Designed for musicians and podcasters
The MOTU 828 is a USB 3.1 audio and MIDI interface built for serious musicians, creators and podcasters. It connects to Mac, Windows and iOS devices and delivers 60 total channels of I/O with 24-channel mixing and onboard effects including reverb, 4-band EQ and compression.
Suits multi-device studios; not for minimal setups
The interface suits studios that need simultaneous connection to multiple platforms and extensive analogue and digital routing. Buyers who only need a single stereo input and output will find the 28 inputs and 32 outputs unnecessary.
Rack-ready with front-panel metering
Built-in rack ears and a sheet-steel case allow straightforward rack mounting. A 3.9" TFT display provides high-resolution metering and an improved user interface. A latching power button prevents accidental shutdown during sessions.

Questions about this item
What USB-C port specification does my computer need to run the 828 at full 5 Gbps bandwidth?
Your computer must provide a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) USB-C port; the included USB-C to USB-C cable connects directly to it for full low-latency performance.
Can I keep using my ADAT-equipped preamp and S/PDIF converter with the 828's 16-channel optical and coaxial I/O?
Yes — the 828 provides 16 ADAT channels and stereo S/PDIF in/out, so existing ADAT preamps and S/PDIF converters integrate without adapters.
How do I confirm the 828 is locked to my project's sample rate after setup?
The 3.9" TFT front-panel display shows the active sample rate up to 192 kHz and word-clock lock status, giving immediate visual confirmation.
