896 MkIII hybrid .. Hi-Z input ..

Post by suppaman73 »

Hi to all :-)
i'm a new user and I want to buy a new Motu 896 but I don't understand how many input I have, to recording to my mac book pro, for direct guitar or bass (Hi-Z). Sometimes I have to rec 2 guitars and 1 bass and I want to use with direct input to the 896, I can? Or I have limit to 1 or 2 of this input?
I prefer this connection or you can hel me to suggest a motu device with 4 Hi-Z input?

thx
(excuse for may english but I'm not english :-) )

Look into MOTU's ZBOX also. I use one with my 828mk3 on the pre inputs.

woow, i don't see it before on the motu's website, I think it's great to resolve the problem of more hi-z input on the 828mk3 and similar,
