MOTU M2 2-Channel Audio Interface - Secondhand

Full Description

The finest preamps

From drums to strings, and pianos to vocals. It's hard to make bad recordings when you've got MOTU preamps in your set-up. These studio-grade preamps guarantee crystal clear, transparent reproduction of virtually any instrument or voice. Their low-noise floor and extensive dynamic range makes every source sound wholly natural. So much so that upon later playback, you'll be forgiven for forgetting that you're not in the same room as the artist!

Freebies galore!

To ensure you hit the ground running the M2 comes complete with Ableton Live Lite and MOTU performer Lite. The choice of two fully-functioning DAWs allows you to find the system that's right for you for a stress-free recording experience. Over 100 highly-realistic virtual instruments are included in Performer Lite, alongside 6GB of the finest loops, sounds and samples that will kick-start your creativity.

Perfect loops

The M2 includes useful loopback channels. This enables you to capture a multi-track signal of both your computer's audio and microphones which can be sent back into the DAW. If you're a podcaster or journalist who regularly interviews celebrities over Skype, Teams and Zoom then this will definitely come in handy!

MIDI power

Incorporate your favourite MIDI controller thanks to the inclusion of a traditional 5-pin MIDI input and output section. This eliminates the need for an additional MIDI interface. The streamlined set-up that the M2 provides allows you to focus on what's most important - making excellent music. Thanks to this handy feature, you'll be able to send MIDI data from your DAW as CV to your outboard analog synthesizers, Eurorack and modular set-ups.
