MOTU M6 – 6-in / 4-out USB-C audio interface with 24-bit/192 kHz conversion, full-color LCD metering, four mic preamps with Hi-Z and phantom power, loopback functionality, MIDI I/O, and dual headphone amps – a powerful solution for professional recording, monitoring, and streaming.
The MOTU M6 is a versatile and robust audio interface designed for Mac, PC, and iOS devices. It features four combo XLR/TRS inputs with individual gain control, Hi-Z support for instruments, and 48V phantom power for condenser microphones. Two additional TRS line inputs and four TRS line outputs offer flexible routing options. On the front panel, there are two independent headphone outputs with volume control and a “3-4” switch for monitoring an alternate stereo mix.
The high-resolution full-color LCD provides precise real-time metering for all inputs and outputs. Loopback functionality allows you to route the host output back into your DAW or streaming app, making the M6 ideal for livestreamers, podcasters, and content creators. The interface is USB bus-powered (USB-C and compatible with USB-A) and also includes an external power adapter for standalone operation. The bundled software includes MOTU Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite 11, along with over 6 GB of samples and 100+ virtual instruments to kickstart your productions.
