MOTU M6 6x4 USB Audio Interface

The MOTU M6 is a 6×4 USB audio interface built for musicians and engineers who need more than four inputs without sacrificing sound quality. MOTU packed the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC found in interfaces costing twice as much, delivering 120 dB of dynamic range and measured noise of –129 dBu on the mic preamps. At 2.5 ms round–trip latency, tracking and streaming feel responsive even at 24–bit/192 kHz.

Four rear combo XLR/TRS inputs handle mics, line sources and hi–Z guitars, alongside two further rear 1/4–inch line inputs for synths and outboard gear. Four balanced 1/4–inch outputs and two independent headphone outputs support A/B monitoring and separate cue mixes without routing headaches. A full–colour 160×120 LCD screen built into the front panel shows real–time metering and clip warnings. MIDI I/O, driver loopback for streaming, USB–C connectivity and USB bus power or DC adapter operation round out a control room that fits on a desk.
