Im selling a Motu 896 Firewire interface.... This is one cool piece of recording gear, unfortunatley I don't do enough recording anymore to justify keeping it. It actually is unfortunatley barely used.

I paid over $2000 for it a year and a half ago and Im asking $1000 for it now. I have everything including the original packaging. Unfortunatley being the first owner, im the one suffering the depreciation...

Contact me at [email protected] for any questions about it.... but its sweet, the mic preamps are really clear and it is so functional for a computer based recording studio.

THE FOLLOWING IS COPIED FROM AN AD. DON'T WORRY ABOUT READING IT IF YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS.....

The 896 gives you the ability to select a mono or stereo input via software and mix it with the main outputs inside the 896 to create a no latency monitor mix. Because the mix does not have to travel back to the computer, the result is delay-less patch-thru. This mix is sent out the main outs and headphones. You can adjust the patch thru volume relative to the main mix with the convenient front panel monitor level knob.
