The MOTU 24Ao delivers 24 channels of high-quality balanced analog output in a single rack space, built on the same converter design as MOTU's 1248, 8M and 16A. All 24 DC-coupled outputs are supplied on DB-25 D-sub and 12-pin Phoenix connectors with a stunning 123 dB dynamic range, supporting sample rates up to 192 kHz — ideal for multichannel monitoring, signal distribution or feeding modular synths via control voltage.
Three 8-channel banks of ADAT optical add 24 digital channels (72 total), and the 24Ao can serve as a 24-channel optical expander. It connects over class-compliant USB 2.0 or AVB Ethernet, with a 324 × 24 backlit front-panel LCD for detailed metering and menu navigation.
An onboard 48-channel DSP mixer with 12 stereo busses provides modeled British console EQ, LA-2A-style compression and classic reverb, controllable from the MOTU Pro Audio Control web app over Wi-Fi or network. Daisy-chain additional MOTU AVB interfaces over Cat-5e for a low-latency network of hundreds of channels, or run the 24Ao standalone.
