MOTU M2 Audio Interface Review / Test / Explained

Today we are looking at the new Motu M2 2x2 USB-C Audio Interface. This thing offers 32-bit floating point, 192khz sample rate, +60dB of gain, an EIN of -129.5dBu, Loopback functionality for podcasters and streamers, an On/Off button, and individual phantom power on/off buttons per channel.
