Description

Equipped with an ESS SABRE 32DAC, this USB-C interface delivers best-in-class audio specs, the fastest latency, and superior visibility.

Best-in-class audio quality
MOTU M2 and M4 interfaces feature the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology found in expensive audio interfaces and luxury purists, delivering an astounding 120 dB dynamic range at their main outputs. ESS converters also provide headphone outputs that rival those found in professional headphone amplifiers. The ultra-clean preamp circuitry delivers a measured EIN of -129 dBu at the microphone input, ensuring you capture and monitor audio with pristine clarity.

● Fastest latency speed in its class
With USB drivers designed by expert MOTU engineers, the M2/M4 offers class-leading, ultra-fast 2.5 ms round-trip latency (at 96 kHz/32 sample buffer) for monitoring live input (microphone, guitar, or keyboard) through your computer.

Best-in-Class Visibility: Nothing is more important in recording and mixing than setting optimal levels. The M2/M4 are the only audio interfaces in their class to feature a full-color LCD with clear, detailed level meters for every input and output. Enjoy professional-level volume control and feedback.

●Loopback for live streaming and distribution
The M2/M4 driver provides a loopback channel to your host computer, allowing you to stream your computer's audio, along with a live microphone or guitar input, as a mix to your favorite podcast platform, YouTube, or a live streaming app in real time. With the MOTU M2/M4, streaming and podcasting has never been easier or sounded better!

●Performer Lite (DAW bundled with M2/M4)
Performer Lite gives you everything you need to quickly and easily record, edit, mix, process, and master your music. Plug in your microphone, guitar, and MIDI keyboard and start tracking with over 100 virtual instruments, dozens of effects, guitar effects, and more.
