MOTU M4 4x4 USB-C Audio Interface 4-in/4-out USB-C Audio Interface with 2 Microphone Preamps, LCD Screen, Hardware Monitoring, Loopback, and 6+GB of Free Content - Mac/PC/iOS

Ya me habían recomendado la Motu M4 y sin duda por el precio es una interfaz muy completa, se nota una gran nitidez y profundidad en sus salidas de audio tanto en la de los monitores como en la de los audífonos a comparación de DAC's que rondan un precio similar, no presenta ruido de poping ni claping. Había escuchado que las perillas estaban algo flojas pero veo corrigieron ese problema en éstos nuevos lotes. Aún me falta probar las entradas con micrófonos. Ya veré a futuro su vida útil.

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.

Great construction, solid feeling knobs. Powered by USB so one less cable to worry about. Use it with a MacBook and it just worked out of the box, no messing about with drivers or firmware. Has big midi ins and outs also which I thought I wouldn’t need but came in really handy with a old synth that only has midi. the screen is great and gives you a much greater representation of your sound level compared to a lcd strip. lastly being able to route audio from your laptop back into it is very handy for sampling in a daw. great box.

Does a great job but you may benefit from using a USB-C to USB-C cable (not supplied) PC/Mac interface is great and intuitive. Sound quality as good as you would hope for. Lovely display on the unit helps set levels. Chose this over the "lower" model as it has 4 ins/outs and midi but didnt need the "bigger" versions with more ins/outs.

Easy to use with great interface, installed all extra software with no problems.
