About this item

  • Best-in-class audio quality — Equipped with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC Technology found in audio interfaces costing thousands, the M6 delivers an astonishing 120 dB Dynamic Range on its line outputs. ESS converters also drive the headphone outputs, rivaling 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.
  • Best-in-class speed — The M6 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 (32 sample buffer at 96 kHz).
  • Best-in-class metering — When recording and mixing, nothing is more critical than achieving optimum levels. The M6 is the only audio interface in its class with a full color 160x120 pixel LCD featuring clear, detailed level meters for all inputs and outputs. Enjoy professional-level volume control and feedback to get your sound just right.
  • Loopback for live streaming and podcasting — The M6 driver provides convenient loopback channels to your host computer, so you can easily route computer output back to the computer, where you can mix it with up to four mics (and/or guitars) from the M6 in your host software for live streaming or podcasting. Streaming and podcasting has never been easier and better-sounding!
  • Unique A/B Monitor Switch — The M6 is the only audio interface in its class to offer A/B monitor switching. Connect two pairs of monitors and quickly check your mixes on each pair with the push of a button.
  • Professional grade headphone outputs — Driven by ESS Sabre32 DAC Technology, both headphone outputs monitor the signal on Monitor Outs 1-2 and feature independent volume control. The second headphone output includes a 3-4 switch that allows it to independently monitor Line Outs 3-4, which can have a completely separate mix from the computer.
  • Music production software, 100+ virtual instruments and 6 GB of loops — Performer Lite provides everything you need to record, edit, mix, process and master your own music tracks quickly and easily. Plug in your mic, guitar and keyboard and start tracking with over 100 instruments, dozens of effects plug-ins, guitar FX processing, 6 GB of loops and sounds, and much more. Live Lite 11 is a lightweight version of Ableton Live 11 with all of Live’s essential workflows, instruments and effects.

5 Stars
Easy to use, audio quality very similar to $2000 interfaces, just works!
I've had prior MOTU Audio interfaces in the UltraLite line and they sound excellent but were more complex to setup. The M6 is far easier to use and operate and has retained the same level of sound quality. I use my MOTU M6 primarily as an audio interface for video work.I have used several other interfaces from PreSonus, Audient EVO 8, Apollo, and RME. As far as audio quality I could not tell the difference between M6, UA Apollo Twin DUO, RME Fireface UFX III running thru Genelec 8340A Monitors.If I want to do a video/audio project quick and easy, I go with my MOTU workstation setup. Results are excellent!
