Motu mischt den Markt der Audiointerface Mittelklasse auf: das neue Audio Express 6×6 Interface bietet simple Einbindung und Handhabung für kleine Homestudiosetups, on the road Produktionen oder Live. Hier die Specs:

  • 6-input, 6-output audio interface for Mac and Windows.
  • 6 x 8 physical input/output channels — all channels are available simultaneously and operate independently.
  • Hybrid FireWire/USB 2.0 connectivity — connect to your Mac or PC via either bus-powered Firewire or hi-speed USB2.
  • 8-bus digital mixer — routes and mixes all six inputs to any output pair.
  • Four separate mixes — each output pair (main outs, line outs, S/PDIF out, and phones) can have a completely different mix of all six inputs, with or without computer tracks.
  • Two mic/guitar combo jacks — provide hi-Z 1/4” guitar input or XLR mic input with phantom power, 20 dB pad, Precision Digital Trim™, and plenty of gain.
  • Stereo analog inputs — on line-level, balanced TRS quarter-inch jacks. Great for keyboards or other line level-input signals.
  • Stereo main outs — on balanced TRS quarter-inch jacks. Connect directly to powered speakers (or other line-level analog destination).
  • Stereo 24-bit 96kHz S/PDIF digital in/out.
  • Stereo headphone output on quarter-inch jack with independent volume control.
  • Precision Digital Trim™ — digitally controlled analog trim on all inputs provides adjustments in approximately 1 dB increments. Fine-tune the balance of your inputs and then save/recall trim configurations.
  • Includes native 32- and 64-bit drivers for Mac OS X and Windows 7/Vista
  • Bus-powered FireWire operation
  • Chassis dimensions, excluding rack ears and front and back panel knobs and connectors: 9.5 x 7 x 1.75 inches (24.13 x 17.78 x 4.45 cm). Knobs and connectors extend up to 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) from front and back panels, adding 1 inch (2.54 cm) to depth.
  • With rack ears attached, fits one half of a standard 19 inch (48.26 cm) rack at 1U high.

Mir gefällt der direkte Zugriff auf die Eingangslautstärke sehr, was das Gerät für schnelle Mixsituationen im Proberaum oder bei Gigs geeignet macht. Auch die Hybridtechnologie, mit der das Interface sowohl an USB 2.0 als auch an Firewire Ports betrieben werden kann, erhöht die Einsatzmöglichkeiten beträchtlich. Preis, Erhältlichkeit und weitere Informationen findet ihr im Shop.
