MK 2 2408

Post by Scott Luna »

Hello. Is there a way to use my MK2 2408 with a Mac mini. Is there any adapter available to go from the motu to the Mac mini without the pci card?
Thanks

No. It must have a Mac or PC with a PCI, PCIx or PCIe chassis for the 424 card. There is no way for it to work otherwise and there is no Thunderbolt to PCIe solution that works, either.

It can be used in standalone mode as a format converter such as Analog to ADAT or Tascam (8 channels) or ADAT to Tascam (24 channels) or vise versa.
