Hi

*EDIT* Put this up a few weeks ago with little interest. Price has now been reduced by 30 quid.

I have for sale a MOTU 828 audio interface. It is around 4 years old and in good working order. It features 8 Inputs and 8 Outputs along with Firewire connection to PC/Mac. It has no scratches although some of the writing has rubbed off around the master volume knob. Other than that it works perfectly. It comes with Firewire cable and power lead.

Looking for 150 ono.

Some technical blurb:

8 channels of 24-bit analog in/out - all eight outputs and six of the inputs are on balanced/unbalanced TRS connectors with 24-bit converters. Two additional inputs are on Neutrik™ combo (XLR/TRS) connectors each equipped with a microphone pre-amp. 48 volt phantom power can be supplied to the mic pre-amps via a front panel toggle switch. All analog inputs have 40dB of trim provided by a front-panel trim knob. The signal-to-noise ratio for the inputs is 105dB.
8 channels of ADAT optical digital in/out switchable to optical S/PDIF (TOSLink) - The optical input and output can be individually switchable between the 8-channel ADAT format and stereo optical S/PDIF (TOSLink).
Main analog outputs - these two extra TRS outputs can be connected directly to a pair of speakers. A front panel volume knob is provided for convenient hands-on volume control of the main outs. The main outputs mirror the signal on outputs 1 and 2. In addition, they sum these signals with up to two channels of live input from any pair of analog inputs via the 828's zero-latency monitoring bus. The user chooses any two analog inputs (via software) as the monitor inputs. A separate knob is provided on the front panel for convenient hands-on adjustment of the live input level, relative to the main mix.
RCA S/PDIF digital in/out - provides industry standard S/PDIF digital I/O.
ADAT sync input - allows sample-accurate digital transfers with ADATs or any other device that supports ADAT SYNC. The ADAT Sync port also allows the 828 to be synchronized with any external clock source. For example, with a MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV-USB interface and synchronizer, the MOTU 828 audio interface can be resolved to SMPTE time code, word clock, blackburst or video.
Punch in/out - this quarter-inch input connects to any standard foot switch for hands-free punch-in and punch-out during recording.
1394 FireWire connector - connects the 828 to the FireWire port on any computer via a standard FireWire cable.
IEC power receptacle - the 828 has an internal power supply with a convenient external switch for either 115V or 230V operation.

Front panel volume control, trim, phantom power and indicator lights
The MOTU 828 front panel has the following features:

Quarter-inch headphone output
Main volume knob - controls both the headphone out and the main outputs (including the monitored live inputs, if any).
Monitor level knob - controls the volume of any two analog inputs being monitored on the main outs, if any.
Five input gain trim knobs - inputs 1 and 2 (equipped with mic preamps) have individual input trim knobs. Input pairs 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8 have one trim knob per pair. Each knob provides 40dB of input gain.
48 volt switch - provides phantom power to the mic preamps on inputs 1 and 2.
Analog activity lights - glow red when signal is detected on an input or green when signal is present on an output.
Status lights - Indicate audio activity on the RCA S/PDIF in/out connectors and ADAT optical connectors. Also indicate either 44.1 or 48kHz operation.
Power switch

MOTU 828 users can connect a pair of speakers directly to the quarter-inch main outs. In addition, they can choose, via software, any two analog inputs for monitoring via the main outs. On the front panel, the main volume knob controls the entire mix, while a separate monitor level knob lets users adjust the monitored input level relative to the main mix. The CueMix™ Plus monitoring path is handled entirely in the 828 hardware itself; it is not passed to the computer before being routed to the main outs. Therefore, there is no latency in the monitored signal. At their option, users can also route the input to the computer for simultaneous effects processing, mixing the dry monitored signal with reverb, guitar distortion, or other effects on the computer. By combining the two signals in this manner, the user can eliminate audible delay in the processed audio from the computer. When playing back disk tracks on the computer, full effects processing can be used with absolutely no latency, regardless of the host audio software being used.

Thanks for looking and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
