Reviews for Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) Traveler Portable Firewire Audio Interface

Feature:
Every in/out standard you can immagine in all bit/sampling rates. A true swiss army knife. The minor drawback is that you can't use ADAT and S/PDIF at the same time, since they share the optical ports. Also coax and optic S/PDIF are not independent. The side jacks for MIDI and power are hard to reach if the unit is mounted in a rack. The unit is for sure a MAC design, since you can not use it on PC Laptop without an additional power adapter. This is a big minus, especially since MOTU promotes this feature as a main one. Carefully when you buy the adapter: The manual says it will work with 9, 12 and 18 volts, but I found out that it works fine just on 12V. Also the provided recording software is MAC only.

Quality:
It is enclosed in a metal chasis but the front has somehow plastic feeling.

Value:
With its 850$ is somehow pricey compared to others, but it also provides that extra features that others don't have.

Desirability:
If you don't need all that connectors and standards look for a cheaper unit with less jacks.

Sound:
Excellent sound from all the outputs.

Support:
I had some issues with early drivers. The MOTU guys replied me and offered me beta drivers, which now work fine.

Overall:
An excellent unit with MOTU quality aspecially for MAC users.
