Like the smaller M-series models, MOTU's M6 audio interface is a high-quality recording device for instruments, voice, vocals and more. With its robust housing, included power supply and Mac and PC compatibility, you can easily take the interface with you anywhere. or in the studio, at home or with friends on the couch - enjoy reliable performance on both computers and iOS devices.

For recording, there are four combo jacks (XLR/line) and two line inputs, so you can easily master common recording situations. Formats from 44.1 to 192 kHz are supported with the lowest latency. Phantom power and a direct monitoring function are also available.

In addition, there is MIDI In and Out for your master keyboard or synth, while two stereo (jack) outputs invite you to A/B compare your tracks - provided you have two pairs of monitors. Conveniently, thanks to the ''3-4'' switch on the front, the monitoring function for headphones can be activated on output 3-4. This gives you an additional stereo audio output for monitoring audio signals in addition to the two crystal-sounding headphone amps on the front.

Not to forget the extremely accurate metering, which is displayed via a high-resolution LCD display. While competitors often rely on simple ''overload'' indications, here you get a nice insight into your levels.
