motu 2 - my 1st loveа
DALMNESVET 19.01.2022
Заказал в Москву 13 января в ночь на 14е, 19го утром уже получил посылочку с гитарой(ups express). Сразу коротко и ясно отзыв об
этой великолепной карте:
-Сборка высшего качества, крутилки, разъемы - все безупречно.
-Удобство установки - все ок на мак(ос монтерей)
- Звук СУПЕР(всё громко и чётко). Гитару пишет превосходно, звук шикарен, просто идеал.
-соотношение цена/качество прекрасное

Спасибо Thomann !
Я счастлив

Powerful yet portable
Oxonian 12.02.2022
First time using this portable Motu interface and I'm pleasantly surprised. I used to own the MK3 years ago and the quality was outstanding. The M2 is very similar in quality. I listened to some of my recordings with my previous audio interface and they sounded appalling! Once I re-recorded the instruments using the M2, the quality was significantly better. I would definitely recommend this device to anyone who wants to put together a small-scale home studio.

Fantanstic quality and usability
Ivan Boyko 24.04.2023
I've spent quite some time researching the market for the best balanced audio interface for my needs - record voice and electric guitar.

The best review I've seen is from Julian Krausse on YouTube, really deep technical analysis and comparison, watch it!

Now Motu M2 may cost above average for this user level devices, but I think it's worth it. It's just amazingly perfect in all aspects, but I'd mention 2 things:
- do upgrade firmware, I did have occasional weird noise in monitoring channels, and upgrade solved it
- power is just enough to drive Sony MDR-7506, maybe it will not be enough for some monitors with higher input impedance, but probably it's still better than other interfaces

Really Big Upgrade
Tiea 18.11.2021
I purchased this to replace my Focusrite Solo 3rd Gen interface because it was unreliable. My microphone was always crackling, when I was listening to audio it made random noises and it was really annoying. Motu M2 is a huge upgrade for me, couldn't be more satisfied with the purchase. The small screen on the interface looks really nice, sounds a lot clearer than my old interface and also it's a lot more reliable, build quality feels a lot better as well. I can only recommend it to anyone who's considering this buy!

Excellent Interface - best at this price
Abroxis 17.10.2020
I got this about a month ago and it has been stellar. Previously, I was using a Roland Rubix 22.

The Motu M2 has been reviewed in considerable depth already, so there isn't anything new I can say about it. From my personal perspective it has been excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone on a budget.

PROS:
- Best at this price range in multiple categories: balance, headphone amp (internal impedance and output power), distortion, noise, frequency response
- Can drive my 470 ohm headphones
- Solid build quality (body feels robust, knobs are smooth and have adequate weight when turning them)
- macOS driver and software shaved off additional seconds from the overall delay time in my DAW - REMEMBER to install them if you are a mac user
- Loopback functionality
- Display is not necessary but cool to have and accurate as well
- On/Off button

CONS:
- Included USB cable is dangerously close to being too short

Top Tier entry level interface. It is very easy to understand and it easy to use and get started.

One of the best audio interfaces you can get right now
Pierre.B 19.04.2022
At this price, with these inputs / outputs, this interface is possibly one of the best ones you can get. My only gripe is I started wishing there were more outputs. Might consider switching to the Motu M4...

Big Sur and M1 compatible
Juan Micó 27.09.2021
Excellent converters and sturdy build.
It requires an extra step to work on macOS Big Sur, but after that it gets recognised by the Mac and any DAWs as expected.

Solid Beginner DAC
CallumK 06.05.2022
Well thought out DAC with good clean quality. Like that it is USB powered but has a switch so you don't have to have it on all the time or keep disconnecting it. Love the big volume knob which feels nice and the fact it has midi in and out. Great simple product with no issues so far, stable drivers just does what it says on the tin.

Bang for the buck
Czukuruku 17.10.2023
The number of possible uses of that audio interface for the money you need to pay is hard to conquer.
A huge plus is possible of paring it with for instance Beyerdynamic 880 dt pro 320 ohm with no additional devices.
