MOTU M2 2-Channel USB C Audio Interface Podcast Set

MOTU M2 - The NEW 2-In/2-Out USB Audio Interface from MOTU with Studio-Quality Sound!

Excellent engineering is tradition - decades of experience, award-winning development, worldwide top hits, mega-star tours, primetime TV shows, and music for blockbuster movies - all part of every MOTU audio interface.

Premium Audio Quality

Equipped with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology used, for example, in the high-end MOTU AVB audio interfaces, the M2 delivers an astonishing dynamic range of 120 dB at its main outputs.

This is made possible by the high-quality ESS converters, which are also used in the headphone output. Crystal-clear preamps produce a measured value of -129 dBu EIN at the microphone inputs. You’ll hardly find better sound in this price range.

Speed. Practically Latency-Free Monitoring

The M2 offers latency-free monitoring of live inputs (microphone, guitar, or line signals). MOTU’s ultra-fast USB driver enables a round-trip latency of 2.5 ms (32 sample buffer at 96 kHz).

Detailed Level Meters

When recording and mixing, nothing is more critical than achieving optimal levels. The M2 is the only audio interface in its class with a 160 x 120 pixel LCD color display featuring clear, detailed level meters for all inputs and outputs. Level metering couldn’t be better or more precise.

Loopback

The M2 driver offers a loopback function that lets you send the computer output back into your recording software. Streaming and podcasting have never been easier or better!

Stand-Alone Operation

With a standard USB-C power supply, the M2 can be used as a standalone preamp and basic mixer without a host computer. Simply activate the monitor button for each input (and, if needed, the 48V phantom power) and adjust the preamp as required. Connect the main outputs to any device with line input, such as active speakers or a mixer.

All included. So you can start right away. Workstation software, virtual instruments, and loops.

Connect the M2 to your Mac or PC and create your tracks with the included music production software Performer Lite or Live Lite. Also included are hundreds of loops, one-shots, and sounds from leading manufacturers like Big Fish Audio, Lucidsamples, and Loopmasters. Simply register your purchased M2 with MOTU and download the full professional software immediately. Find the link here

Condenser Microphone for Studio Recordings

The new Pronomic CM-22 is a professional large-diaphragm microphone perfectly suited for demanding studio applications. The FET technology (field-effect transistor) used offers high-quality signal transmission on a fully analog basis, delivers a silky warm sound, and is thus the first choice in the studio for recording vocals and acoustic instruments such as guitar, strings, or drums. The gold-sputtered 1.25" diaphragm and FET preamp ensure a balanced, wide frequency range with low self-noise, and the cardioid polar pattern stable across the entire frequency range makes the CM-22 a true all-rounder for numerous applications. The CM-22 comes with a high-quality microphone shock mount (5/8" thread) and a carrying case.

Comfortable Stereo Headphones

The KH-238 delivers a full, balanced sound with rich bass reproduction and clear highs. It offers plenty of volume yet clean and precise stereo imaging. The softly padded, wide headband is adjustable in length with 12 steps per side for an optimal fit. For even more comfort, the ear cups are mounted on two axes for rotation. The thick, soft padding of the circumaural cups also provides good external noise isolation. The integrated volume control in the cable is always at hand, simplifying use with PC or mp3 player. The 3.5 mm stereo jack plug ensures excellent transmission quality, and a 6.3 mm stereo jack adapter is also included.

Microphone Arm

Made entirely of metal, the McGrey microphone arm offers stable handling at a reasonable price. The arm fits into the sturdy desk clamp and can be secured against twisting. The foam rubber insert on the clamp protects the desk surface from unsightly scratches. Four springs reliably hold your microphone in place while allowing individual adjustments. This ensures consistent vocal quality while giving you full flexibility in microphone positioning. The 3/8" thread fits all common microphone clamps and shock mounts; a reducing thread and a mic clamp are included for immediate use.

XLR Cable

Stage Pro-Line cables use only oxygen-free copper, ensuring durable, consistent quality and corrosion protection. The connectors are hand-soldered and feature strain relief clamps, so the solder joints are free from mechanical stress. A high-density copper shield effectively protects the audio signal from mechanical noise and electromagnetic interference from power supplies and power cables. This guarantees low conductor capacitance and crystal-clear audio transmission.
