The 24Ao is the next interface in their prestigious lineup, offering 24 analog channels in one rack space, AVB audio networking, and large console style mixing with 48 channels and 12 stereo busses to help you achieve the best sound possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 24Ao offers 24 balanced analog outputs in a single rack space with three 8-channel ADAT optical banks, for a total of 72 channels (24 analog plus 48 optical). Use the 24Ao to add analog outputs to your computer, or as a flexible optical expander and mixer, or both. All analog I\/O is supplied on multi-channel DB-245 D-sub connectors and Phoenix connectors for convenient, flexible wiring into studio and industrial installations alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Low I\/O Latency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery digital audio workflow introduces some latency. The only question is, how much? In the case of the 24Ao, the answer is not much at all. In the 24Ao, latency is measured in a handful of samples, from the time an audio single first goes digital to its arrival somewhere like an output, the mixer, or the computer. By keeping latency this low in the hardware, the 24Ao helps minimize latency introduced by your host software.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio-Class Compliant USB 2.0\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHi-speed USB 2.0 provides across-the-board compatibility with pretty much all laptops and desktops. The 24Ao is USB audio class compliant, which means you enjoy OS-level USB compatibility and support, including iPad support (with Apple camera connection kit sold separately). Since USB 2.0 devices are compatible with USB 3.0-equipped hosts, your 24Ao interface is a future-proof investment in you studio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e48-Channel Digital Mixing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 24Ao is equipped with a 48-channel digital mixer designed just like a large format mixing console. The 48 inputs can take signal from anywhere: the physical inputs on the 24Ao interface itself, audio channels from the host software on your computer, audio networking streams, or even mixer outputs. The mixer provides seven stereo aux busses, 3 groups, a reverb bus that can alternately serve as a 4th group, a Main Mix bus and a separate Monitor bus that can serve as a solo bus. In essence: comprehensive and transparent mixing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModeled Analog EQ and Compression\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBritish analog mixing consoles are renowned for their musical EQ profiles. The 24Ao meticulously models these classic EQs to give you the very same, magical EQ response found on these coveted desks. Each input channel also provides a classic compressor module with optional peak\/RMS operation. Groups and the Main Mix bus are equipped with MOTU's Leveler, an accurate model of the legendary Teletronix LA-2A optical leveling amplifier, known for its unique and highly sought-after Automatic Gain Control (AGC) characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatrix Routing and Splitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith one click on the routing grid, you can route any source signal to any destination. Sources can be analog or digital inputs on the interface, computer channels, mixer bus outputs, or audio network streams from other devices on the network. Destinations include interface outputs, host software inputs, mixer inputs, or any other device (or computer) on the AVB network. You can even split any single input (or stereo pair) to unlimited multiple output destinations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Expansion and Audio Networking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuild a network with multiple interfaces and computers using standard ABB switches and networking cable, with ultra-low network latency, even over long cable runs. Stream hundreds of audio channels among devices and computers on the network.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a nutshell, AVB audio networking gives you two important benefits: one, flexible control of your entire audio system from any web host on the same network—even Wi-Fi devices like an iPad or iPhone, and two, endless possibilities for expanding your system or constructing a customized installation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-item_content-header\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame analog design as MOTU's groundbreaking 1248, 8M and 16A audio interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e72 simultaneous audio channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 high-quality, balanced analog outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48 digital channels on three banks of 8-channel ADAT optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects to a computer with standard AVB Ethernet or audio class compliant high-speed USB 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DSP with mixing and effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32-bit floating point processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModeled vintage effects processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd up to 5 MOTU interfaces using a MOTU AVB Switch (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAVB audio networking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatrix routing and splitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb app control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandalone mixing with wireless control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADAT digital I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive metering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes AudioDesk workstation software for Mac and Windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"accordion-item_content-text -bold\"\u003e\nExpand your MOTU system, and future-proof your studio!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-item_content-header\"\u003e24Ao USB\/AVB Ethernet Audio Interface Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eSample rates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eAnalog outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 channels (balanced, DC coupled) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x DB-25 D-sub and 6x 12-pin Phoenix \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax level: +20dBu (digitally adjustable -24 to 0dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eDigital I\/O\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 banks (24 ch.) of ADAT optical at 1x sample rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 banks (12 ch.) of SMUX optical at 2x sample rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eTotal I\/O\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 analog + 48 digital (72 total) at 1x rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 analog + 24 digital (48 total) at 2x rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 analog + 0 digital (24 total) at 4x rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eComputer I\/O\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x USB 2.0 audio class compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.0 and iOS compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x AVB Ethernet (requires OS X Yosemite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eSync I\/O\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x word clock in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x word clock out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eFront panel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 x switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMenu navigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e324 x 24 pixel LCD for level meters \/ menu nav\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x AC power switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational 100–240V autoswitching supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50–60Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5A max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eSystem Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMac\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1GHz Intel-based Mac or faster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2GB RAM;
