MOTU (Mark of The Unicorn) is the absolute gold standard when it comes to low latency musical interfaces. I have been SO UNBELIEVABLY happy with my unit - the sound quality, the speed, the ease of use, the software - and the support - these guys have it all!! I loved it so much a bought a second for my Florida home. When I needed one down there, there was literally no question as to which one. MOTU is the one you want... without a doubt.

Tenía altas expectativas con la Motu M4… y la verdad es que las superó con creces. Desde el momento en que la saqué de la caja, se notó la calidad: construcción sólida y buenas terminaciones.Los preamps son cristalinos y la latencia es prácticamente inexistente. Además, tiene loopback, lo que es un plus enorme si haces streaming o grabaciones en vivo.Calidad de gama alta a precio razonable.

Great interface with phenomenal drivers that resemble or are the same as the RME drivers, rock solid and best latency I’ve ever gotten from any interface. I’ve owned Antelope Audio, Focusrite, UAD, this is way more reliable and practical. It’s also universal, apart from using it on PC and Mac, for church services I plug my iPad to it to run pads and tracks.

Top notch product. Delivered as described.

Ravi de cette carte son ou je branche mon micro et mes enceintes actives ,fait tres bien le job sans que l'investissement soit élevé ,un tres bon produit

Purchased this in 2021 and have no been disappointed yet. I also own the the MOTU 2048 mk3 interface for about 7 years now and it is still going strong which prompted me to stay in the MOTU brand.This interface is a top-notch audio interface that delivers exceptional sound quality, user-friendly functionality, and a robust build. It's an excellent choice for musicians and producers who demand high-quality audio at an affordable price. I use it as an input for stream.Key features include:Superior Sound Quality: Crystal-clear audio reproduction for both input and output.Intuitive Design: Easy to set up and use, even for beginners.Durable Construction: Built to last with high-quality materials.I will continue to recommend this brand and this interface

Excellent interface

I did have some trouble at first getting the interface to play nice with Studio One. It turned out to be my own mistake, misunderstanding how a particular option in the DAW worked. It's probably worth noting that I sent a support request in to Studio One, because I was pretty sure there was no problem with the Motu. PreSonus got exactly the right answer to me in a very short period of time, so I facepalmed, then went on with making very clean nice recordings. I haven't done audio recording in more than a decade, and even then was little more than a noob, so if you're new to this sort of thing, expect a few bumps along the way, but don't be discouraged. This particular interface is not a bad choice for a beginner, and probably not for more experienced DAW users either.When I first fiddled with audio recording more than a decade ago, even my fairly expensive interface had audible noise on it when I got the game to a decent level. I was probably just doing it wrong but partly it was that the hardware was just not that good back then. This interface is a breeze to use and somehow my audio recordings even without plugins or anything seem to sound a little better than the live playback via MIDI. The raw recording can't *really* be sounding better than the live instrument, but the point is that this interface is super quiet and isn't going to degrade your audio in the process of recording.One disappointment, but a reminder one in my situation: the extra inputs on the back of the unit can't actually handle line output from your typical keyboard, as I have been expecting. The signal out of a keyboard just isn't strong enough for those inputs, so I use the front ones instead and set the gain appropriately. To use them in the back would probably require a preamp or something. I suspect that for most users the M2 makes more sense than this M4, but I don't regret getting this model. The price difference isn't really that huge.

Upgraded from a Focusrite Scarlett to the Motu M4 for a couple reason. I heard that this was an upgrade in terms of audio quality, which is good but it's also just the interface, so it's not going to be a big change. It can also give more gain to the monitoring headphones, which is something I was looking for since my headphones were starting to hit the maximum of what the Scarlett could give. The main feature I was interested in with this upgrade are the two line in inputs on the back. This is mostly meant for instruments, but I was interested in using this for rhythm games.If you've played a rhythm game at home before, you know that you need the lowest latency you can get with your audio. Often times, the best way to make it work is to directly connect speakers to the device or use the device's own speakers. This works great if that's the only thing you're doing, but there are times where that's not the case. I often find myself on my desktop listening to a video in the background if I'm playing casually or talking to my friends along with screensharing the game. In these cases, there are two options for listening to both at once: buy a dedicated mixer or plug the outgoing audio directly to the computer. Using a mixer does work, but I found it to be a hassle to set up. An extra usb port for power, extra wires being looped around my desk, and carefully setting everything up to not introduce any noise (admittedly, that's probably because I went cheap on the mixer). All that just to play one game for an hour did not feel worth it. The easiest alternative is to directly connect the audio to the computer and listen to the playback, but Windows likes to introduce extra latency in the process. It's not enough to ruin every game, but for rhythm games especially, it's easy to notice the difference between this method and directly plugging in headphones.This leads to why I was interested in the Motu M4. The back 3 and 4 inputs are line inputs, exactly like how I had the audio currently connected to the computer. They're similarly passed to the computer as an audio input, so I can bring the audio over for screensharing. The real benefit to having this connected to the audio interface itself is that these inputs can be directly monitored. Just like the microphone on the Scarlett, monitoring these inputs directly has practically no latency. Monitoring these inputs still allows the audio from the computer to go through, which gives the exact setup I was looking for!The main concern I still had before getting this was the volume of this input. Many people were complaining that the gain is a little low and would need an external amplifier to make usable in many situations. However, I could never find anyone discussing it in terms of the use case I was looking for, so I wasn't sure how well it would work. I'm happy to say this this worked very well for me, but I do want to add some details to that. I did find it to be a little low at the start, leading me to raise the volume almost to max while before I had it a little over half. I also had to mess around a bit with the volume of everything involved. There's a knob that balances between the computer audio and the direct monitored audio, so as long as you have some leeway in headphone volume or computer volume, you should be able to make it work. That doesn't affect the recorded volume though, so you'll want to make sure that other's listening through a screenshare can hear the game fine. Lastly I'm used to listening to things at a bit of a lower volume than others, so if you like to have things loud and would want both of these sources to do that, this setup may not be perfect for you.At the end of the day, the Motu M4 gave me exactly the setup I was looking for without all the extra clutter of a mixer with my previous audio interface. If you have been looking for a setup like this for a similarly specific reason, I think this is worth trying out.

Esta interfaz para mi es perfecta! Me encanta que cada entrada para micrófono/instrumento viene con su propio preamplificadot y monitoreo. La compre para usarla con mi Rode NT1 y mis beyerdynamic de 250 ohms y no tube ningún problema y no tuve ningún problema. La calidad del proceso de audio es hermosa, clara y limpia!La pantalla es lo que me encanto! Es muy cómodo y más fácil poder ver el monitoreo de audio con la pantalla que tiene. La construcción es muy buena. Compre la M4 y no tengo ninguna queja.Mi único consejo es que si son de Mexico lo compren con un vendedor mexicano, que entreguen ellos mismos usando solo DHL o FedEx ya que suele haber muchas pérdidas de paquetes con otras paqueterías.
