Fantastic sound quality and exceptional routing versatilityOne reason the MOTU 828 series has been so popular and well loved is the fact that these interfaces sound incredible, while remaining extraordinarily versatile.

You can also use the MOTU 828x as a standalone mixer, using the onboard DSP to route signals the way you please. Great-sounding DSP effects won't tax your computerThe built-in DSP in the MOTU 828x doesn't just power its flexible mixer. You also get built-in EQ, compression, and reverb effects that are powered by DSP. That way, you can give your artist a lush headphone mix, without tapping into any of your computer's CPU power you need for recording. You can also record those effects, so it's like having top-notch plug-ins without the CPU strain! All of the DSP mixing and effects are controlled by the included CueMix FX software.
