MOTU Traveler-mk3 Mobile Audio Interface with Effects & Mixing

MOTU Traveler-mk3 PRODUCT FEATURES:

Sturdy lightweight construction
ready to travel with you anywhere.

Compact size (14.75 × 9 inches)
fits easily into a napsack, briefcase or computer bag and sits perfectly under any laptop.

Powered by computer*
no additional power supply necessary for complete recording freedom.

Optional battery power
standard field battery pack (sold separately) can be used for extended remote recording sessions and stand-alone operation as a complete digital mixer.

28 inputs / 30 outputs (at 44.1/48 kHz)
There's no channel sharing in the Traveler-mk3. Mic inputs, TRS analog, AES/EBU, RCA S/PDIF and phones are all handled as separate channels.
Four combo jacks provide hi-Z 1/4” guitar input or low-Z XLR mic input with transparent preamps, phantom power, pad and plenty of gain.
Four 24-bit 192kHz analog inputs and eight analog outputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS jacks.

Clip protection
Mic/guitar input limiter prevents digital clipping and distortion from overloaded signal levels up to +12 dB over zero.

Individual 48V phantom power on each mic input
mix and match microphones.

Digital Precision Trim™
adjust input gain in 1dB increments on all analog inputs (mic/guitar inputs + quarter-inch TRS inputs). Fine-tune the balance of your analog inputs. Save and recall multiple trim setups.

High-resolution recording
The Traveler-mk3 can operate all analog I/O at sample rates up to 192kHz.

Comprehensive level metering
Front panel LCD provides vertical meters for entire banks (8 channels at once) or horizontal long-throw metering for individual channels. Meter banks are quickly accessible via the dedicated METERS rotary encoder on the front panel.

A 28 input by 16 bus digital mixer with effects
Operating as either a computer interface or stand-alone, the Traveler-mk3 provides DSP-driven digital mixing with effects processing (reverb, EQ and compression) for all 28 inputs. You can connect all your gear and then mix, process and monitor everything from the Traveler-mk3’s main outs or headphone jacks.

Includes AudioDesk 4
A full-featured sample-accurate workstation software for the Mac and Windows with recording, editing, mixing, real-time 32-bit effects processing & sample-accurate sync.

*Bus power requires a non-adapted 6-pin FireWire port

* The phone jack can operate as an independent output pair, or it can mirror any other Traveler-mk3 output pair, such as the main outs (analog 1-2).

† The two optical banks provide 16 channels of ADAT optical at 48 kHz, 8 channels of S/MUX optical I/O at 96 kHz or two banks of stereo TOSLink at rates up to 96 kHz. The banks operate independently, allowing you to mix and match any optical formats.
