The single cable features a 5-pin XLR Neutrik DMX connector and a USB-A 2.0 connector. The USB ONE is mainly used for DMX input, and an additional MADRIX key (software license) is required for DMX output.

Q: 1. Can this be used with a mobile device?

A: The Saramonic MV-Mixer USB-C Audio Interface is not guaranteed to be compatible with mobile devices.

Q: 2. Do you need a Cloudlifter with this interface? I want to pair it with the Rode PodMic, but I do podcast recording/editing on audacity.

A: No, a Cloudlifter is not required for the Rode PodMic and in most applications, people who use the PodMic do not need additional gain. The Senal XU-1648 XLR-USB Interface provides up to 35 dB of gain. If you do find that more gain is desired, the Cloudlifer can be added to the signal chain as an optional accessory.

Q: 3. Does this record in true 32 bit float?

A: This has a depth of 24 bit, and does not have a 32 bit float.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with the Aputure Amaran F21/22 fixtures?

Q: 5. Why is the headphone output of the mic so low but the system audio normal?

A: The headphones you are using with the XLR-USB-48 may require more power which can be achieved by using a headphone amplifier such as the Polsen HPA-4X2 (B&H # POHPA4X2) to provide more volume. You can find additional options for headphone amps listed under the "Accessories" tab.

Q: 7. I'm using these with Genelec 8010 monitors. Can I add a Genelec 5040 subwoofer to the red/white RCA outputs simultaneously?

A: The RCA left/right and the 1/4" TRS left/right outputs on the MOTU M2 Desktop 2x2 USB Type-C Audio/MIDI Interface can be used simultaneously, so you can connect the Genelec 8010 Studio Monitors and the Genelec 5040 Active Subwoofer to the outputs on the M2 at the same time.

Q: 8. Does this work with the new Apple Silicon M1 chip?

A: NO. MOTU products are not yet qualified for use with the new M1-powered Macs. The M2 and M4 bus-powered USB audio interfaces are compatible with macOS Big Sur as USB audio class compliant devices, allowing plug-and-play operation with no driver installation needed. A driver will soon be available that provides lower latency performance, loopback channels and Core Audio volume control under macOS Big Sur.

Q: 9. Can this be used as a decent field mixer/recorder? Given the rear XLR's and USB, it seems to have potential!

A: The MOTU M6 cannot be used as a recorder because it does not have an SD card port to be able to record any audio to. Furthermore, this uses a DC power adapter so it requires wall plugin power for indoor use.

Q: 10. What's the round trip latency with 64 samples @ 44.1kHz ?
