MOTU M2 Desktop 2x2 USB-C Audio Interface with 2x Mic, Headphone, Arm, Cable

Before diving into the world of professional audio production, consider the MOTU M2 Desktop 2x2 USB-C Audio Interface Bundle, a comprehensive package designed to elevate your recording experience. This bundle includes the MOTU M2 audio interface, two H&A AC50 Cardioid Dynamic Microphones, two professional monitor headphones, two broadcast arms, and two 15-foot XLR M to XLR F mic cables, providing everything you need for a complete setup.

The MOTU M2 audio interface stands out with its best-in-class audio quality, speed, and metering capabilities. At the heart of its superior sound is the ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology, renowned for delivering exceptional analog sound quality. This technology, typically found in high-end audio interfaces, ensures a remarkable 120 dB dynamic range on the main outputs. The headphone output, driven by the same ESS converters, offers performance comparable to dedicated headphone amplifiers, ensuring pristine audio clarity.

The M2's ultra-clean preamp circuits achieve a measured -129 dBu EIN on mic inputs, allowing you to capture and monitor audio with exceptional clarity. Whether you're recording vocals, instruments, or podcasts, the M2 ensures your sound is captured with precision.

Speed is another hallmark of the M2, thanks to MOTU's expertly engineered USB drivers. These drivers deliver ultra-low 2.5 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz with a 32-sample buffer, making it ideal for monitoring live inputs such as microphones, guitars, or keyboards through your computer.

Achieving optimal levels during recording and mixing is crucial, and the M2 excels with its full-color LCD screen featuring detailed level meters for all inputs and outputs. This professional-level metering provides clear volume control and feedback, ensuring your sound is perfectly balanced.

The M2 also offers convenient loopback channels, allowing you to route computer output back to your host computer. This feature is perfect for mixing live mics and guitar inputs with computer tracks for seamless live streaming or podcasting.

Versatile and portable, the M2 is perfect for various applications:
- Home Studio: Transform your bedroom or home office into a professional recording studio.
- On Stage: Mix live mic and guitar inputs with computer tracks for live performances.
- On Location: Utilize bus power from your laptop to record anywhere.
