MOTU M2

120dB dynamic range under $200. Best measurements in its class.

MOTU quietly built the best-measuring audio interface under $200. The ESS Sabre32 DAC delivers 120dB dynamic range — specs that shame the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2's 109dB rating and outperform interfaces costing three times as much. The color LCD level meters on the front panel show real-time input and output levels, making gain staging visual and intuitive. Loopback routing for streaming, USB-C, and dead-silent preamps. The MOTU M2 won 15 of 17 shootout and review comparisons in 2023-2024 and remains the value king at $195.
