Easy to use, with unmatched metering
5 out of 5 stars
Easy to use, with unmatched metering
I purchased this audio interface mainly to facilitate sample-synchronized measurement averaging of in-ear microphone headphone measurements using Room EQ Wizard (REW). The specs are competitive, and the support of 192 kHz sample rate enables the much faster taking of measurements through REW. When trying to take distortion measurements, first make sure that your microphones are compatible. In my case, the unbalanced in-ear electret condenser microphones I had originally acquired from an HRTF measurement kit required plug-in power, my thus needing to obtain the RØDE VXLR+ adapter to convert from 48V phantom power to the 4V plug-in power needed for these microphones to produce a useful signal. For distortion measurements, use the VXLR+, not VXLR Pro, as the latter uses a transformer which measurably introduces third-order harmonic distortion below 2 kHz. The knurled knobs have a pleasant damped feel to their rotation, hindering faster adjustments, but facilitating fine single-finger adjustments. The metering display is quite useful for seeing whether the preamp setting would drive the device into clipping. The TRS sockets can feel rather heavy to insert TRS jacks into. The loopback feature was rather useful for measuring the frequency response (transfer function) of certain VST plugins such as those for binaural HRTF rendering without having to measure it through my headphones.

    It sounds really good when it works, but it is plagued with bad drivers or firmware. Output often stops working and I need to reboot the interface. I’m thinking about returning it. Hopefully MOTU provide a fix soon.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with Windows 10
    Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2021
    The audio interface was great when it worked. The front display panel was useful to prevent clipping. USB C is also nice.

    Unfortunately the Motu M.2. has a known hardware issue or maybe firmware/driver that makes it become unable to be detected with Windows 10. If your unit stops getting detected on windows, and it is still under warranty, open a warranty ticket with Motu, and Motu will offer to repair it.

    Issue does not appear to exist with Mac computers.

    Spent hours and hours trying to get this to work properly, but I just cannot get this to work 100%.

    Following the youtube guide to use voicemeeter + ASIO driver has the best improvement in reducing pops and audio glitches. But I'm still experiencing occasional stutters in video playback that can't replicated when I just play audio out of HDMI. I'm probably going to get an apple dongle and just use this as a headphone amp.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bella scheda ma...
    Reviewed in Italy on September 16, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    La scheda è arrivata con i consueti tempi Prime: quindi velocissimi.
    Perfettamente imballata ed in confezione sigillata.
    Nella scatola la scheda ed un cavetto USB C.

    Installazione.
    Io uso una macchina Windows 7, quindi riporto la mia esperienza con questo sistema operativo.
    Ho scaricato i drivers, collegato ed installata la scheda come da istruzioni sulla unica USB 3 del mio computer.
    Il driver MOTU carica una finestrella che consente di regolare il campionamento. Trovato il punto dove la scheda funziona bene, ho iniziato la prova audio.
    Qui un primo problema. Dopo un po'di ho cercato di spostare la scheda su una USB 2. Ma nulla da fare: il computer da un errore di IRQ, ed anche disinstallando e rei9nstallando il problema permane. L'unico modo per far funzionare la motu (nel mio setup) é tenerla collegata alla USB 3.

    Ascolto ed uso.
    La scheda é stata connessa al mio impianto master. Il rapporto S/N é decisamente professionale e corrisponde alle aspettative di chi compra questo tipo di scheda: il rumore é inesistente!
    Il suono é bello é pulito.
    Gli ingressi microfoni ci sono in linea con le caratteristiche di uscita: non introducono rumore. Comodissima la possibilitá (che hanno ben poche schede) di accendere l'alimentazione phantom separatamente per ogni canale. Nessun problema quindi ad usare microfoni alimentati insieme a microfoni sbilanciati. Gli ingressi linea sono 2 (MOTU 2). Non sono presenti un tastino Hi-z o un ingresso dedicato per strumenti ad altissima impedenza.
    Ancora sul frontale i potenziometri di guadagno dei canali, il master, il comodissimo vu-meter a colori, l'ingresso cuffia ed il suo volume. Il suono della cuffia é ottimo ed ha un buon volume.
    Posteriormente ci sono 2 uscite bilanciate, 2 comodissime uscite RCA sbilanciare se avete un finale stereo o un impiantino con ingressi RCA, e le 2 prese DIN midi oltre alla USB C da connettere al computer.
    L'uso é facile, i potenziometri hanno una bella rotazione ed il case é di metallo. Insomma, la Motu ha quel non so che di solido analogico che non ti lascia mai a piedi che ne rende l'uso piacevolissimo. Le info del display modernissimo sono preziose, e la dotazione posteriore é completa.
    Sono super soddisfatto. Peccato solo per la faccenda della porta che non riesco a cambiare, ma potrebbe essere un problema del mio computer.
    In sintesi: un ottimo prodotto.

