ABOUT THE 8PRE USB

On-board SMPTE synchronization

The 8pre USB can resolve directly to SMPTE time

code via any analog input, without a separate

synchronizer. The 8pre USB can also generate

SMPTE time code via any analog output. The 8pre

USB 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 synchroni-

zation features are cross-platform.

THE 8PRE USB FRONT PANEL

Preamp gain, 48V phantom power and pad

The 8pre USB front panel provides convenient,

individual gain control, 48-volt phantom power

switch and 20 dB pad switch for each analog input.

Headphone output and main volume control

The 8pre USB front panel includes a quarter-inch

stereo headphone output jack and volume knob.

The volume knob also controls the rear-panel main

outs. Push the knob to toggle between them.

Metering section

The front panel of the 8pre USB displays input

metering. The ﬁve-segment input meters provide

dedicated multi-segment metering for their

respective analog inputs.

The

Mode

lights indicate whether the interface is

currently operating as a USB audio interface or an

analog-to-optical converter.

The

Clock

lights indicate the global sample rate and

clock source.

16-BIT AND 24-BIT RECORDING

The 8pre USB system handles all data with a 24-bit

signal path, regardless of the I/O format. You can

record and play back 16-bit or 24-bit audio ﬁles at

any supported sample rate via any of the 8pre USB’s

analog or digital inputs and outputs. 24-bit audio

ﬁles can be recorded with any compatible host

application that supports 24-bit recording.

The 8pre USB software installer provides the

following including cross-platform software

applications for Mac and Windows.
