Motu M4 4x4 USB-C Audio-MIDI Interface with XLR Cable and Straps

MOTU M4 4x4 USB-C Audio-MIDI Interface

The MOTU M4 is a desktop 4x4 USB Type-C audio-MIDI interface designed for musicians, podcasters and producers who need pristine conversion in a portable package. It provides two front-panel mic/line/instrument preamps and two rear-panel line inputs for recording microphones, guitars and synths. ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology drives the main outputs and headphone jack for transparent monitoring. A bundle of DAWs, virtual instruments, loops and samples is included.

ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology for sustained

ESS Sabre32 Ultra DAC technology delivers measured 120 dB dynamic range on outputs and measured -129 dBu EIN on mic inputs, maintaining low noise and high headroom during long sessions. The ESS-driven headphone output preserves detail at any volume without the fatigue that lesser converters introduce over time. Digital loopback channels route computer audio directly into host software for streaming or sampling without extra cables. MIDI 5-pin I/O integrates hardware synths and controllers into the same workflow.

Upgrades basic interfaces

This interface replaces entry-level units that lack ESS converter performance, 4x4 I/O or MIDI connectivity in a single desktop box. The jump is worth it when you need measured 120 dB dynamic range, -129 dBu EIN and loopback for content creation alongside traditional recording. Over 100 included virtual instruments expand the production palette immediately. Buyers who need more than four simultaneous inputs or rackmount format should consider larger I/O solutions.
