MOTU AVB Series
One engine, three interfaces, one network — the shared architecture that lets a studio grow a room at a time, without re-buying its core.
Every studio starts with one room and one interface. The moment a second room enters the picture, most setups start compromising — mismatched converters, clocking errors, monitor controllers bought late. The MOTU AVB Series solves this differently: three interfaces, one identical engine, one identical price.
The Shared Engine
Identical in all three chassis — only the front panel changes.
ESS Sabre32 Ultra Conversion
Common to 10pre, 16A & 848
- 64-input, 32-bus CueMix Pro mixer
- 32-bit floating point DSP
- ~1.8ms round-trip latency
- Thunderbolt 4 / USB4, up to 256 channels
Three Interfaces
Same engine, three jobs — choose the front panel your room needs.
