Say 8 500 series preamp modules?** A: Regarding inputs, MOTU: "These XLR/TRS combo jacks accept either a mic cable or a quarter-inch guitar cable. Both the low-impedance XLR jack and the high-impedance TRS jack are equipped with a preamp (so don't connect a +4 line level XLR cable!) 48V phantom power and 20 dB pad can be applied via the switches provided on the front panel. The trim knob provides over 60 dB of gain." **Q: this interface works only with Mac? anyone can tell me if it is possible to work under windows 7 environment** A: To my knowledge, this device is USB 2.0 and Firewire compatible, e.g. O.S. does not matter. It will work w/ Mac and Win 7. The big issue is not operating system compatibility. The two main issues are USB 2.0 vs. Firewire I/O availability, and DAW I/F compatibility. You have to have some sort of compatible DAW software loaded on Win7 for it to recognize all MOTU functions, etc. Mac has a decent DAW built-in, "garage band". I use Cakewalk-SONAR Pro Audio for Win7 but there are several others out there. ProTools is a very popular MAC DAW S/W package. MOTU has its own DAW software that can be purchased, along w/ other sounds, synths, virtual instruments, etc. I think that the MOTU s/w is only MAC compatible but not the h/w. I do know that the MOTU hardware drivers load into W7 just fine. I haven't had time to completely evaluate my MOTU Audio I/F; but, I do plan to see how well it works w/ both platforms (MAC and W7). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/4488496-motu-896mk3-hybrid-usb-firewire-audio-interface](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/4488496-motu-896mk3-hybrid-usb-firewire-audio-interface) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
