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.

    • MOTU, a good product
I will address other complaints. If you have a hum noise, it's you PC or tablet's power supply, I figured that out by changing power supply, This unit isn't intended to power passive speakers, hello! Internet browser issues are caused by your PC's settings ie 44k and 48k. I have found keeping you PC in 48k works best. Yes you may have some issues with Lynicks (spell) drivers, this unit works best PC and mac. I also would suggest a high quality usb-c cord there's a difference. Pops and crackles are due to you setting a low sample rate and you computer not having enough power to accommodate especially if you are throwing a lot at the unit and computer and you computer can't keep up, try 192 or higher sample rate you should be good. You must understand, this is also a $200 unit, and you ARE getting a product that WILL do the job, I've been using it live for triggering keyboard samples and I don't have any problems. I've made so very nice recording productions no problem also, but on that note, they will only turn out good if you know what your doing. Your DAW software also plays an important part of the process. I am not affiliated with MOTU, I've been a user of their products for over 20 years, they work as intended, and this model has the update DA converter, and updated driver. My mk3 ultra lite took a dump after many years of being on a abusive road. This was the perfect replacement for my needs, and I use it for recording as well. Hope all this helped. Some complaints on here were from a lack of knowledge of what and how this unit works. It's a great unit, especially at this price point. If you're buying this, then you probably don't have a 10's of thousands of dollars recording studio and you wouldn't be posting on here. Bottom line, great unit. ... show more

    • good value especially for price
Great quality and value for the price. However it can be a pain on windows experiencing audio dropouts, but make sure drivers are updated. I also noticed my audio dropouts disappeared after using my own USB C cord rather than the provided one.

    • Works great, sounds great
I replaced a dead 5 yo Scarlett 4i4 with the Motu M2. Had everything I need. 2 line/mic ins, 2 balanced outs, MIDI in/out, individual switchable phantom power per input, 1/4 inch headphone. Sound quality is great, in and out.

    • Surprisingly Competent
Got this product to function for both XLR Mic input, and to use as a DAC for an amplifier, and both work with no hiccups at all. Even if you didn't have a proper headphone amp, you could substitute it (atleast temporarily) with the headphone output on this thing. The screen looks pretty good but could use some dB numbers on it to get some actual data from. The Generic output on my computer actually uses both line in ports in their own respective stereo channel which doesnt really fit my needs as of now, and I dont really want to use the other outputs it gives in my computer, so I simply used a vst (A1 Stereo Control by Alex Hilton) to downmix both channels into what is functionally mono but in stereo. Software is pretty simple with a few check boxes for settings and the only real "fine tuning" you can do being changing the sample rate and buffer sizes, though the settings out of the gate work fine as is. One oversight would be the lack of a mute button for line in. You could just get an external xlr mute switch but like, why? It is more of a general audio interface problem that I wish the industry would just quit. Other than that, I highly recommend the Motu M2! ... show more

    • Best audio interface for the price
I’m sure there are more expensive audio interfaces with less latency, but this one has just a tiny bit of latency compared to the Sonos I had been using, and the price is right.

    • Love it so far!
I replaced an aging Steinburg UR22 with the Motu MR 22. Both used for commercial audio for Radio/TV/Digital ads and content. Overall end result…cleaner voice recordings, better mic sound, and I love having VU meters on the unit. Very pleased with overall build quality and performance! Now we’ll see how it holds up! ... show more

    • Inferior product that lasted 18 months with very light use
I have had many MOTU audio interfaces over the years (828 and 828 mkII for example), and those each lasted almost 8 years before having any kinds of degrading issues. This M2 arrived brand new with an annoying noise problem, that was coming through the USB port. After much research, I had to buy a separate USB audio ground loop eliminator ($60) to alleviate this. After that, the M2 worked ok until 18 months later, now the phantom power buttons (48V) on both channels 1&2 will not engage. And pressing either of them restarts the unit entirely. This is now completely unusable with my condenser mics that require phantom power. Good thing I had an extra Komplete 6 from 10 years ago laying around... still works! As for MOTU, I don't see myself buying another product from this name ever again. ... show more
