Accuracy: the previous message said that the I / O jacks are tight and the need to avoid hefty jacks: Neutrik I have "in large sheets" and it goes smoothly!

UTILIZATION

- Compatibility: zero interest! Install a quiet, everything worked right away!
When you read the forum was a little scared, but I thought there must be the 15 guys on this forum board can, and all others who do not show up because they do not galèrent! Good pick!

GETTING STARTED

- Stability OK
- Latency 5 ms to 48khz (it should do under 3ms 96khz)
- Console (CueMix) is correct and aesthetic
- It sounds!

Preamps: Comparison with a Universal Audio LA-610.
Micro used: C414 XLII
Listens: Dynaudio BM5-A
Headphones: Beyer DT770 Pro

After some testing voice + nylon guitar, I can tell you that the MOTU rivals him in terms of dynamics, presence, accuracy. There are many highs without there being aggressive!
Of course, the LA-610 is an all-tube, so it has its grain to it, but what struck me is that the MOTU does not sound cold next to him! The heat is present, and the sound is musical!
I was very impressed with these preamps!

Cons:
* The buttons are very small, turn the volume turn by turn!
* The period of 4 seconds to turn it off is a bit boring, but I quibble!

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for three days, so this is a hot first impression, but it is excellent!
The ratio Q / P seems to me excellent, especially because the number of I / O and especially the quality of the preamp!
