Looks small, but is great!

I use the motu monitor as a computer interface, as a rehearsal headphone mixer and as a life P.A. mixer for small gigs using wifi.

With the build in mixer (router) you can do anything. When it is setup like a home studio you kan use 2 pair of speakers with direct control/mute buttons in the front.

To use all the inputs i connect my focusrite peamp with a small ADAT cable. You can have 24 inputs with this monitor 8 and send 6 stereo mixes to the headphones.

Pro's:

A lot of in and outputs

Perfect sound, you chose the preamps you like

Build in headphone amps

Control over wifi

Contra's:

Mix software not that easy to do a life mix with laptop or tablet.

No midi
