MOTU LP32 Audio Interface Overview:The LP32 is a flexible ADAT optical “lightpipe” audio interface, router, splitter, converter and mixer with AVB/TSN networking. It is ideal for routing optical digital audio in live performance systems, network installations or recording studios of any size.32 channels of ADAT “lightpipe” I/OThe LP32 provides four independent banks of 8-channel ADAT optical I/O, 64 channels of USB I/O, 32 channels of AVB-TSN network I/O and a headphone output, for a total of 258 simultaneous I/O channels.High-performance computer connectivityNew, optimized drivers for both Mac and PC deliver ultra-low latency performance. With a high-performance DAW such as Digital Performer, the LP32 delivers an astonishing round trip latency (RTL) of 1.70 ms (milliseconds) on OS X and 1.71 ms on Windows over USB (at 96 kHz with a 32-sample host buffer).A flexible digital converter, router, splitter and repeaterSend any input to any output, or split to multiple output channels. Convert any format to any other (Optical, AVB-TSN and USB). Includes routing to and from the computer, plus any devices on the AVB-TSN network.DSP mixing and effects processingThe LP32’s 48-input digital mixer delivers 7 stereo aux busses, 3 groups, access to 64 network inputs, and DSP effects, including classic reverb, EQ modeled after British analog console EQs and compression modeled after the legendary LA-2A compressor. If you know your way around a large-format mixing console, you’ll feel right at home. With 32-bit floating point processing, the LP32’s DSP engine delivers virtually unlimited headroom and the utmost in sound quality.Stand-alone operation with wireless controlConnect an Apple Airport or other Wi-Fi router with a standard Ethernet cable for wireless control of device settings, powerful 48-channel mixing and DSP effects.Web app controlThe software that you use to control the LP32 doesn’t reside on your hard drive. It’s a web app served from the hardware itself. This means you can control the LP32’s on-board DSP, mixing, and device settings from the web app software running in your favorite web browser on the computer, or even a tablet or smartphone on the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.Comprehensive MeteringThe full-color LCD lets you view all signal activity at a glance with detailed metering for all I/O. Access hardware settings from a simple and convenient menu.Word ClockStandard word clock input and output allows you to resolve the LP32 to other digital audio gear or house sync.Convenient headphone monitoringUse the assignable front-panel headphone output with volume control to monitor any stereo channel pair.Mix and match with other MOTU gearAn included mounting bracket kit joins the LP32 side-by-side with any other MOTU half-rack unit to create a single rack-space configuration consisting of customized analog, digital and/or MIDI I/O configuration tailored just for you.Audio analysis toolsAnalyze and scope your audio with advanced diagnostic tools, including a full-screen real-time FFT display, spectrogram “water- fall” display, full-featured oscillioscope, X-Y plot and phase analyzer.AudioDeskIncludes AudioDesk workstation software for Mac and Windows with 24-bit recording, sample-accurate editing and 32-bit mixing and masteringFeatures:32 channels of ADAT optical “lightpipe” audioFour independent banks of 8-channel ADAT optical at 44.1 or 48 kHz or 4-channel SMUX (16 channels total) at 88.2 or 96 kHz.Support for TOSLinkEach optical input or output is individually switchable to stereo TOSLink (optical S/PDIF), regardless of the current sample rate setting (from 44.1 to 96 kHz).Flexible router, converter and splitterSend any input to any output, or split to multiple output channels.