    Reviewed in Germany on August 10, 2024

    Nachdem ich lange nach einem hochwertigen Audio-Interface für meine Heimstudio-Aufnahmen gesucht habe, entschied ich mich schließlich für das MOTU M2. Nach einigen Monaten intensiver Nutzung kann ich mit Überzeugung sagen, dass dieses Gerät meine Erwartungen übertroffen hat.

    Das MOTU M2 besticht durch eine exzellente Audioqualität, die selbst bei hochauflösenden Aufnahmen kaum Wünsche offenlässt. Die AD/DA-Wandler liefern einen kristallklaren, transparenten Sound, der es mir ermöglicht, selbst die feinsten Details in meinen Aufnahmen zu hören. Besonders beeindruckend finde ich den Dynamikumfang und die geringe Latenz, die das Interface bietet. Dies macht es zu einer idealen Wahl für Musiker und Produzenten, die eine professionelle Soundqualität in einem kompakten Format suchen.

    Ein weiteres Highlight dieses Interfaces ist seine einfache Bedienung. Die Installation verlief reibungslos, und die Bedienoberfläche ist intuitiv gestaltet. Alle wichtigen Funktionen sind leicht zugänglich, und die Pegelanzeigen auf dem Display bieten eine präzise visuelle Rückmeldung. Das Design des Geräts ist nicht nur funktional, sondern auch ästhetisch ansprechend, was es zu einem echten Blickfang auf meinem Schreibtisch macht.

    Das MOTU M2 ist nicht nur optisch ansprechend, sondern auch solide verarbeitet. Das Gehäuse ist robust, und die Regler fühlen sich hochwertig an. Im täglichen Gebrauch hat mich das Interface nie im Stich gelassen, es arbeitet zuverlässig und stabil, selbst bei intensiver Nutzung und längeren Aufnahmesessions.

    Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt ist der hervorragende Kundensupport von MOTU. Bei einer kleinen Frage zur Software-Integration erhielt ich schnell und kompetent Hilfe. Apropos Software: Das M2 lässt sich nahtlos in meine DAW integrieren und bietet eine Vielzahl von Anschlussmöglichkeiten, die für meine Bedürfnisse mehr als ausreichend sind.

    Fazit:
    Das MOTU M2 ist ein exzellentes USB-Audio-Interface, das sowohl durch seine herausragende Audioqualität als auch durch seine Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Zuverlässigkeit überzeugt. Es ist die perfekte Wahl für alle, die professionelle Ergebnisse in ihrem Heimstudio erzielen möchten, ohne dabei ein Vermögen ausgeben zu müssen. Ich bin mit meinem Kauf rundum zufrieden und kann diese Soundkarte jedem empfehlen, der auf der Suche nach einem leistungsstarken und zuverlässigen Audio-Interface ist.

    Cambié una focusrite solo 4gen por este interface y por ahora muy contento. Se nota el cambio de sonido para bien, está en otra liga diferente tanto en sonido como en calidad de construcción, las guitarras suenan mejor , con más cuerpo, y la salida de auriculares es una maravilla.
    Para pulir la latencia hay que seguir las recomendaciones de motu, en ese sentido espero que sigan puliendo el driver para Windows.

    Edito: Muy buen soporte al cliente, he recurrido a ellos en dos ocasiones y todo bien.
