MOTU M2 Audio Interface

The MOTU M2 is a USB audio interface built for music production and DJ workflows. It uses ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology to deliver a measured 120 dB dynamic range on its main outputs. The microphone preamps achieve a measured -129 dBu EIN for clean capture. A full colour LCD provides detailed level metering during recording and mixing sessions.

Suited for producers needing transparent conversion

This unit suits home-studio owners and mobile producers who want high-end converter performance in a compact USB device. The low 2.5 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz with a 32 sample buffer helps when monitoring live inputs through a computer. Buyers who require more than two microphone preamps or additional digital I/O should consider other models.

Deciding spec: 120 dB dynamic range on outputs

The headline figure is the measured 120 dB dynamic range on the main outputs, matching converters found in interfaces costing thousands. This single number tells you whether the M2 meets the transparency demands of your critical listening and mastering chain. If your workflow depends on that level of analog performance, the M2 fits; if not, a simpler interface may suffice.

Questions about this item

Will the M2's 2.5 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz let me monitor live inputs through my existing DAW without audible delay?

Yes, the M2 delivers class-leading ultra-low 2.5 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz with a 32 sample buffer, so you can monitor mic, guitar or keyboard inputs through your computer in real time.

How can I verify the M2 is capturing clean audio after I connect it?

The full-colour LCD shows clear, detailed level meters so you can see optimum recording levels instantly, and the measured -129 dBu EIN on the mic inputs confirms ultra-clean preamp performance.

Does the M2 package include everything I need to start recording, or must I buy cables or a power supply separately?

The M2 is USB bus-powered and connects with a standard USB cable, so no external power supply is required; any additional instrument or microphone cables would be separate purchases.
