PCI Audio Interface
The 24I/O is a single rack-space
96kHz audio interface for Macintosh
and Windows systems that fulfills the
promise of host-based hard disk recording: to
record, edit, mix process, and master multitrack
recording projects entirely inside your computer. It pro-
vides 24 balanced 1/4˝ (TRS) 96kHz analog inputs and outputs
in a single rack-space enclosure, allowing you to connect and record
from 24 simultaneous analog sources. Like the 2408MK3, a 24i/o core
system includes MOTU's next generation PCI-424 card, which provides
expansion up to 96 inputs/outputs, DSP–driven mixing and monitoring, legacy I/O
support, on-board SMPTE synchronization and Audiodesk workstation software for Macintosh.
The 24I/O rack interface which is also available separately as an expansion I/O for 24i/o or 2408mk3 systems provides
5-segment front-panel meters for every input and output and software-switchable (-10/+4) analog input levels.
Metering
◆ The 24I/O’s front panel is essentially a dedicated meter bridge for
your hard disk recording system. Audio activity for every input and
output is represented by its own five-segment LED bar graph.
Front Panel Power Switch
◆ Useful in the unlikely event you wish to turn off your 24I/O. An
interesting fact about MOTU Audio interfaces is that they are hot
swappable. This means you can power off, plug-in, add and remove
interfaces without turning your computer off or restarting. In fact, if
you already have a 2408MK3 or other PCI-424 system, adding a 24I/O
is as easy as plugging in an AudioWire cable.
24-bit analog TRS I/O
◆ The 24 analog inputs and outputs are professional-grade 1/4” TRS
(balanced/unbalanced) connectors operating at either -10dB or +4dB.
The input level can be switched via software in banks of eight inputs.
In addition, CumixDSP provides continuously variable input trim with
up to 12dB boost per channel.
Word Clock I/O
◆ The 24I/O audio interface provides industry standard word clock sync
on a single BNC connector that can be programmed for input or
output via software.When operating as a word clock input, the word
connector allows the 24I/O to synchronize smoothly with today’s
digital audio studio.When operating as a word clock output, the word
connector can be used as a master clock to drive other digital devices
in your studio, such as a digital mixer.
AudioWire
◆ Uses the second generation AudioWire introduced with the 2408MK3.
It is a high-bandwidth digital audio format capable of carrying up to
24 channels of 96 kHz digital audio in and out of the computer at the
same time. AudioWire can readily handle the 24 simultaneous inputs
and outputs of the 24I/O audio interface.
Power Supply
◆ Comes with an internal power supply and standard detachable IEC
power cable. No wall warts or line lumps.
