X) and Windows (ME, 2000,
XP), the 828MKII takes profes-
sional audio recording a leap
forward in portability and plug-and-play operation,With a total of 20 simultaneous inputs and 22 outputs, two built-in
mic pre-amps, zero latency monitoring, and the ability to synchronize to anything via ADAT sync, the 828 provides a com-
plete studio in a box. Also included with the 828
MKII is the acclaimed AudioDesk workstation software for Macintosh as
well as ASIO, CoreAudio, Sound Manager, GSIF, and WDM drivers for compatibility with your favorite software.

◆ Eight 1/4˝ TRS bal/unbal analog inputs
and outputs using 24-bit / 96kHz convert-
ers. Input level can be switched between
+4/-10 for each input via software.
◆ Two 24-bit 96kHz analog inputs, on the
front panel,using 1/4˝ / XLR combo
Neutrik connectors,accept either high
impedance quarter-inch inputs or low
impedance XLR microphone inputs.The
microphone preamplifers provide plenty of
gain and individually switchable phantom
power and variable trim.
◆ Dual 1/4˝ Sends allow you to insert a com-
pressor or effects processor into the two
front panel input channels.
◆ Dedicated 1/4˝ TRS main outputs can be
connected directly to your powered moni-
tor system.
◆ Front panel 1/4˝ headphone jack
◆ A dual function knob on the front panel
provides separate volume control over
main outputs and headphones.
◆ Eight channels of 24-bit ADAT lightpipe
I/O (4 channels at 96kHz) — switchable to
stereo optical S/PDIF.
◆ Stereo 24-bit / 96kHz coaxial S/PDIF I/O
◆ Dual FireWire ports – one to connect the
828mkII to your computer and a second
port to daisy-chain more devices, including
additional 828, 828mkII and 896 interfaces
without the need for a FireWire hub.
◆ The CueMix DSP mixer controls, on the
front panel,allow you to create up to four
stereo monitor mixes with 20 inputs each.
Mix to any four output pairs you wish.
Because the mixing takes place in the
828mkII itself, your computer’s processor is
free for other tasks.
◆ The backlit LCD display provides an intu-
itive interface to configure your entire sys-
tem. It even allows you to use the 828mkII
as a stand-alone mixer.
◆ Front panel signal present LEDs for the
analog, S/PDIF and optical I/O, as well as
tach, lock status and clock rate.
◆ ADAT 9-pin sync input jack allows sample
accurate audio transfers with Alesis ADATs,
or any device that supports ADAT sync
◆ MIDI I/O is provided for accessing a con-
trol surface or synth.
◆ The dedicated 1/4˝ SMPTE I/O allows the
828mkII to resolve directly to an external
analog tape deck or video source.
◆ Wo rd clock input and output (BNC) pro-
vides synchronization with a wide variety
of digital devices or a centralized word
clock source.
◆ A pedal input allows you to plug-in a
footswitch for hands-free punch-in
recording (software auto-senses pedal
polarity for easy setup
◆ A built in international power supply uses a
standard IEC cable. No noisy wall warts or
line lumps to keep track of.
Drivers
Includes drivers (ASIO, WDM,GSIF,
CoreAudio, Sound Manager) for all popu-
lar Mac and Windows audio software.
AudioDesk
AudioDesk gives you all the advanced fea-
tures you need to record,edit, mix,
process and master an audio project in
your Macintosh. It even includes MOTU’s
ground-breaking PureDSP time-stretching
and pitch-shifting technology and dozens
of real-time, 32-bit effects plug-ins.
CueMix Plus -
Monitoring Control Panel
The 828 gives you the ability to select an
input via software and mix it with the
main outputs inside the 828mkII to create
a no latency monitor mix.Because the mix
does not have to travel back to the com-
puter, the result is delay-less patch-thru.
This mix is sent out the independent
main+monitor outs and headphones.You
can adjust the patch thru volume relative
to the main mix with the convenient front
panel monitor level knob.
