MOTU M6 6-Channel USB C Audio Interface Podcast Set

Four Microphone Inputs. Top Audio Quality, Performance & Level Meters!

Audio Quality

Equipped with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology found in audio interfaces costing thousands of euros, the M6 delivers an astonishing 120 dB dynamic range at its main outputs. The ESS converters also drive the headphone outputs, easily matching dedicated headphone amplifiers that cost hundreds of euros. Ultra-clean preamp circuits produce a measured noise floor of -129 dBu at the microphone inputs. This allows absolutely pure and uncolored audio recordings.

• ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology for outstanding analog sound
• The same converter technology used in audio interfaces costing thousands of euros
• Measured dynamic range of 120 dB at the outputs
• Measured noise floor of -129 dBu EIN at the microphone inputs
• ESS-driven headphone outputs

Speed

The M6 offers top speed for monitoring live inputs (microphone, guitar, or keyboard) through the computer, thanks to advanced USB drivers delivering ultra-low round-trip latency (RTL) of 2.5 ms (32 sample buffer at 96 kHz).

Level Meters

When recording and mixing, nothing is more important than optimal levels. The M6 is the only audio interface in its class with a 160x120 pixel color LCD display that provides clear and detailed level meters for all inputs and outputs.

Loopback

The M6 driver offers loopback channels to the host computer, allowing computer outputs to be easily routed back to the computer, where they can be mixed with live microphones and/or guitar/inputs from the M6 in the host software for live streaming or podcasting. Streaming and podcasting have never been easier or sounded better!

A/B Monitor Switch

The M6 is the only audio interface in its class to offer an A/B monitor switch. Connect two pairs of monitors and compare your mixes on each pair with just one button press.

Stand-Alone Operation

With the included power supply, you can power the M6 even without a computer connected. This lets you use all live inputs (microphones, guitars, keyboards, etc.) in stand-alone mode.

A Tradition of Excellent Technology

Every MOTU audio interface embodies decades of award-winning product development for hit songs, mega tours, primetime shows, and blockbuster films.

Condenser Microphone for Studio Recordings

The new Pronomic CM-22 is a professional large-diaphragm microphone ideally suited for demanding studio applications. The FET technology (field-effect transistor) used provides high-quality signal transmission on a fully analog basis, delivers a silky warm sound, and is 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 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 while maintaining clean and precise stereo imaging. Naturally, the softly padded, wide headband is length-adjustable. The extension offers 12 steps on each side for 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 within reach, simplifying use with a PC or mp3 player. The 3.5 mm stereo jack plug delivers excellent transmission properties, and a 6.3 mm stereo jack adapter (nickel-plated) 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 table clamp and can be secured against twisting. The foam rubber insert in the clamp protects the table surface from unsightly scratches. A total of 4 springs reliably hold your microphone in place while allowing individual adjustments. This way, you can rely on consistent vocal quality while having full flexibility in microphone positioning. The 3/8" thread fits all common microphone clips and shock mounts; a reducer thread and a mic clip are also included for immediate use.

XLR Cable

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