What's the A/D like on a 2408mk2?

Post by skan »

I want to use it as a line mixer essentially,for my hardware synths, (not enough inputs on my Metric Halo ULN-2).

MOTU SPDIF out >> ULN-2 SPDIF in.

Is the A/D decent on these?

Hey, skan.

The A/D is just fine for synth outputs.
I wouldn't use the D/A for main monitoring though, unless you have to.

The AD/DA quality is slightly dull, but pretty sweet and "gold" sounding, IMHO.

Yes, it is very decent.

Also offers 8 channels ADAT lightpipe out, if your mixer will take that.
