I tried this little unit and it is the best! The sound quality is way above its price point. Thanks!

I just bought the M4, changing from the presonus. The ESS32 Sabre DAC is the same that I have in my high end home stereo system DAC, costing well over $1800. This is an excellent chip and you can hear how good it is as soon as you turn it on. Also the headphone plug being on the front is nice, AND the headphone amp on the MOTU is freaking awesome.

Thanks for a great review, definitely this interface is the one to go for guitar recordings. So amazing, and the price difference between the comparable ones worth every buck.

I have the MOTU 828es and the MOTU MIDI Express XT and both are phenomenal. They do everything I could ever need, the software and controls work seamlessly, they look great, the displays are beautiful, the knobs and housing feel great, and most importantly the sound is spectacularly detailed and clear. MOTU has been doing this a long time and they know what they're doing. Their pre-amps and DACs are some of the best in the business. And they're an American company. You'd be crazy not to look closely at them for any of their products.

Great review! Keep doing a great work!

Thanks! I ordered an M4.. seems a great value for sure

I bought one....just love everything about it!!!

Good job, Carlo. I am specially pleased you compared the DAC with the much more expensive Studio Quality Professional Motu 828es.

Great review, thanks. Considering one of these. Like the larger monitor screen there running off the laptop.

👏 Carlo that was a great review, I agree your test wasn't scientific but I think it was more than good enough. I listened to it with good quality headphones and I couldn't really tell the difference in your sound comparison test. This video is convincing me more to get this as my first audio interface although I would get the M4 for the extra inputs. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your up coming videos👍.

I have an M4 on order. Can't wait!

Nice through review...my M4 is on order!

Yup. Good lil' unit. I got my hands on the last one in LA. Sam Ash display model. Came fully boxed with all the software download codes etc. Really sweet bit of kit. Recommended at the price if you can find one.

Nice work, man! It really is a great little interface, I'm really impressed with my M4. I think that it steps up the game in this price range. I hope that all of the other big manufacturers take note and start trying to match the preamp and converter quality of the M series!

Thanks for your review! Question please. Would you say the Motu M2 (or M4) has a more powerful preamp compared to say the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (or 4i4) mixer, assuming you have experience with the Scarlett mixers? In other words, how high can you set the gain dial on the Motu mixer before you start hearing that unwanted hissing/humming background sound (when used with say a Shure SM58 XLR mic)? Can you go to total maximum gain or maybe close to it before the unwanted background electronic noise appears?

Hi Casey!.. Unfortunately I haven't tried the Scarlett's yet. Somehow the engineers and designers at MOTU have done a very impressive job in getting the absolute most out of such a small and portable device. If I crank up my M2 preamp to max, any "noise" could be coming from a range of possible things. By it's self with no mic or cable it is quiet. If one is using an older or inexpensive cable, that may introduce noise as well as a the microphone we use. Typically, all my recordings through my M2 are impressive. But keep in mind I try to use very reliable gear in ever link of the chain... Thanks!

First of all, thank you for the video. Great job. Just a quick comment. I think the 828Se sounds a tad better meaning a little less harsh and more smooth. I think it has a warmer smoother sound overall. You can hear it in the symbols the chime, and softness overall. The 828Se is probably a little brighter unit and the Bass is a little least prominent and warmer didn't punch out as much. With all that said, were splitting hairs here not to mention the huge difference in cost. I do wonder how much of the slight difference is due to the fact that the 828 is powered and the M2 is USB. As someone else also commented below I do believe the M2 is a USB 2 Unit only not USB C. Not positive about this but 98% sure it's only able to handle USB 2 not USB C speed which is around 10 Gigs.

Tom! Thanks for the reply... I chose this particular track because of to unique frequencies regarding the highs and lows. The M2 is a USB-C device for certain. Not USB 2. The included cable is a USB-C to a USB standard connection (typical rectangular type that fits most computers still). Perhaps that's where another commentator may of made that mistake. If you have a USB-C to USB-C then for sure you will be utilizing the high speed bus to it's fullest potential. You bring up a good point... Voltage is everything. Obviously the 828es has a more robust power source (the wall) and pre-amps do require optimum energy for a transducer to give you the best possible quality. But, the M2 is thoughtfully engineered to provide a similar standard via USB-C ( with some engineering wizardry ) to match that reliability. It is a remarkable piece of engineering... not to mention the bundles software makes this an unbelievable deal-

You are stuck with USB 2.0 regardless. This is just MOTO thinking forward and putting the USB C connector on their devices going forward. It's still an amazing convenient unit for the money. I think the slight difference we hear in the audio examples played in Carlos Video might be the fact that this is USB driven and the bigger more expensive Motu ES had power.

Olá António. Também sou portugues mas vou falar em Ingles para todos entenderem. You said you use Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 250 ohm headphones. Perhaps the Motu M2 does not have the power for 250 ohm impedance. Audio interfaces from other competing brands only achieve up to 200 ohm impedance and your headphones are 250 ohms. The more ohm impedance the more power is needed. So you may need to buy a Headphone amplifier or exchange your Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 250 ohm for 80 ohm.

