MOTU Audio Interface Model 2408 Mk1
The Motu Mk1, it's easily one of the best-in-class audio interfaces under $300. The conversion is top-notch, the LED metering is a nice touch you don't often see on affordable interfaces, and I/O is more than enough for most project studios…
The 1st image listed above is my unit. The rest are for descriptive purposes. Again, mine is the 1st image only.
The 2408 FW is an awesome device!! As the pictures show, it has all the connections for hooking up DAT machines. Comes with power cord.

Note:

This has an "audio wire" connection, which is a special format developed by MOTU for their equipment only. It needs to be connected to the PCI or PCie card made by MOTU. It does use a firewire cable between the card and the interface, but it is NOT the firewire format usually used by computers.

  • Are MOTU interfaces good? 
    Recording quality 4.5

    For this price point, the Motu M1 offers one of the best performances in terms of recording quality. The DAC is quite good, and the unit handles latency incredibly well. The audio resolution goes up to 192 kHz, and the unit is quoted as having a 120 dB dynamic range.
