Why MOTU 828x Audio Interface Is Better
While many interfaces lock you into a single connection type, the MOTU 828x offers both Thunderbolt and USB, providing superior flexibility and longevity. Its extensive 28x30 I/O count surpasses many competitors in its class, eliminating the need for immediate expansion. The real advantage lies in MOTU's mature DSP and driver platform, which is renowned for its stability and efficiency. Unlike interfaces that rely solely on native processing, the 828x's onboard DSP guarantees latency-free monitoring with effects, a critical feature for professional tracking that others often fail to deliver as effectively.
