MOTU Audio Express | 6x6 Half Rack Hybrid FireWire USB2 Audio Interface

The MOTU Audio Express is a versatile 6x6 half rack hybrid FireWire/USB 2.0 audio interface, ideal for both studio recording and live performance mixing. Designed for personal studios, this audio interface ensures studio-grade sound quality, offering MIDI connectivity and hands-on mixing capabilities. With its hybrid connectivity, you can easily hook it up to your Mac or PC using either FireWire or USB 2.0, delivering seamless integration and flexibility for all your recording needs.

One of the standout features of the Audio Express is its advanced control panel, allowing for front-panel control of four stereo mix busses. This enables you to manage multiple mixes on the fly, whether you're on stage or in the studio. Digitally controlled analog trim, DDS audio clocking for low jitter performance, and an integrated instrument tuner are just a few of the advanced features that set the Audio Express apart from its competitors.

Furthermore, the Audio Express stands out with its robust standalone operation capability. Simply plug it into the included power adapter, and you're ready to go, no computer necessary. This makes it an excellent choice for musicians on the move. The front-panel knobs make tweaking mixes straightforward, providing immediate and practical control over your sound. Expandability, DSP-driven phase lock engine, and sample-accurate MIDI support make this unit a key component of any serious music production setup.
