■Audio Interface

Audio Express is an audio interface for personal studios that retains the acclaimed sound of MOTU interfaces while focusing on just the essentials: inputs and outputs and functionality. Operating as a 6-in/8-out digital mixer, Audio Express offers highly flexible monitor mixing and simple, easy volume control.

It also features software-based analyzers such as the tuner, FFT, and phase meter, renowned in other MOTU interfaces, supporting reliable sound input and output.

Simple Design and Easy Operation
Easily adjust the volume of speaker output and instrument inputs simply by turning the knobs on the Audio Express's front panel. The minimalist metering and controls allow you to focus on the music, making it easy to make precise adjustments when you need them.

Easy Mixing on Stage or in the Studio
Audio Express's CueMix DSP allows you to quickly adjust the mixing balance of microphones, guitars, keyboards, and digital inputs on stage or in the studio. Each input channel is equipped with independent gain and volume, and the input can also be sent directly to the output. The four balanced outputs, including the main, as well as the digital and headphone outputs, can each output their own individual mix balance.

Includes CueMix FX and DAW software
AudioExpress includes the CueMix DSP mixer, which operates standalone without putting a strain on your computer, as well as CueMix FX software, which analyzes input and output signals. These tools, which boast accuracy on par with dedicated measuring instruments, support more reliable sound input and output.
