Great Value with very pleasant sound
Anonymous 11.09.2015
I bought one of these for a location recording rig.

We connect it to our MOTU 828 via ADAT and all syncs very easily.

The sound quality is very high and reminds me of other MOTU gear in that it has a nice warm but still detailed sound. There is warmth and clarity without the harshness that I have heard in some other cheaper preamps/converters.

Comparing this with the RME Octamic we use in our studio, the Motu stands up extremely well and I would have not problem using this place of the excellent Octacmic.

The build quality is very good, the only weak point being the gain knobs are not as robust as the RME.

Motu 8 Pre USB excellent interface for home studio
Mark7232 19.10.2021
I was looking for an interface for my home studio and chose the Motu 8 pre mainly for the amount of in and outs and the sound quality. The USB is super quick and no different in performance than my old Focusrite FireWire unit. I’m very happy to recommend this interface for quality and ease of use. The software that comes with it needs a little time getting used to but half hour working through it and your good to go.
