MOTU M6 USB-C Audio Interface for Studio-Quality Sound

About this item

• Best-in-class metering — When recording and mixing, nothing is more critical than achieving optimum levels. The M6 is the only audio interface in its class with a full color 160x120 pixel LCD featuring clear, detailed level meters for all inputs and outputs. Enjoy professional-level volume control and feedback to get your sound just right.
• Best-in-class audio quality — Equipped with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC Technology found in audio interfaces costing thousands, the M6 delivers an astonishing 120 dB Dynamic Range on its line outputs. ESS converters also drive the headphone outputs, rivaling 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.
• Solid and secure construction — Rugged metal construction throughout includes a solid yet lightweight extruded aluminum alloy shell, steel faceplates, precision-knurled knobs, and a universally compatible Kensington security slot.
• Music creation software, featuring over 100 virtual instruments and 6 GB of loops — Performer Lite equips you with all the tools required for fast and effortless recording, editing, mixing, processing, and mastering of your music tracks. Connect your microphone, guitar, and keyboard to begin tracking with a wide array of instruments, numerous effects plug-ins, guitar FX processing, 6 GB of loops and sounds, and additional features. Live Lite 11 serves as a streamlined edition of Ableton Live 11, encompassing all the key workflows, instruments, and effects from the full version.

• Loopback for live streaming and podcasting — The M6 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 up to four mics (and/or guitars) from the M6 in your host software for live streaming or podcasting. Streaming and podcasting has never been easier and better-sounding!
• Professional grade headphone outputs — Driven by ESS Sabre32 DAC Technology, both headphone outputs monitor the signal on Monitor Outs 1-2 and feature independent volume control. The second headphone output includes a 3-4 switch that allows it to independently monitor Line Outs 3-4, which can have a completely separate mix from the computer.
• Unique A/B Monitor Switch — The M6 is the only audio interface in its class to offer A/B monitor switching. 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 (or completely disconnected from the M6). 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 — Decades of award-winning product engineering for hit songs, mega tours, primetime shows and blockbuster movies goes into every MOTU audio interface.
• Best-in-class speed — The M6 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 (32 sample buffer at 96 kHz).