The main thing people don't understand about smaller, more affordable preamps with professional quality is that: the reason it can still be that small and high quality and not me a gimmick or too hard to believe is because: studio preamps are mainly expensive for 2 main reasons: 1.) Yes, part of that is quality, which has its own piece of the price, but 2.) No one buys 1 or 2 channel preamps for their commercial level studios, usually these units have several channels and other features, they are literally spending 100s or 1000s on quality per channel/input and maybe some knobs and features they cut out of the home versions. The fact these things have been downsized for the home studios doesn't take away from the same level of quality they would have in a studio.

The MOTU M2 is USB but my MOTU 828es is a rack mount thunderbolt device.

What microphone should I get with this ?

That’s a big question... and a good one! It really depends on your needs and budget. Fortunately the M2 can handle any mic with XLR connections. It this video I demo the M2 with a stereo pair of Lauten LA120 pencil mics. I always recommend purchasing the best quality mics you can reasonably afford. Do some research, check out reviews and get creative!

Ciao a tutti! Quindi ho appena ricevuto la mia interfaccia audio MOTU M2 e ho realizzato questo video delle prime impressioni per te. Volevo provare qualcosa di diverso, quindi ho deciso non solo di recensire l'unità, ma di testarla e confrontarla con un dispositivo più costoso che utilizza gli identici convertitori audio digitali presenti nell'M2. In questo video non solo decomprimo il MOTU M2, ma faccio un confronto audio fianco a fianco con i miei MOTU 828es (un altro hardware molto interessante). Poi registro un po' di chitarra acustica usando l'M2 e un microfono Lauten Audio LA120. Grazie per la visione! WHY IN THE VIDEO YOU SPEAk ENGLISH?????????

If the M2 had a mixer (DAW / direct input), I would've picked one up instantly. However, that knob only comes with the M4 and it's more expensive. Too expensive for my needs (as I don't need the extra options). Other than that, this would be my first choice :)

That knob fades between only input and only the track. I am in complete agreement with Kevin de Groot. I've been wondering if there's a way to mod the M2.

​@@CarloLibertini Thanks for replying. Nice review. You're enjoyable to listen to.. The reason i asked those questions is, you seemed to really like the M2. So when I watch favorably reviews, I always try to gauge whether there is possibly some implicit bias so I can take that into account. The bias could potentially be there from a sponsorship, or gifting of the product, or past history using the brand. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having sponsors who provide products to use or to keep. Nothing wrong with having bias; but I think full disclosure is vital for honest evaluation by others. Some companies expect some level of favor in return for the gift. Or it could be natural for people like you who are fair to others, to unintentionally add a little "flavor of favor" out of appreciation. IMO, the question of WHERE the product came from for the review, and one's history with the manufacturer, and its products, should always be addressed up front as a best practice. You seem like a person of integrity; but the way you worded your response, I'm still not clear whether MOTU gifted you or loaned it to you.

Hey Chaz. Thanks again for reaching out and your very kind words. I was given the unit from the company to beta test and review. Comparing it to the more expensive 828es was my idea. As a thank you I was allowed to keep the M2 for my time and hard work testing it out for them. I received no money for this. I made this video on my own time because I truly was impressed with this little device!

This is just a guess, but judging by the (tiny) difference in the frequency response, with the 828se sounding a bit brighter, but weaker in the bass and low mids, and the M2 having more weight, but slightly less brilliance, I'd say it's possible that the two mics weren't perfectly symmetrically placed in relation to the speaker cap - namely the M2 mic might have been placed a tad more towards the cone. And looking at the picture, the left mic seems to be a very little further from the cap axis. Factoring that possibility out, I'd say the two sound pretty much identical. Even if that's only self-suggestion, a little all around boost (since the difference in brilliance seems to be in the same region for the kick, snare, hi-hats, guitar, and vocals) at around probably 4-5 K would very easily solve the difference in brilliance. As such, I like the low end on the M2 and the top of the 828se, in this recording. They both sound excellent.

Then of course I have nowhere to go from there. I'm having this issue in MOTU's Performer LITE software, too. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

@j.du6

3 жыл бұрын

Turn up the preamp gain until you see the meters at more than 50% and make sure you don't have phantom power on. Maybe the output from the Roland needs to be louder. Test the audio out, but also experiment with the headphone out into the interface as that may give you a louder signal that will need less preamp gain. Look at the waveform in Garageband it should look like in this vid and again the meters on the Motu should show the signal strength. If it is then it must be a gain or monitoring setting in Garageband. Test out a dynamic vocal mic too.

I use the MOTU audio setup to put the headphones on ch7+8, then in my software I direct a copy of my main mix to 7+8 (the headphones) - which I can then mute. This also means that with a 4-channel mix I can reduce the rear output of 1+2+3+4, in the mix-down to 7+8, so the headphones render a more room-like rendering of the quad. With the M4 you should be able to direct 1+2 to 3+4, and with the headphones set to 3+4 you could then mute them. Though I'm not familiar with the new routing driver of MOTU's. I tried two of their new units in my studio and could not get along with the ESS adc/dac's they are now using. The previous AKM chips were great - and is why premium brands such as RME still use them. The ESS chips were a cost-cutting measure for MOTU, they hyped the chips and people have believed the hype - but they don't sound good. I've now ended with new MOTU products - due to the ESS chips.
