Motu - M6
Motu M6, digital audio interface with 6 inputs (including 4 microphones), 4 outputs with A/B + 2 headphone outputs with independent mixes. USB 2.0 interface on USB-C connector, self-powered and autonomous.
Presentation
The Motu M6 has the same technical specifications, and adds some very useful features such as the A/B switch for comparing a mix on two different pairs of monitors, 2 headphone outputs with independent volume control, and the 3-4 switch for independent headphone monitoring of outputs 3-4 (instead of 1-2).
What Motu M series have in common
- a clear, detailed 160 x 120 pixel colour LCD screen for full, precise control of the interface
- ultra-low round-trip latency (RTL) of 2.5 ms (with a buffer size of 32 samples, and a frequency of 96 kHz)
- ESS Sabre32 Ultra™ digital-to-analogue converter technology offering 120dB dynamic range on its line outputs
- the use of ESS converters for the headphone outputs too
- ultra-clean pre-amp circuits (with a measured EIN of -129dBu on the mic inputs).
In this price category, no other brand offers comparable products!
