Motu IIc
Product no: 9000-0022-0279 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The MicroBook IIc gives you everything you need to make world-class recordings. It features inputs that can capture vocals and guitar/keyboards, or any other line-level instrument, simultaneously. What's more, it boasts a microphone preamp that produces a pure, neutral sound with a -20dB switch and + 48V phantom power, which is required for condenser mics. Furthermore, the MicroBook is an 8-bus digital mixer that's great for live applications and doesn't require 'host' software tracks. With the included CueMix FX software, you can easily make separate mixes of live audio and send them through an individual output;direct output, line-out and headphone output,or a combination of the three.

MicroBook IIc: studio-quality audio

The MicroBook IIc was developed with Motu's well-known, award-winning audio interface technology that has always guaranteed excellent audio quality and stable operation. In other words, you can always rely on Motu for your recording or mix. Also, you'll find the MicroBook IIc audio possesses the same specifications as products that are in a much higher price category. The two digital rotating encoders don't only look good, they feel good too. Press the volume button a few times and you'll be able to scroll through the headphone and other main outputs as shown by the active LEDs.

USB audio class compliant

What distinguishes this MicroBook IIc from the previous generation interfaces is that it is now USB audio class compliant. That means you can connect it to any iPhone, iPad or other iOS device (by means of a USB camera connection kit, which is sold separately). What's more, the MicroBook is provided with power as soon as it's connected to your computer or device. A micro-USB cable is included as well as an AC adapter. The MicroBook IIc's housing is made of aluminium alloy and feels sturdy and robust, which is refreshing, considering how many interfaces are made of plastic. You can rely on the MicroBook's quality both inside and out in just about any situation.

Wrote the following about Motu IIc

Hallo,
De bouwkwaliteit is erg goed te noemen, zeker voor het geld, de knoppen zijn qua werking nogal onduidelijk, dat zou makkelijker zijn. Ik wil nu de andere goedkope motu's met schermpje erop(weet de naam even niet), maar ik heb geen zin om te wachten, maar deze moet , de revieuws gelovende' een betere.

Werkt niet zo plug n play als je zou verwachten.
