Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) 896HD FireWire Audio Interface (Macintosh and Windows) Reviews

Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) 896HD FireWire Audio Interface (Macintosh and Windows) Sample Review

Feature:
Good mixing and routing features, with nice software controls.

Quality:
All good except the preamps, and the input trims are not linear.

Value:
This unit would be a 10 if they would use respectable preamps.

Sound:
Very clean, full sound with 4 tracks at 192kHz. Haven't tried it with any more than 4 inputs. The downside: according to MOTU tech support, the preamps offer only 46dB gain, and according to my ears, the last 20dB of it is noisy. Like, carwash noisy. If you're doing anything quiet with fancy mics, you will not be able to use these preamps.

Ease of Use:
Plug & play.

Support:
MOTU is notorious for being disorganized and slow to respond, and that has been my experience with them.

Overall:
I've added a Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro for one reason: preamps. The mixer has no value in my setup, but I had to fork out the extra $300 because the 896HD preamps are not good enough for studio recording.
