MOTU Traveler-mk3 - FireWire Audio Interface
The Traveler-mk3 from MOTU can function as both a FireWire audio interface or stand-alone mixer, and is primarily engineered for high-end mobile recording applications. Equally suited to any other audio situation, the unit delivers 4 high quality microphone inputs, and can be powered from either a computer's FireWire bus or via optional battery packs. It also features internal DSP-driven mixing and effects processing.
As an interface or stand-alone mixer, the Traveler-mk3 provides 28 separate inputs and 30 separate outputs, including 4 combo microphone/instrument analog inputs equipped with pre-amps, individual 48V phantom power switches and Digital Precision Trim controls adjustable from the front panel or CueMix FX software. DSP effects include a 60-second reverb, 7-band parametric EQ and various flavors of compression/limiting.
- Compact, fully featured FireWire interface
- Microphone, line and digital inputs and outputs are all discrete - no channel sharing
- 4 combo jacks provide either XLR microphone input or Hi-Z 1/4" guitar input using transparent preamps with phantom power, pad and 53dB of gain per channel
- High-resolution recording with the ability to operate all analog inputs and outputs at sample rates of up to 192kHz
- 16 channels of ADAT Lightpipe, 8 channels of SMUX (96 kHz) or two pairs of stereo TOSLink with the ability to mix and match formats between the two banks
- Stereo 24-bit/96kHz AES/EBU and stereo 24-bit/96kHz S/PDIF inputs and outputs

- On board CueMix FX is a flexible 28 input/16 bus mixer with on-board DSP effects, including classic reverb with sends/returns, plus modeled EQ and vintage compression on every input and output

I am very happy. The features of on board DSP with great sounding effects and stand alone operation have me using the Traveler in more applications than my old hardware. Fits in my laptop bag so I can sneak it into work and get payed to play.
