Speed

The MOTU M2 USB Audio Interface 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).

Metering

When recording and mixing, nothing is more critical than achieving optimum levels. The MOTU M2 is the only audio interface in its class with a full color 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

The M2 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 live mics and/or guitar inputs from the M2 in your host software for live streaming or podcasting. Streaming and podcasting has never been easier and better-sounding!

  6. Freed –

    This has been hands-down the best audio interface I’ve used. It beats out the competition by providing digital metering AND separate 48v buttons for each channel AND having top-notch electronics that give a clean sound. Love it!>

  10. Yahya –

    Very nice build quality, highly functioning and transparent sounding interface. I like the loopback and loopback/mix internal bussing options which all my DAWs see. If you don’t need more than a 4 x 4 interface, I’d look no further.

    Yahya –

  11. Shane –

    This is my first audio interface so I have nothing to compare it to but I love it. Gives my voice a very specific sound and it is wonderful allowing you to get right on top of the mic and get as loud as you need…. Thanks ProAudio

    Immediate, solid performance under Windows 10. Simultaneous sound from my OS and DAW. Several problems I was having with latency and glitches on my previous interface simply vanished. System feels rock solid. Well done MOTU.
