Gear Highlights - New Motu Thunderbolt Interfaces

motu_0018_1248-iso-left Motu announced three superb new Thunderbolt/AVB Ethernet audio interfaces this week. With Thunderbolt and AVB Ethernet in every unit, it really moves the ball forward in terms of what you can do in the studio, on stage, and in multi-media production.

The networking capabilities, and remote control via your phone/iPad are things we've only seen in larger format consoles to date. We'll have them in stock late next week. Call to pre-order if you'd like to get one of the first units we get in stock.
