Steinberg MR816 X Advanced Integration DSP Studio FireWire Audio Interface description:
The Steinberg MR816 X Advanced Integration DSP Studio fuses a fully-featured FireWire interface and inbuilt DSP reverb with next-generation integrative technologies into one breathtakingly powerful production environment.
Developed by Steinberg and Yamaha, the Steinberg MR816 X Advanced Integration DSP Studio is the hardware centerpiece of a latency-free recording and monitoring environment that fully exploits the flexibility and power of Steinberg’s renowned Cubase Music Production System.
Running with Cubase, MR816 X removes any need for additional mixing software between DAW and I/O – all aspects of I/O handling, DSP management and independent performer mixes are handled directly from within Cubase itself. With the unique True Integrated Monitoring technology, Cubase manages all audio streams with perfect sync.
The MR816 X features the latest generation of Yamaha microphone preamps: The ‘D-Pre’. Meticulously engineered to the highest standards, these discrete Class A analog mic preamps feature combination XLR and TRS analog inputs for connection of 8 1/4” jack plugs or standard XLR connectors, supporting both balanced and unbalanced signals. Each D-Pre is fitted with a -26dB Pad selector as well as true 48 volt phantom power per channel.
On top of its excellent I/O capability, the MR816 X features an onboard DSP chip that runs renowned REV-X reverb, which is also featured on many top Yamaha hardware mixing consoles.
Steinberg MR816 X main features include:
- True Integrated Monitoring with full faderless mixing: no latency, DSP-powered reverb and dynamic 1:1 hardware/software mirroring with Cubase
- Complete Cubase user interface integration throughout: direct access from Cubase with no additional software mixing application or external windows required
- Eight discrete Class A analogue ‘D-Pre’ mic preamps with combination XLR and TRS analogue inputs with advanced new inverted Darlington circuits, hardware gain knob, phantom power and -26dB Pad switch per channel
- Quick Connect: next-generation of plug and play as well as on-the-fly routing of inputs to Cubase channels from the hardware with the push of a button
- DSP Power for Cubase: VST3 onboard DSP-powered REV-X reverb: also available within Cubase during mixing
- Instant setup: Cubase automatically detects the MR hardware and comes with ready made templates as well as automatic project I/O configuration
- Full, flexible connectivity: eight analogue, one ADAT, one S/PDIF and Coaxial I/O and WordClock sync
- Extendable system with daisy-chaining of up to three units providing up to 24 analogue inputs and outputs
- Includes Cubase AI4: hassle-free recording and creating music right out of the box thanks to the fully featured starter version of the world’s most popular music production software platform
