Motu M6-MOTU 4 In 4 Out USB-C Audio Interface

The Motu M6-MOTU delivers an astonishing 120 dB Dynamic Range on its main outputs. ESS converters also drive the headphone outputs, which rival dedicated headphone amplifiers costing hundreds. Ultra-clean preamp circuits produce a measured -129 dBu EIN on the mic inputs. Therefore, you can capture and monitor your audio with pristine clarity.

Lighting Speed

The M6-MOTU provides best-in-class speed for monitoring live inputs (mic, guitar or keyboard) through your computer. In fact, 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) you can acquire a great sound.

Easy to See Metering with M6-MOTU

When recording and mixing, nothing is more critical than achieving optimum levels. The M6-MOTU is the only audio interface in its class with a full-colour LCD. Specifically, it features clear, detailed level meters for all inputs and outputs. Enjoy professional-level volume control and feedback to get your sound just right.

Loopback Your Audio without Issues

The M6-MOTU driver provides convenient loopback channels to your host computer. Afterwards, you can easily route computer output back to the computer, where you can mix it with up to four mics (and/or guitars) from the M6 in your host software for live streaming or podcasting. Streaming and podcasting have never been easier and better sounding!

A/B Monitor Switch – M6-MOTU

The M6-MOTU is the only audio interface in its class to offer A/B monitor switching. Moreover, connect two pairs of monitors and quickly check your mixes on each pair with the push of a button.

Stand-alone Operation

With the included multi-blade international DC power adapter connected, you can power the M6 when the computer is turned off. This allows you to monitor any live inputs you may have (mics, guitars, keyboards, etc.) without a host computer or iOS device needed.

A Tradition of Engineering Excellence

In fact, with decades of award-winning product engineering for hit songs, mega tours, primetime shows and blockbuster movies goes into every MOTU audio interface.

Workstation Software, Virtual Instruments and Loops to get you Making Music Right Away

Furthermore, connect the M6-MOTU to your Mac or PC and start laying down tracks with the included Performer Lite or Live Lite production software, plus hundreds of loops, one-shots and sounds from industry leaders Big Fish Audio, Lucidsamples and Loopmasters.
