Ready-to-record bundle

The Motu M2 2x2 USB audio interface arrives with an MXL 770 cardioid condenser microphone, HPC-A30 studio monitor headphones and an XLR cable. Everything needed for a first home-studio session is in one box. New condition.

120 dB output dynamic range

ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology delivers a measured 120 dB dynamic range on the main outputs and a measured -129 dBu EIN on the mic inputs. The same converter design appears in interfaces costing thousands. Ultra-low 2.5 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz with a 32 sample buffer keeps live monitoring tight.

Plug in and set levels

Connect the interface by USB, attach the microphone with the supplied XLR cable and plug the headphones into the front panel. The full-colour LCD shows detailed level meters for every input and output, so gain staging is visual rather than guesswork. Drivers install on macOS and Windows without extra configuration.

Questions about this item

What does the 120 dB dynamic range mean for my recordings?

It indicates a very low noise floor on the main outputs, giving you clean, detailed playback with plenty of headroom for mixing.

How does the USB connection affect the 2.5 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz?

The USB drivers are engineered to achieve that low latency with a 32 sample buffer, enabling real-time monitoring of live inputs.

What mounting does the MXL 770 microphone need?

It uses a standard microphone stand thread, so it fits any common stand or boom arm.
