Thunderbolt / AVB / USB audio interface and routing matrix with 112 channels of digital I/O, MADI, 48-channel mixing and AVB networking

The D112 from MOTU is a digital audio interface, router, format converter, and stand-alone mixer offering 224 channels of simultaneous inputs and outputs with Thunderbolt, AVB Ethernet, and USB connectivity. The 1U 19" rackmountable device features 24 channels of AES/EBU I/O and 24 channels of ADAT optical I/O, plus 64 channels of MADI I/O. Additional I/O can be added to the system through AVB networking.

112 Simultaneous Digital Audio Channels
24 channels of AES/EBU, plus 24 channels of ADAT optical, plus 64 channels of MADI, for 112 total channels digital audio I/O. All input and output channels can be active simultaneously

64 Channels of MADI
Serves as a 64-channel MADI interface, router and converter with near-zero latency and flexible routing and splitting to/from the AVB network, computer, AES/EBU and optical. Supports 56-channel mode, 32-channel mode and 1x/2x/4x clock modes

24 Channels of AES/EBU and ADAT Optical Up to 96 kHz
Three 8-channel (D-sub) banks of AES/EBU at sample rates up to 96 kHz. Three 8-channel banks of ADAT optical at rates up to 48 kHz; six banks of ADAT at 2x sample rates (24 channels)

Flexible Routing, Splitting and Format Conversion
Send any input to any output, or multiple outputs. Includes routing to and from the computer, plus any devices on the AVB network. Convert any format to any other

Universal Connectivity
Connects to computer with Thunderbolt or high-speed USB 2.0 (compatible with USB 3.0) with class-compliant firmware and industry standard drivers to work with any audio software

On-Board DSP With Mixing And Effects
Provides flexible 48-input digital mixer modeled after large format mixing consoles with 12 stereo busses and DSP effects including reverb, 4-band EQ, gate, and compression

32-Bit Floating Point Processing
Provides ample headroom for mixing and effects DSP

Modeled Vintage Effects Processing
Provides classic reverb, compression modeled after historic LA-2A compressor, and EQ modeled after analog console EQs

System Expansion and Audio Networking
Allows you to add a 2nd MOTU AVB interface (1248, 8M, or 16A) with a Cat-5e or Cat-6 Ethernet cable and up to five devices using a MOTU AVB Switch (sold separately). Multiple interfaces can be networked together with over 100 meter cable runs to stream audio between devices and computers on the network

Matrix Routing and Splitting
Provides flexible digital matrix routing and splitting for any analog or digital input, computer channel or network stream to any computer, output, or network devices. A single input can be split to multiple output destinations

256 Channels of Network Audio I/O To Host Computer
Allows monitoring and recording of up to 128 network audio channels in and 128 network channels out through a Thunderbolt connection to a host computer

Web App Control
Controls on-board DSP, mixing, device settings, and network audio routing from web app software running in a web browser on a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone connected by a wire or Wi-Fi to your local area network

Stand-alone Mixing With Wireless Control
Allows you to connect an Apple Airport or other Wi-Fi router directly to the audio interface with a standard Ethernet cable and control the device's mixing and DSP effects from a smartphone or tablet, without a computer such as in live sound mixing applications

Comprehensive Metering
Features large backlit 324 x 24 LCD that allows you to view all signal activity at a glance with detailed metering of analog and digital I/O, as well as access to hardware settings from font panel GUI

AudioDesk
Includes AudioDesk workstation software for Mac and Windows with 24-bit recording, sample-accurate editing and 32-bit mixing and mastering
