MOTU Stage-B16 Stage Box / Digital Mixer

As a stage box or audio interface for your DAW, the MOTU Stage-B16 combines ample I/O with ultra-low latency and networking capabilities via AVB Ethernet connectivity. Built-in DSP means you can add modeled analog EQ, vintage compression, and outstanding reverb to inputs and outputs while mixing up to 48 channels and 12 stereo buses. You get 16 stellar mic preamps, and you can link multiple Stage-B16s via Ethernet if you need more I/O. For studio recording on your Mac or with your iOS device, connect via USB 2.0 for high-quality audio recording up to 192kHz. While live and studio both present their own unique sets of needs, Music Bliss can confirm that the MOTU Stage-B16 AVB interface will excel in either application.
