About MOTU M2
FEATURED REVIEWS
Great sound & display
We?re using this to livestream worship receiving an XLR from the soundboard, using the direct monitor out for those in our video booth to hear, and we really like the great display for keeping the levels clear so we know when adjustments need made so that we get the best possible sound for those worshipping online. Huge improvement in usability and sound quality over the Zoom H4n we were using previously. Highly recommend.

The M2 driver also includes convenient loopback channels, allowing you to easily route computer output back to the computer. This feature simplifies live streaming or podcasting, as you can mix computer output with live mics and/or guitar inputs from the M2 in your host software.
