MOTU M2 - The Audio Interface That Outperforms Its Price Tag
The MOTU M2 is a 2-in / 2-out USB-C audio interface that delivers professional studio-grade performance at a price point most producers in India thought was impossible. Built on the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology found in interfaces costing several times more, the M2 sets a new benchmark for audio quality under ₹15,000.
Why the MOTU M2 Beats the Competition
The MOTU M2 delivers 120 dB dynamic range on its main outputs and -129 dB EIN on microphone inputs - specifications that outperform competitors in the same price category.
For comparison:
- Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (4th Gen) — 112 dB dynamic range
- Steinberg UR22C — 106 dB dynamic range
Round-trip latency is as low as 2.5 ms at 96kHz with a 32-sample buffer, allowing real-time monitoring without noticeable delay.
The M2 is also the only interface in its class with a full-colour LCD level meter, giving you precise real-time monitoring of input and output levels.
Built for Every Home Studio Setup
The MOTU M2 is designed for multiple recording and content creation workflows.
- Music producers recording vocals and instruments
- Podcasters and voice-over artists
- Live streamers on YouTube and Instagram
- Content creators needing high-quality audio
The interface supports sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz and works with all major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Reaper and GarageBand.
The bus-powered USB-C design means no external power adapter is required. Simply plug the interface into your computer and start recording.
Included Software — A Complete Recording Setup
Every MOTU M2 includes a powerful software bundle so you can start recording immediately.
- MOTU Performer Lite DAW
