PPS: I selected Audiobox USB as it has some good reviews (XMAX preamps), is plug and play with Mac (no drivers needed) and is under 150 euros. The audio interface is there just to hook up my computer and keyboard to the studio monitors for listening to music or keyboard piano. PS: I will not be doing any instruments (like guitar, violin etc) or vocal recordings. Is there any danger of it introducing any distortion in the sound if I take this route or any damaging click sounds on speaker when I am switching between selections? Hook my computer and keyboard to Hosa and Hosa to Audio interface. It is all about communication You, your digital piano and your computer should. One workaround is using one of these Hosa monitor selectors. If there is no good way, do please let me know some other equally good models with 3 or 4 inputs.

My budget for USB audio Interface is about 150 euros (about 200 USD). They will obviously be taken up by the XLR audio outputs (L and R) from my Kawai keyboard. Try a different USB cable or different USB port on your computer. The attached document lists most of the keyboards and digital pianos that Casio has released over the last 15 years. Most of our current keyboards use one method or the other, although a few models have both.

So I have selected (not yet bought) Presonus Audiobox USB. Ensure that the USB cable is connected properly. There are two methods of connecting a Casio keyboard or digital piano to a computer: using standard MIDI In/Out ports, or using USB.

I reckon I will need a USB Audio Interface.

My question is how to connect my mac mini (for youtubing, listening to some mp3s) as well as my Kawai MP10 Digital Piano (for my piano lessons) to my M-audio BX-8 D2 studio monitors. I recently took up learning music as a serious hobby.
