The Motu M4 audio interface is a remarkable piece of equipment, featuring the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology typically found in high-end audio interfaces that can cost thousands of dollars. This technology enables the M4 to achieve an impressive dynamic range of 120 dB on its main outputs, offering outstanding audio quality. Furthermore, the ESS converters are responsible for driving the headphone output, which competes effectively with dedicated headphone amplifiers priced in the hundreds.
Designed for unprecedented audio clarity, the M4's ultra-clean preamp circuits measure an exceptional -129 dBu equivalent input noise (EIN) on the microphone inputs, ensuring that your audio capture remains free of unwanted noise. This makes it an excellent choice for capturing and monitoring audio with impeccable precision.
When it comes to live monitoring—whether for microphone, guitar, or keyboard inputs—the M4 excels in delivering unrivaled speed. This is largely due to MOTU's meticulously crafted USB drivers, which ensure a remarkable round-trip latency as low as 2.5 ms. This low latency allows for smooth and instantaneous monitoring while recording.
Achieving optimal audio levels during recording and mixing is crucial, and the M4 stands out as the only audio interface in its category equipped with a full-color LCD screen. This interface features clear and detailed level meters for all input and output signals, making it easier than ever to maintain proper levels throughout your sessions.
Included with the M4 is the AKG Project Studio P220, a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that boasts a true condenser capsule with a 1” diameter. The cardioid polar pattern of this microphone effectively focuses audio capture on the sound source directly in front of the capsule, significantly minimizing unwanted ambient noise from the sides and rear, thus enhancing overall recording quality.
Additionally, the bundle comes with the Polsen HPC-A30 closed-back studio monitor headphones and a 20' XLR-XLR cable, providing everything you need to start recording right away. The M4 package includes several essential items that make it a complete solution for audio production:
With its advanced ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology, the Motu M4 not only promises superb analog sound quality but also offers a feature-rich package that caters to both professional and aspiring musicians. Whether you are recording, mixing, or monitoring, the M4 provides the tools needed to elevate your audio production experience to new heights, all housed within a sleek and user-friendly interface.
