Can I use the 24I/O without a computer?
The 24I/O is designed as a computer interface and requires a computer with the PCIe interface card to operate. It cannot be used standalone.
What type of cables do I need for analog connections?
The analog I/O is on DB-25 connectors. You need DB-25 to XLR or DB-25 to TRS breakout snakes for balanced connections. Use Tascam pinout standard.

Why is my 24I/O not recognized by my computer?
First, check that the PCIe card is properly seated. Ensure the cable between card and interface is secure. Reinstall the latest drivers. If using Windows, check Device Manager for conflicts. Contact MOTU support if the issue persists.
Can I daisy-chain multiple 24I/O units?
Yes, the 24I/O supports daisy-chaining via its PCIe expansion port. Connect additional units using the expansion cable. Each unit requires its own PCIe card installed in the computer.
What is the latency performance of the 24I/O?
The 24I/O offers ultra-low latency, typically 1.7 ms round trip at 96 kHz with a 32-sample buffer, making it suitable for real-time monitoring.
How do I clean and maintain my 24I/O?
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquids or solvents. Vacuum ventilation grills periodically to prevent dust buildup. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity.
