Review: Perfection! - Amazing interface! I love the audio levels display. Top notch! Review: Great bit of kit for any small studio - Does a great job but you may benefit from using a USB-C to USB-C cable (not supplied) PC/Mac interface is great and intuitive. Sound quality as good as you would hope for. Lovely display on the unit helps set levels. Chose this over the "lower" model as it has 4 ins/outs and midi but didnt need the "bigger" versions with more ins/outs. ## Features - Rugged Metal Construction - Super Low Latency - Class Compliant (iOS Compatible), USB Bus Powered - Full-Colour LCD Metering Display - MOTU Performer Lite ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08129P2XY | | Audio Input | Audio Interfaces | | Best Sellers Rank | 30,400 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 127 in Computer Audio Interfaces | | Brand | MOTU | | Brand Name | MOTU | | Compatible Devices | USB devices | | Compatible devices | USB devices | | Connectivity Technology | External Line Return, USB | | Connectivity technology | External Line Return, USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 836 Reviews | | Frequency Response | 192 KHz | | Frequency response | 192 KHz | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 10.8D x 21W x 4.4H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Audio Interface | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | MOTU | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3140 | | Maximum Sample Rate | 192 KHz | | Model Number | M4 | | Number of Channels | 8 | | Number of channels | 8 | | Operating System | Mac, Windows, iOS | | Product Warranty | 2 years. | | Supported Software | MOTU Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite production software | | Supported software | MOTU Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite production software | | UPC | 839128006126 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MOTU - **Compatible devices:** USB devices - **Connectivity technology:** External Line Return, USB - **Number of channels:** 8 - **Supported software:** MOTU Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite production software ## Images ![MOTU M4- USB Audio Interface - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LmjndVTHL.jpg) ![MOTU M4- USB Audio Interface - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uOZCxx-IL.jpg) ![MOTU M4- USB Audio Interface - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iqqwuX0pL.jpg) ![MOTU M4- USB Audio Interface - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Q7+kY9mSL.jpg) ![MOTU M4- USB Audio Interface - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JsQWxBgjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this work on ps4** A: No, the MOTU M4 -Audio Interface will not work with PS4.
