MOTU

Pristine, versatile, and portable, the MOTU M6 desktop 6x4 (not counting headphone outputs) USB-C audio-MIDI interface combines high-class audio performance, a robust bundle of DAWs, virtual instruments, loops, and samples, and a feature set that makes it equally powerful and user-friendly for musicians, podcasters, and producers, all at a highly affordable price point. With its four mic/line/instrument preamps and two balanced line inputs, the M6 can record anything from dynamic and condenser microphones to electric guitars and drum machines in distortion-free, sparkling clarity. Equipped with top-notch ESS digital-to-analog converters that drive the main outs and the headphone jack, the M6 lets you monitor through your speakers and headphones with the dynamic range normally found only on much more expensive interfaces.The M6 is equally suitable for producers, thanks to its MIDI 5-pin I/O. Plug in a MIDI keyboard to control virtual instruments or run MIDI from the M6 to your favorite hardware synth to capture its glorious tones through the M6's pristine analog preamps. No matter what you do, the M6's specially engineered drivers ensure ultralow-latency monitoring, so you can rehearse and record in real time without hearing any distracting echo, and the full-color LCD screen shows you high-resolution metering for all inputs and outputs at all times. The MOTU M6 includes Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite 11, as well as 100+ virtual instruments (Performer Lite), and over 6GB of free loops, samples, and one-shots from industry-leading libraries.At a Glance 6-in / 4-out USB audio interface with studio-quality soundBest-in-class audio quality driven by ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC TechnologyBest-in-class speed (ultralow latency) for host software processingBest-in-class metering for all inputs/outputs with a full-color LCD4 mic / line / Hi-Z guitar inputs on combo XLR/TRSIndividual preamp gain and 48V phantom power for each mic input2 balanced 1/4-inch line inputsHardware (direct) monitoring for all inputsMonitor mix knob to balance live inputs and computer playbackA/B switch to compare mix output on two sets of studio monitorsMeasured -129 dB EIN on mic inputs4 balanced DC-coupled 1/4-inch TRS outputsMeasured 120 dB dynamic range on the 1/4-inch balanced TRS outputs2 headphone outputs (driven by ESS converters) with independent volume controlSwitch for optional headphone monitoring through line outputs 3-4MIDI in/out (16 channels to/from USB host)Support for 44.1 to 192 kHz sample ratesUSB audio class compliant for plug-and-play operation on Mac (no driver required)Windows driver with 2.5 ms roundtrip latency (32-sample buffer at 96 kHz)Mac driver (optional, for 2.5 ms RTL at 32/96 kHz and loopback feature)iOS compatible (USB audio class compliant)Driver loopback for capturing host output, live streaming, and podcastingBus powered USB-C (compatible with USB-A) with power switch (USB cables included)Multiblade international DC power adapter for standalone operation without a computerRugged metal construction (extruded case, faceplates, and knobs)Workstation software included (MOTU Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite 11)100+ instruments (in Performer Lite)Over 6GB of included free loops, samples, and one-shots from industry leading librariesKensington security slotTwo-year warrantyProfessional-Level Audio Quality Equipped with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology found in audio interfaces the pros use, the M6 delivers 120 dB of dynamic range on its main outputs. ESS converters also drive the headphone output. Ultraclean preamp circuits produce a measured -129 dBu EIN on the mic inputs; this means while recording, you'll only hear the mic, not the mic pre.Balanced Monitoring The M6 has balanced 1/4" outputs for professional level monitoring. With two 1/4" headphone outputs, you can also monitor your work privately, plus the 3-4 switch allows for headphone monitoring through line ouputs 3-4.Loopback Channels for Podcast Recording an
