The MOTU 4Pre delivers a highly capable and compact hybrid audio interface from one of the most respected names in computer recording. The MOTU 4Pre features 4 premium grade microphone preamps and comes complete with USB 2.0 and Firewire connectivity. The 4Pre also features hands-on mixing and makes the ideal live-recording interface for both studio and stage.

The 4Pre packs 4 mic inputs into an impressively small half-rack form factor, along with a healthy complement of additional professional-grade audio connections. Just think of the possibilities. You can record and mix vocals plus guitar for 2 musicians simultaneously. Or mic a drum kit with overheads and close-ups. Or record lead and background vocals in one take. The 4 inputs are not just for mics: they are combo jacks that also accept a quarter-inch plug. Inputs 1-2 take line-level signals, such as the output from a synth or keyboard. Inputs 3-4 are Hi-Z DI inputs with proper impedance for plugging in your electric guitar directly, without an amp or cabinet, to process your guitar sound through amp and cab simulation plug-ins in your host software.

The MOTU 4Pre can record and play all channels simultaneously, and high-speed USB 2.0 provides plenty of bandwidth, even at 96kHz. Thanks to MOTU's Hybrid interface technology, the 4Pre connects to any Mac or PC via FireWire or high-speed USB 2.0. Connect your mic, guitar, keyboard and digital input, and you are ready to make pro-quality recordings. The 4Pre has been engineered with MOTU's renowned, award-winning audio interface technology, which delivers the pristine audio quality and rock-solid performance that MOTU interfaces are known for worldwide. You can always record and mix with confidence, knowing that decades of engineering experience are behind you, every step of the way.
