MOTU OctaLite

MOTU OctaLite

Compact USB Audio Interface with 8 Premium Preamps, DSP Mixing and Optical Expansion

The MOTU OctaLite is a powerful and versatile 16x12 USB audio interface that combines exceptional sound quality, ultra-low latency and extensive connectivity in a compact, road-ready design. Featuring eight combo XLR/TRS inputs for microphones, line-level sources and instruments, advanced DSP mixing and optical expansion capabilities, the OctaLite is equally at home in the studio or on stage.

Its high-performance microphone preamps provide up to +74 dB of gain with an exceptionally low noise floor, while ESS Sabre32 Ultra™ converter technology delivers outstanding audio fidelity with up to 125 dB of dynamic range on the analog outputs. The integrated DSP engine allows you to create near-zero latency monitor mixes and apply reverb, EQ, compression and gating without taxing your computer’s CPU.

The OctaLite can also operate as a standalone mixer or serve as an optical expander for interfaces such as the MOTU UltraLite-mk5, making it a flexible solution for recording, live production and mobile audio applications.
