MOTU M4 USB Audio Interface

Professional audio quality, speed and metering, the M4 is a 4-in / 4-out USB audio interface that captures and monitors your audio with pristine clarity. Equipped with the same ESS Sabre32 Ultra™ DAC Technology found in audio interfaces costing thousands, the M4 delivers an astonishing 120 dB Dynamic Range on its main outputs. ESS converters also drive the headphone output, which rivals dedicated headphone amplifiers costing hundreds. Ultra-clean preamp circuits produce a measured -129 dBu EIN on the mic inputs.
