
Audio quality remains exceptional, driven by ESS Sabre32 Ultra™ DAC technology on the analog outputs, delivering a stunning 125 dB of dynamic range and transparent conversion.
The 16A continues its legacy as the perfect centerpiece for hybrid studios, offering:
16 x 16 Balanced TRS Analog I/O: Easily connect all your outboard synths, processors, and summing mixers. All outputs are DC-coupled for controlling modular synths directly from your DAW.
16 Channels of ADAT Optical I/O: Expand your setup with digital gear via 2 banks of 8-channel optical connections.
Word Clock I/O: Keep all your digital equipment perfectly synchronized with BNC connectors and a Thru option.
Take command like never before:
Dual High-Resolution Displays: Two large 3.9-inch full-color TFT screens provide detailed metering for all I/O, with customizable views accessible from the front panel.
Improved Headphone Monitoring: Dedicated volume and source select knobs let you easily monitor any signal pair (or mono source) directly from the front panel.
New CueMix Pro™ App: This redesigned software provides intuitive control over the massively upgraded 64-channel DSP mixer.
On-board Effects: Apply latency-free Reverb, 4-band Parametric EQ, Gate, and vintage-style Compression to inputs and busses without burdening your computer's CPU. Includes Talkback and A/B/C speaker select functions.
Flexible Patchbay: Virtually route any input (physical, computer channel, network stream) to any output with ease using CueMix Pro.
Build a truly scalable studio system with enhanced AVB Ethernet networking. Daisy-chain up to eight 16A units directly using standard network cables. Each redesigned 16A can now stream 128 channels to and from the network, allowing for huge channel counts across multiple rooms or devices with ultra-low latency. It remains compatible with previous-generation MOTU AVB devices.
