Review: MOTU Is My Go-To - I have used MOTU interfaces for decades. I just keep coming back to them? Why? They sound completely transparent and have rock solid drivers for Windows. The preamps are clean and clear, the noise floor and distortion are extremely low, and jitter is non-existent. It does not hurt that they are priced so competitively. My current home studio setup consists of an MOTU M4 and a pair of Neumann KH120II monitors and Luna Pro, and I am very pleased with it. Features that set it apart at this price point are the LED meters and physical direct monitoring mix control. Nothing else has those, and they work very well. My only complaint is the headphone amp's power. It is on the weak side, but that is the price you pay for USB bus power. Headphone amp output requires power, and there simply is not much available after running the rest of the device. The good news is the headphone out can serve as a preamp of an external headphone amp, so the problem is easily solved. I use a Schiit Heresy to drive my cans. Very happy overall. All the stars.
Review: Excellent audio interface - I discovered the MOTU M series of audio interfaces when I was looking to solve a specific problem that I had. I'm using this as my primary audio input and output for my PC, driving both my monitors and headphones with independent volume control is an incredible quality of life enhancement. The LCD display for the levels is extremely helpful when I'm dialing in my gain on my input or trying to confirm that I'm speaking loud enough. The ability to mix between playback and input monitoring when monitoring your input gives a very dialed and natural experience to even normal calls, gaming, or meetings for work. I take advantage of the ASIO drivers in my DAW for low latency audio as well, and this thing fits right in. It has a dedicated loopback output in the software as well, so you can direct loopback to be captured as a source out of the box if that's something you need for your workflow. It has an impressive array of physical inputs and outputs, to the point where I'm not even able to take full advantage of it yet in my setup. One unexpected bonus for this was that the 48V phantom power switch is on the front of the unit, where on my previous audio interface phantom power was running 24/7. With the MOTU M4, I'm able to turn off the mic's power quite easily, leading to a much more efficient setup. It was easy to set up and remains a hassle-free component of my everyday usage of my computer. It's a little expensive but worth every penny for me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you control channel 3/4 gain?**
A: 3 and 4 are fixed and are line level.  3 and 4 are designed so one can bypass the built in preamps available on 1 and 2.  3 and 4  are there to use with better preamps like channel strips if u have them.  There is no gain no them. This is  also another reason this device is ingenious.  U cant find another device in this price range that gives u the sound and flexibility with 4 inputs and 4 outputs. The M4 is a no brainer.  Say u have a mackie 1202.... u could use pres there and with the 2 built in.  Or if say u had a 2ch micpreamp like the ART MPA.  Gives u a chance for different flavors.  Or maybe your keyboard or MPC to record into. $219.00 bucks.  Nothing else to say. Besides they are flying off the shelves. Better get it while u can.

**Q: Mic into M4 mic pre 1, M4 output 1 to compressor in, compressor out to M4 input 3...would this work for a hardware compressor insert?**
A: Not at all.  U need another preamp and compressor in front of that and use the 3rd in put on the rear.  U could also use like a channelstrip style preamp eq compressor or what ever in may have.  If u use pro tools u can add a compressor in an aux and rout its output to another track and get a software compression there.

**Q: Can this interface record all 4 line in signals, independently and at the same time into your daw?  or, does it mix down to a stereo track?**
A: The M4 can record 4 tracks simultaneously in your DAW.

**Q: I have a schitt jotunheim amplifier which accepts xlr input from a dac. would i be able to use a balanced trs to xlr cable to send sound to the unit?**
A: The M4 has balanced outputs on all 4 outputs. So yes it will convert TRS 1/4 to an XLR connector. See the amplifier specs for its pinout wiring on xlr input to be sure the pins match correctly.  All XLR inputs are not the same depending on the manufacturer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you need the extra I/O the Motu M4 is perfect. If you don't, get the M2
*by R***N on December 12, 2019*

After a fair bit of searching and testing, this is the best audio interface I've found for a home studio. The amazing parts: Usb-c to usb-a 2.0 bus powered! No dealing with an extra power cable Very low noise floor and great sounding preamps Powerful enough for most headphones but also has plenty of outputs for an additional headphone amp Direct monitoring is handy Built in loopback is rare on interfaces of this price and it's very nice to have Very low latency Could be useful depending on use case: The screen is useful and high quality but I tend to just monitor in Ableton so I haven't used it a whole lot. With that being said, it is still a rather nice feature to have. Usb-c is nice to have but I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker if it had a different USB standard. The included software is nice especially if you're just starting out. Bad: Not exactly a negative but more something to bear in mind. The Motu M2 is basically the exact same interface but with fewer inputs and outputs. If you don't think you need the extra inputs and outputs that the M4 has, the M2 is a much better deal for you. Edit after a couple years of ownership: the Motu M4 is still my absolute favorite interface, however there is one quirk that I have found. I'm not sure whether it's MOTU's fault or Windows, but at least partial blame goes to MOTU considering no other interface I've used has had this bug. Occasionally it would output and record sound as if it had been pitch shifted (think Alvin and the Chipmunks). I believe it is some sort of clock sync error with Windows. After getting into contact with their technical support (who deserve props for not just regurgitating the same useless copy-pasted answers and actually problem solving effectively), I was presented with a simple solution: disable fast startup on your PC. Once I did that, the problem was immediately solved and has not occurred again for well over a year. Personally, I still think it's an excellent interface and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it despite that bizarre quirk. Latency is still incredibly impressive and the preamps are still very clean. I've also come to love the monitoring screen, it's become very difficult to go back to an interface without it.
