Description

MOTU 10pre - Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 Audio Interface with DSP

The MOTU 10pre is a professional-grade 24-bit/192 kHz Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 audio interface designed for modern music production and live performance. Delivering world-class sound quality, ultra-low latency, and advanced DSP mixing, it offers seamless connectivity and control for Mac, PC, and iOS users.

Studio-Grade Audio and Performance

With ten XLR/TRS combo inputs, eight TRS outputs, dual headphone outs, and optical I/O, the 10pre provides 26 inputs and 28 outputs in total. ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology ensures crystal-clear sound with 118 dB dynamic range and -114 dB THD+N. It achieves sub-2 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz, making it ideal for high-performance recording and monitoring.

Flexible Connectivity and Networking

Equipped with dual Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 ports, the 10pre supports up to 128 audio channels in and out via AVB networking. You can daisy-chain multiple units or integrate with other MOTU AVB devices. Use the included 40 Gbps USB-C cable for universal connection to Mac, PC, or iOS, ensuring full compatibility and class-compliant operation.

Advanced DSP Mixing and Control

The onboard 32-bit floating-point DSP powers a 64-channel mixer with 32 buses, reverb, EQ, compression, gating, and high-pass filters. Control all functions using the CueMix Pro app via Wi-Fi from your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Loopback channels make streaming and podcasting simple, while talkback and A/B/C speaker switching support professional monitoring workflows.

Built for Studio and Stage

Housed in a rugged steel 1U rack, the 10pre is engineered for reliability and portability. Use it as an audio interface, mixer, or standalone unit with full DSP control. The 3.9-inch colour LCD provides precise metering for every input and output, keeping your levels under control at a glance.
