MOTU take a different turn with the 4 Pre Hybrid, offering:

1. four, excellent, mic pre's with phantom power, 20dB pad, Digital Trim, and plenty of gain; and
   
2. dual connectivity - firewire, and USB 2.0;
3. a simplified LED display and interface;
4. two headphone monitors.

The, lightweight, alloy, chassis shrugs off the road. The hands-on interface provides full control over each channel, all monitored via the handy LED screen.
