Four mic inputs with best-in-class sound, speed and metering

Best-in-class sound and speed

The Motu M6 is a 6-in / 4-out USB-C audio interface with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology found in far more expensive interfaces: 120 dB dynamic range on the main outputs, headphone outputs also driven by ESS converters, and mic preamps with −129 dBu EIN. It offers four combo XLR/TRS mic/line/guitar inputs, each with independent gain and 48 V phantom power, plus two balanced line inputs. MOTU drivers deliver just 2.5 ms round-trip latency (96 kHz, 32-sample buffer), and the full-colour LCD shows clear level meters for all inputs and outputs.

A/B speakers, stand-alone operation and loopback

The M6 is the only interface in its class with an A/B switch for two pairs of studio monitors. Both headphone outputs have independent volume, and the second can monitor a separate mix from outputs 3-4. With the included power adapter it also works without a computer for monitoring live inputs. Loopback lets you mix computer audio with up to four mics for livestreaming and podcasting. A metal chassis, MIDI in/out and MOTU Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite software with over 6 GB of loops complete the package.

Best-in-class audio quality

The M6 uses the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology found in audio interfaces costing thousands and delivers a measured 120 dB dynamic range on its main outputs.

Four clean preamps and ESS headphone outputs

The mic preamps measure −129 dBu EIN, while the ESS-driven headphone outputs rival dedicated headphone amplifiers. MOTU USB drivers deliver round-trip latency of just 2.5 ms, and the full-colour LCD shows levels for all inputs and outputs.

A/B monitor switch and stand-alone operation

The M6 is the only audio interface in its class to offer A/B monitor switching. Connect two pairs of monitors and check your mixes on each pair at the push of a button.

Stand-alone operation

With the included power adapter, the M6 works even when the computer is off or disconnected, so you can monitor mics, guitars and keyboards without a computer or iOS device.

Loopback for live streaming

The M6 driver provides loopback channels to your computer: computer audio is routed back into your software, where you can mix it with up to four mics or guitars from the M6.

Four-mic podcasting

With four mic inputs and two headphone outputs, the M6 is ideal for multi-host podcasts, livestreaming and band recording in the home studio.
