Product Description

MOTU Traveller Mk 3 Firewire Interface

The Traveler-mk3 is MOTU's most advanced FireWire audio interface. Once again it raises the bar with innovative new features, enhanced standard features that remain unique, superb sound and reliable performance.

Engineered for high-end mobile recording applications, the Traveler-mk3 delivers four very high quality mic inputs, bus power, optional battery power and DSP-driven mixing and effects processing.

The Traveler-mk3 provides eight channels of pristine 192 kHz analog recording and playback, combined with twenty channels of digital I/O in ADAT optical, AES/EBU and S/PDIF formats. Expand your system by connecting additional MOTU FireWire audio interfaces or the 8pre mic input expander.

The Traveler-mk3 is equally well-suited for studio, stage and remote locations, with or without a computer. As an interface or stand-alone mixer, the Traveler-mk3 provides 28 separate inputs and 30 separate outputs, including four XLR/quarter-inch "combo" mic/instrument analog inputs equipped with pre-amps, individual 48V phantom power switches and Digital Precision Trim; controls conveniently adjusted from the front panel or CueMix FX; software.

Features

  • Sturdy lightweight construction - ready to travel with you anywhere.
  • Compact size (14.75 x 9 inches) - fits easily into a napsack, briefcase or computer bag and sits perfectly under any laptop.
  • Powered by computer* - no additional power supply necessary for complete recording freedom.
  • Optional battery power - standard field battery pack (sold separately) can be used for extended remote recording sessions and stand-alone operation as a complete digital mixer.
  • 28 inputs / 30 outputs (at 44.1/48 kHz) - there's no channel sharing in the Traveler-mk3. Mic inputs, TRS analog, AES/EBU, RCA S/PDIF and phones are all handled as separate channels.
  • Four combo jacks provide hi-Z 1/4" guitar input or low-Z XLR mic input with transparent preamps, phantom power, pad and plenty of gain.
  • Clip protection - Mic/guitar input limiter prevents digital clipping and distortion from overloaded signal levels up to +12 dB over zero.
  • Individual 48V phantom power on each mic input - mix and match microphones.
  • Four 24-bit 192kHz analog inputs and eight analog outputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS jacks.
  • Digital Precision Trim; - adjust input gain in 1dB increments on all analog inputs (mic/guitar inputs + quarter-inch TRS inputs). Fine-tune the balance of your analog inputs. Save and recall multiple trim setups.
  • High-resolution recording - The Traveler-mk3 can operate all analog I/O at sample rates up to 192kHz.
  • Flexible optical I/O - 16 channels of ADAT lightpipe, 8 channels of SMUX (96 kHz) or two pairs of stereo TOSLink. Mix and match formats between the two banks.
  • CueMix FX; - flexible 28 input/16 bus mixer with on-board DSP effects, including classic reverb with sends/returns, plus modeled EQ and vintage compression on every input and output.
  • Multiple CueMix FX mixes - for example, create different monitor mixes for the main outs and headphones. Or add send/return loops for outboard gear with no latency.
  • Advanced audio signal analysis - CueMix FX software provides real-time FFT and spectrogram "waterfall" displays for visual analysis of individual signals and entire mixes.
  • Front-panel control - access your entire mix, or any Traveler-mk3 setting, directly from the front panel.
  • Stand-alone operation - program your mixes at the studio and then bring the Traveler-mk3 to your gig - no computer needed. Just plug in the included DC power adapter. Tweak settings using the back-lit LCD.
  • Sample-accurate MIDI - connect a MIDI controller and/or sound module with no separate interface needed. MIDI I/O is sample-accurate with supporting software.
  • Expandable - add additional interfaces for more I/O as your needs grow.
  • Compatible with the 8pre mic input expander - connect the 8pre via optical for 8 more mic inputs at sample rates up to 96 kHz fully integrated into the Traveler-mk3's CueMix FX mixing environment.
  • Eight 24-bit 192kHz outputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS jacks.
  • Phone jack with front panel volume control.
  • Stereo 24-bit 96kHz AES/EBU in/out.
  • Stereo 24-bit 96kHz S/PDIF in/out.
  • Word clock in and out.
  • Built-in SMPTE time code sync - resolves to and generates time code. Allows you to directly resolve Digital Performer, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo and other compatible host software to time code with no additional synchronizer needed.
  • Plug-and-play operation with your Mac or PC via FireWire.
  • Includes drivers for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista, including ASIO, WDM, Core Audio, and Core MIDI.
  • Supports all popular Mac and Windows audio software.

  • Includes AudioDesk 3 full-featured sample-accurate workstation software for the Mac OS X with recording, editing, mixing, real-time 32-bit effects processing & sample-accurate sync.
  • Plug-and-play operation with your Mac or PC via FireWire - Two FireWire 400 ports allow for daisy-chaining without a hub. Works with a FireWire 800 connection via a simple adapter or FW400-to-800 cable.
  • Front panel volume control for monitoring. Stereo, Quad, 5.1, 7.1 and user-defined surround monitoring setups available.
  • Front panel meters or activity LEDs for all analog, digital and MIDI I/O, plus SMPTE sync, tach and lock LEDs.
