Product Description

Equipped with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC Technology found in audio interfaces costing thousands, the M2 from Motu delivers an astonishing 120 dB Dynamic Range on its main outputs. ESS converters also drive the headphone output, which rivals dedicated headphone amplifiers costing hundreds. Ultra-clean preamp circuits produce a measured -129 dBu EIN on the mic inputs. Capture and monitor your audio with pristine clarity. The M2 provides best-in-class speed for monitoring live inputs (mic, guitar or keyboard) through your computer, thanks to MOTU's expertly engineered USB drivers, which deliver class-leading, ultra-low 2.5 ms Round Trip Latency (at 96 kHz with a 32 sample buffer). When recording and mixing, nothing is more critical than achieving optimum levels. The M2 is the only audio interface in its class with a full color LCD featuring clear, detailed level meters for all inputs and outputs. It comes with an extra XLR-XLR cable.

Box Contains

    MOTU M2 2x2 USB-C Audio Interface
    • MOTU Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite
    • 100+ instruments
    • 6 GB of free loops and sample packs
    • XLR-XLR Cable
