USB Audio Interface Bundle

The Motu M4 is a 4x4 USB audio interface designed for musicians, podcasters and producers who need studio-quality conversion and low-latency monitoring in a bus-powered unit. It includes an Aston Element microphone and a Kellards 20 ft XLR cable for immediate recording.

Solo creators and desktop studios

The bundle suits solo artists, streamers and home-studio owners who want ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC performance, 48 V phantom power, MIDI I/O on 5-pin DIN jacks and virtual loopback for streaming. Builders needing more than two mic preamps or standalone operation without a host computer should look elsewhere.

120 dB dynamic range on main outputs

The headline specification is a measured 120 dB dynamic range on the main outputs, driven by ESS converters that also feed the headphone output. This figure, together with -129 dBu EIN on the mic inputs and 2.5 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz with a 32-sample buffer, determines whether the interface meets your fidelity and monitoring requirements.
