Product Details
The 8M hybrid Thunderbolt/USB 2.0 audio interface continues a tradition of high-quality audio that many of us have come to expect. With a mere -110dB THD+N of self noise, this 8M's offers you some of the cleanest audio around. Eight amazingly transparent microphone preamps include MOTU's V-Limit protection, which offers a 9dB buffer to prevent digital clipping.

To go with this impressive selection of high-quality I/O, MOTU gave the 8M ultra-fast Thunderbolt connectivity (in addition to USB 2.0), so you get epically low system latency too.
