Modeled vintage effects processing
Effects include "classic" reverb, compression
modeled after the legendary Teletronix LA-2A

analog console EQs.
AVB system expansion and audio networking
AVB stands for the IEEE 802.1 Audio Video
Bridging Ethernet standard for high-bandwidth,
low-latency audio streaming over Ethernet. The
AVB Ethernet network port on the UltraLite AVB
lets you add a second AVB-equipped MOTU
interface using any standard CAT-5e Ethernet
cable. You can network up to five MOTU interfaces
together using a MOTU AVB Switch™ (sold
separately), and then run them as a stand-alone
network or as an extended bank of I/Os for your
computer-based production system (or both). You
can even connect multiple computers, each with
full access to all devices on the network (including
the other computers).
With additional standard AVB switches (from
MOTU or other brands) and standard Ethernet
cabling, you can build an extensive AVB audio
network. The entire network operates with near-
zero network latency, even over very long cable
runs. MOTU's AVB implementation allows you to
stream hundreds of audio channels among devices
and computers on the network with guaranteed
Quality of Service (QoS), prioritizing audio
streams over less important traffic.
Matrix routing and multing
The UltraLite AVB provides completely flexible
matrix-style audio routing and multing. You can
route any analog or digital input, computer
channel, or network stream to any other output,
computer, or network device. You can also mult any
single input to unlimited multiple output
destinations.

Web app control
You can control the UltraLite AVB's on-board DSP,
mixing, device settings, clock/sync settings and
network audio routing from the MOTU AVB
Control web app software running in your favorite
browser on a laptop, tablet or smart phone
connected to the UltraLite AVB directly, or through
your local Wi-Fi network. Multiple devices can be
used simultaneously to access any audio interface
settings on the network.
Stand-alone mixing with wireless control
If you connect the UltraLite AVB to an Apple
Airport or other Wi-Fi router with a standard
Ethernet cable, you can control its powerful mixing
and DSP effects from your smart phone or tablet,
without a computer — great for live sound mixing
from your iPad, tablet, or other wireless device.
ADAT digital input
The UltraLite AVB provides 8-channel optical
digital I/O. Connect outboard digital processors,
digital mixers or other gear: 8 channels at 44.1/48
kHz or 4 channels at 88.2/96 kHz. Alternately, the
optical ports can be independently configured to
support stereo TOSLink (optical S/PDIF).
MIDI I/O
The UltraLite AVB's standard MIDI IN and MIDI
OUT jacks supply 16 channels of MIDI I/O to and
from the computer through its USB connection.
Comprehensive metering
The large backlit LCD displays all signal activity at
a glance with detailed metering for all I/O. You can
access many hardware settings directly from the
front panel.
Headphone output
The UltraLite AVB front panel provides an
independent headphone jack with separate volume
control. You can program the phones to mirror
another set of outputs or act as its own
independent output.
