Superb sound with ultra-low latency

The OctaLite provides flexible and mobile USB2 audio connectivity to your computer with ultra-low latency and superb analog quality at sample rates up to 192 kHz. You get all the I/O you need, including eight combo XLR/TRS mic/line/hi-Z guitar inputs, two balanced quarter-inch analog outputs (monitor L-R), 8-channel optical I/O (with support for 2-channel TOSLink), an extra optical output for SMUX channels 5-8 at 88.2 or 96 kHz, and a headphone output.

Built for studio and stage

Housed in a compact, sturdy enclosure you can take anywhere, the OctaLite is equally well-suited for studio and stage, with or without a computer. As an interface or standalone mixer, the OctaLite provides 16 inputs and 12 outputs, for a total of 28 I/O channels when operating at 44.1 or 48 kHz.

All the I/O you need

Connect all of your audio gear, including speakers, headphones, mics, guitars, synths and keyboards.

On-board mixing

Record, monitor, route and process all live inputs using the on-board multi-bus mixer, with ultra-low latency and no processor strain on your computer. Create a separate, unique monitor mix for the headphones and monitor outputs. Three additional virtual mixes are provided for in-the-box mixing and routing. 

DSP-driven effects processing

Apply hardware-based, DSP-driven effects processing to your mix, independent of your host computer, including reverb, 4-band parametric EQ, compression and gating.

Advanced extras

Use “loopback” USB channels to mix live inputs with computer output for live streaming and podcasting.

Mobile recording and mixing

After recording and mixing in the studio, take the OctaLite on the road with your laptop for mobile recording and live mixing.

Optical expansion

Use the OctaLite as an optical expander to add eight mic/line/instrument inputs to a MOTU UltraLite-mk5 (or other audio interface) with a single optical cable.
