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, tours of mega stars, primetime TV shows and music for blockbuster movies - all part of every MOTU audio interface.
Top-Notch Audio Quality
Equipped with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology used in high-end MOTU AVB audio interfaces, the M2 delivers an astonishing 120 dB dynamic range on its main outputs.
This is made possible by the high-quality ESS converters, which are also used on the headphone output. Crystal-clear preamps produce a measured value of -129 dBu EIN on the mic 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 (mic, 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 phantom power if needed) and adjust the preamp gain 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. Just register your purchased M2 at MOTU and download the full professional software immediately. Find the link here

The KH-238 delivers a full, balanced sound with rich bass and clear highs. It offers plenty of volume yet clean and precise stereo imaging. Naturally, the softly padded, wide headband is length adjustable. The extension offers 12 steps per 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 additionally provides good external noise isolation.
The volume control integrated in the cable is always at hand and makes usage with PC or mp3 player easier. The 3.5 mm stereo jack plug delivers excellent transmission properties and an adapter to 6.3 mm jack (stereo) is also included.
