Thunderbolt's enormous bandwidth allows you to connect monitors, hard disks, and other peripherals to your computer, as well as the 828x, for a total of up to six devices (with the 828x at the end of the chain), and the Thunderbolt bus won't even break a sweat. Thunderbolt delivers on the promise of a genuinely cutting-edge connection standard for personal computers.

A license for AudioDesk 3 digital workstation software for Mac OS X is included with the interface. An iPad and TouchOSC software may be used to control the mixer remotely (sold separately). The interface also contains a chromatic tuner and audio analysis features, including a Fast Fourier Transform function, spectrogram, and X-Y phase alignment map. Then, utilizing the professional on-board CueMix FX digital mixer, they can all be recorded, monitored, routed, and processed with little latency and CPU load on the computer. Most studio drum machines, keyboards, gear, including microphones, guitars, synthesizers, and effects processors, may be connected through extra eight balanced analog inputs. Each microphone input also includes a back panel to insert outboard gear before the analog to digital conversion. Each microphone input has a 20 dB pad and independently switchable 48V phantom power. MOTU's Soft Clip feature provides additional security. Two front-panel microphone/guitar inputs have high-quality preamps as well as an overload protection V-Limit hardware limiter. The interface is equally appropriate for the studio and the stage, and it can also work as a standalone mixer without a computer connection, including effects such as reverb, EQ, and traditional compression. The interface has eight 192 kHz analog recording and playback channels, 16 ADAT optical digital I/O (8 channels at 96 kHz) channels, stereo S/PDIF, MIDI I/O, word clock, two headphone connectors, and stereo XLR main outs. Up to six Thunderbolt devices, such as monitors and hard drives, can be daisy-chained together, with the audio interface at the end of the chain.
