I've used this interface with Cubase and Nuendo and also as an additional ADAT interface as well as using it as a 8x8 mic preamp. The preamps sound great and can be used as a standalone mic pre or as a converter. This has a lot of flexibility for a very low cost. It's been in a rack in a studio most of the time with a few remote recordings as well.

The MR816 interfaces provide all the audio I/O connectivity needed for any audio recording situation:

·  Eight D-PRE XLR/TRS combo connectors with Class A discrete preamps with +48 V and -26 dB pad switch per channel

·  Eight analog balanced TRS outputs for separate studio performer mixes and a variety of different monitoring setups

· One Hi-Z input for electric guitar or bass

· Optical input and output port for ADAT digital audio streams or S/PDIF optical

· S/PDIF coaxial input and output

·  WordClock port

·  Two independent headphone outputs with individual level control from the front panel
· Two inserts for integration of additional hardware FX
