Audio Interfaces

Everything you need to know to get your DAW talking to your modular system via your audio interface.

MOTU's debut entry-level interfaces offer professional performance at a cut-down price.

MOTU’s 828 series has been a valuable studio workhorse for nearly two decades, and the latest is the best one yet.

The 1248 offers a lot of interface for the money, not to mention MOTU’s take on networked audio.

MOTU have brought their expertise to bear on a new desktop audio interface, the Track 16.

The new Microbook’s miniature exterior hides surprising depths of functionality.

We take an in-depth look at MOTU's most affordable Firewire audio interface yet.

With two market-leading Firewire audio interfaces already part of the MOTU stable, where does the new mobile recording-oriented Traveler find its natural home?

Three years ago, Mark Of The Unicorn were the first manufacturer to bring out a working Firewire interface. Now, they've replaced the 828 with a MkII version offering high sample-rate recording, more flexible clocking, MIDI I/O and better metering — and, what's more, they've cut the price.

I want to output my audio from my PC into my Soundtracs desk for processing. Using all three of my soundcards simultaneously will give me 24 balanced outs. However, these soundcards are different models from different manufacturers. Is there a workaround or do I need three identical cards?

MOTU's range of PCI audio interfaces is based around a single PCI card, with three different rackmounting units offering combinations of analogue and digital I/O.

Mark of the Unicorn were first to market with a multi-channel FireWire audio interface, the 828. Their new 896 adds 96kHz support among other features.
