Recommended model: MicroBook IIc
MOTU and Innovation are brands of the same era, but Innovation is mainly in the civilian sound card market, while MOTU is biased towards the field of professional sound cards. MOTU has been developing audio, video and music technology products since 1984 and also has a strong presence in the field of digital professional audio equipment.
As a veteran manufacturer, MOTU's technical accumulation is quite deep, it is a professional audio editing software manufacturer, the most famous is its Digital Performer (DP) audio editing software, which has been updated to the 9th generation, even Hollywood is using DP for audio editing, and the music producer of the Marvel blockbuster "Black Panther" uses MOTU sound card and DP editor.
Like many manufacturers, MOTU is an agent sales model in China, and the main agent is "Beijing Anda Shenghong", which is also a relatively safe approach, after all, the sound card belongs to a niche market, so it is not cost-effective to establish a branch overseas for this reason, and the agency model is more secure. But unlike other brands, in order to ensure quality, all audio hardware of MOTU is produced locally, that is, domestic licensed products are imported products.
MOTU is translated as "horse head" in China, not only because of the similar pronunciation, but also because the early MOTU logo is a horse head, although the horse head LOGO is no longer used, but the name "horse head" is still used. Judging from the user's evaluation,MOTU sound card is good, high, medium and low frequency,It is mostly used as an arrangement sound card in China,But the graininess is strong,Some users feel that the sound is not delicate enough,So I don't like this style very much。
Although there are a lot of sound cards in Matou, many of them are professional-grade audio interfaces, both in terms of price and function, which are not very suitable for ordinary users, and are more suitable for use as a personal independent sound card, that is, MicroBook IIc.
MicroBook IIc is an upgraded version of the previous generation MicroBook II, the suffix "c" means that it supports iPad and iPhone, although it requires additional power supply, but MOTU provides a power supply and power cable very user-friendly, and does not need to be purchased separately. Although the size of MicroBook IIc is smaller than 2 in and 2 out of Fuxter Solo, but the port has reached a fully independent 4 in and 6 out, and it comes with DSP operation processor and internal jumper function, with MOTU's self-developed CueMix mixer interface, comprehensive functions, very suitable for user groups with live broadcast and KSong needs, the price is 1699 yuan, the cost performance is outstanding, it is a sound card with no obvious shortcomings.
